Caribbean Sea Dragon / Sea Monster. Hand-drawn in India Ink on watercolor paper.

The Legend of the Blue Hole – Hand-Drawn Sea Monster Art – Archival Print

This hand-drawn pen and ink artwork 'The Legend of the Blue Hole,' began as a simple day scene with a sun—but as my sea monsters often do, it evolved into something unexpected. The moon and deep shadows pulled the waves into a baroque-inspired motif, creating a night scene filled with mystery and myth.
      I can't explain where these creatures come from; they emerge from the depths of my subconscious, often surprising me with their ornate style. This piece features a sea monster or sea dragon that might look a bit fierce, but it's inspired by the Eastern view of dragons: benevolent protectors who bring rain, fertility, and spiritual wisdom.
 

Technical Details:

  • Printed using quality Giclée process with archival pigmented inks and acid-free art paper. With proper care, they should look as good 100 years from now as they do today.
  • Unframed prints are shipped in a sturdy reinforced cardboard "crush-proof" tube.
  • Close-up detailed images of the map above are not individual pieces of artwork. Framed prints are examples.
  • Watermarks will not be on your print.

 

Special orders: I've listed my most popular sizes, but larger prints and in-between custom sizes are available if you need a specific size to fill a space perfectly. This print is a 3:4 Ratio print. For example, a 21 "x28" or 39 "x52" can be special ordered. Contact me for a quote.

 

Originally drawn in India ink on D'Arches watercolor paper (24" x18"), this print pairs well with my nautical charts for a coastal-inspired grouping. Whether you're decorating a beach house, Caribbean villa, or just love mythical ocean art, 'The Legend of the Blue Hole' brings a touch of dragon-magic to your space.

    Giclee Prints are exceptional is in the area of achivability and color accuracy. Great attention has been given to the formulation of the inks so they can display a much wider color gamut than other forms of printing. At the same time, the inks have been engineered to last a lifetime if not longer. The media itself also plays a role. Acid-free, archival media either on a cotton or alpha-cellulose base tends to be the most common materials used. This further ensures the inks will not fade and the paper will not be as easily yellow as with other types of papers.

  • Size/Space/Tip

    Visualizing art filling a specific space on the wall can be tricky. 
    An easy way to see if the size of the print you are considering fits your wall space is to cut a piece of poster board to size and tape it to the wall to see if it is what you need. 
    If the print is on stretched canvas, it is ready to hang. However, a print on paper needs a frame, so you'll need to add inches to the width and height of the posterboard mockup to accommodate mating and framing. Example: A narrow one-inch wide frame with a standard 3-inch wide mat around the artwork would add 8 inches to the width and height. So a 15"x20" print would be 23"x28" when hung.
