Very heavily influence form japanese prints as usual, Hokusai printed his masterpiece, The Great Wave off Kanagawa in 1829 when he was 70 years old! Just goes to show as a artist you often don't hit your stride till you have had plenty of practice!

Ultramarine is awesome! balance out with Cadmium Yellow and Qinderchrone gold.
