Artwork Description

The “Fail Whale” is an iconic error message that was displayed when Twitter's backend servers were struggling to cope with the number of incoming requests during its early years. It was an image of a whale being lifted by several birds, indicating that something went wrong on the site".
So I just had to play with the image and came up with my version in this detailed hand pulled etching print.
Having been told my etchings are stylistically reminiscent of Samuel Palmers I hope this one captures a little of his essence, along with some humour in regards to the "Fail whale" icon failing! It is a stand alone print off of the plate in sepia (hence being classed as a mono print).

Note the frame is wooden and has natural rustic seams and indentations.

Artist Bio

Lyndsey is an Australian (NZ born) contemporary, eclectic artist creating unique paintings, prints and sculptures inspired by nature from her Sydney studio.

Taking a very varied approach to her chosen subjects Lyndsey is somewhat of a chameleon, never staying within one genre or style. Lyndsey chooses her colour palettes with care, aiming to create tranquil, calm even meditative works or enhance with bright hues and bold strokes along with many other physical applications of paint, pen, pencil and more. Flitting from each discipline as inspiration hits, Lyndsey is a responsive artist.

Some career highlights have been works featured in the media from her many and varied Bald Archy portrait artworks.

Also a finalist in many art competitions such as The Hills Grammar Acquisitive Art Prize, Blacktown Art Prize, Hunters Hill Art Prize, The Bald Archy, Westmead Art Prize to name a few, and has won multiple awards in different disciplines. Her artworks are found in private and public institutions here in Australia and overseas. Lyndsey was honoured to be one of 3 artists involved in bringing "Drawing on Memory" to life for Holocaust Survivor Harry Fransman (featured on Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise).

Education includes a Diploma of Fine Art from The Sydney Gallery School, study at Julian Ashton School of Art, Waikato Polytech and many casual art workshops after being predominantly a self taught artist.
