I want to tell you about one of my favourite Chinese lunar new year sayings: 年年有余. It means Every year have plenty. But it sounds like Every year have fish because Chinese is a language rife with homonyms. On LNY people eat fish to symbolize having everything they need. Some people will purposefully leave one portion of fish uneaten to metaphorically demonstrate they already have more than enough.
I will say one thing right now. This is. Like a lot of fish. Certainly more than plenty. It's potentially excessive, actually. I painted these fish over the course of a month. While painting them I learned way more about niche YouTube drama and disturbing tiktok trends than I needed to (I'm an avid if disgruntled youtube essay consumer while painting).
I have no idea what to do with originals so of course I made prints. These are 4-colour risograph prints layered through the magic of Spectrolite and Affinity. I hope u like them and also that u have a lot of fish and/or plenty in the coming year.
