Stormalong and Kraken Screen Print

$40.00

This print is based on the legend of Captain Alfred Stormalong, the giant sailor from Massachusetts folklore, and his rivalry with the Kraken. I originally illustrated the artwork as a skateboard graphic for Boston-based Highwater Skateboards, then reworked it for this print edition with new lettering pulled from an old folk song about Stormalong.

Print Method: 2-color screen print

Paper: 270 gsm New Blue Color Plan

Edition: Signed and numbered in an edition of 90

Inspired by an Old Sailor’s Tale

Drawing Up a Storm

I drew the original artwork by hand with brush pen on light blue paper, then added white gel pen highlights to build out the waves, clouds, and smaller details. For the print edition, I replaced the original “Highwater Skateboards” lettering with “To me way you, Storm-a-long,” a lyric from an old folk song tied to the Stormalong legend.
