Hi Joey-

My name is Joe Higgins – I’m one of the artists at Local Colors- I make Gyotaku fish prints- (like attached). I’m the newest artist. I catch all the fish from a kayak off the North Shore coast. I have a website www.fishedimpressions.com if you want to see more. Anyway I thought i would introduce myself– I’ll be running some event in June at Local Colors as well as raising some money for local fish related charities including The Large Pelagic center and others (maybe you have some suggestion-

Here are a few prints that are in gallery- the tuna tail is from a #700 lb tuna.

Anyway I’ll be hosting some weekends in June where kids can make fish and lobster print shirts at no cost–
I’ll be working this tomorrow and Saturday all day at Local Colors – -if you are in the neighborhood – swing by

Regards-

Joe
