Fishy Tales

Due to the success of their Fishy Tales prints, which were exhibited in Jealous Gallery in November 2024, Mark and Nettie have now self-published a book with only 300 copies produced.

Fishy Tales is a limited edition, beautifully produced 60-page coffee-table book, bringing together Mark and Nettie’s shared love for art and food, combining art, recipes and storytelling to be enjoyed by food lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

Mark first collaborated with artist Nettie Wakefield on his last book Hooked – Adventures in Angling and Eating. Her black and white illustrations, not only of fish, but portraits of Mark and his fishing buddies, featured throughout the book, replacing the usual food photography.

They joined forces again last year to create a colourful project, bringing art and food together, with a collection of framed prints to add to your kitchen wall. The prints combine seafood recipes by Mark, accompanied by beautifully detailed illustrations by Nettie Wakefield; combined to create a series of 28 limited edition artworks, printed in London’s Jealous Print Studio. The idea was inspired by the Andy Warhol book Wild Raspberries.

The book is priced at £90 and available to buy online using the link below.
