Printed as a museum-quality giclée on matte fine art paper (200gsm), using rich 12-color ink. Unframed. 11”x17″ with a 1″ white border.

I collect old, overlooked, and strangely beautiful pieces of public domain art — the ones with charm, texture, and a little grit.
Sometimes I restore them gently. Sometimes I crop or remix them completely.
Every piece is chosen for its feel — not just its history.

It’s about giving old art a second life by making it look incredible on modern walls.

Gosse’s Sea Anemones (Actinologia britannica, 1860)
Author: Philip Henry Gosse, FRS
Title: Actinologia britannica. A History of the British Sea-Anemones and Corals (1860)
Fun fact: Gosse basically invented the seawater aquarium. He made marine biology sexy in Victorian England and turned sea creatures into visual poetry.
