Southern Rock Lobster — hand-painted art

The painting

The cold-water cray the south is built around

Down in the cooler, kelp-lined reefs of southern Australia and Tasmania, the southern rock lobster is the prize, deep red-orange, heavily armoured, and steeped in coastal tradition from the cray pot to the Christmas table. It's a different world from the tropics: colder water, kelp and stone, and a species that locals hold in real esteem.

We hand-paint the southern's rich colour and rugged shell to honour that southern reef heritage. A classic for cool-water divers and fishers, tees, keychains, charms and stickers.
