Yellowtail is the most energetic print of the series. There is a certain “the mountains are calling and I must go” urgency and inner call to action about her. Featuring and upside down rare black cockatoo, and various colour tail feather adornments as headdress, there is no doubt that this lots is off on an adventure. With such motivating energy an out it, this is a perfect piece of art for any work environment, put it over your desk in your study or home studio and soak up some of that energy!
Charcoal navy and deep plum sit at the heart of this print, anchored by a warm acid yellow that pulses through the bird’s markings and spills down the composition like wet paint; these are joined by soft sage green in the spread wing feathers, a blush-pink wash across the lower half, and the pale warm cream of the background. That combination of cool-leaning darks and warm acidic yellow gives the palette a clear temperature split, which makes wall colour choices surprisingly flexible. A deep blue-green – something in the direction of a smoky teal or dark peacock – would echo the navy and plum in an analogous move, letting the yellow read as pure punctuation. Alternatively, the yellow’s warmth invites contrast: a wall in deep warm charcoal or graphite will make it sing without fighting the cooler tones in the bird. For a quieter setting, a warm off-white with a barely-there cream or blush undertone sits comfortably beside the pink and cream already present in the composition. In terms of style, this print suits a maximalist interior as naturally as it does a contemporary graphic scheme, and it would sit just as well in a sophisticated eclectic or dark-academia room – anywhere that welcomes wit alongside genuine visual drama. A reading room, a bedroom, or a moody hallway are all strong placements; the figure’s averted gaze feels particularly at home in a private space rather than a busy communal one. This print belongs to the Featherbrain collection, a series that pays tribute to Edward Lear by placing his iconic bird illustrations alongside female protagonists in a world of "vivid colours and elegant lines" – it pairs beautifully with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves illustration, ornithology, or art with a quiet, knowing strangeness to it.
The print is produced with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface that sits as well in a slim oak or black metal frame as it does behind glass in an ornate gilded one – the matte finish reads as museum-grade without any of the reflection that can flatten a heavily lit wall. Available in A4 (21 × 29.7 cm), A3 (29.7 × 42 cm), and A2 (42 × 59.4 cm), the smaller sizes work on a shelf or as part of a Featherbrain gallery arrangement, the A3 holds its own as a single considered piece in a smaller room, and the A2 has enough presence to anchor a bedroom wall or act as the centrepiece of a larger grouping. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
