Dolphin Prints?

Pictures. Paintings. Posters. I dunno. Something that could be framed and hung on a lounge wall.

Where could I get something like this? How much?

(Sorry for this being a really boring question.)

I misread this as Dolphin Parents!

It was worth a try, though, right? :)

(It was a present I wanted to buy for my elderly mother, you know! I'm not completely selfish. She's a big dolphin fan.)

There is even a dolphin religion in Nelson, NZ.

Don't know if these are still available.

Some of the latter are pretty suitable. Thanks. I don't suppose any of these are available anywhere in UK funds, though?

AllPosters ships internationally.

Yeah, it's just the currency exchange, charges, etc. No matter, I will save this link for future reference.

Ah I see. Excuse the ignert Yank please.

SHARKS ARE WHERE IT'S AT.

yeah there are fuckloads of dolphin prints here in nz - every garage sale has one, and one in three suburban houses has one hung really high on the 'lounge' wall.

Surely these are available in every shop that caters for dippy teenage girls and sells novelty mobile phone holders ect.? I mean, if there's an Athena or something similar still going anywhere near you it'll have the tacky stuff squirrelled away somewhere. I don't mean to sound snobby, but there was a major dolphin fetish at my school for some reason, and backlit swathes of blue give me the heeby-jeebies even now.

Well, I'm not after anything I'd call tacky. Dolphins aren't inherently tacky are they?

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 7 April 2003 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

No, but they are frequently represented in the form of cheap jewellery charms in the Argos catalogue, along with jointed gold clown pendants with semi-precious stones for eyes. Dolphins are, I'm sure, lovely creatures, but their primary purpose as depicted in artistic endeavours seems to be as indicators of cheap spirituality. This means it may be difficult to find something actually nice and classy.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 7 April 2003 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

You might be right. I was thinking of something straightforward and tasteful, not pseudo-arty or symbolic or anything.

There is a place in Lovely Birmingham that might have something, but I don't know what it's called or remember where it is... (In my defence, I'm referring to a nine-year-old memory.)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 7 April 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

nine year olds know nothing.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 7 April 2003 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I meant something I remembered from nine years ago, at which time I slightly older than nine.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 7 April 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

thought so.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 7 April 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i think dolphins have been thoroughly claimed by tacky and there's no going back for them. it's sad cause, like whales, they have such lovely eyes...

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Monday, 7 April 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I have actually seen non-tacky dolphin paintings, but they were in NZ, and I can't remember the artist's name. They were pointilist. (if that's the word I want)

― isadora (isadora), Monday, 7 April 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't like pointilism...makes me feel like i'm looking at a colour blindness test.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Dolphins are colour blind.

― Erik, Tuesday, 8 April 2003 08:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Does that make them less inclined to paint in a pointilist style?
