Massive – 2023 Inktober Dictionary Page Art Print by Amanda Vance

Part of Amanda Vance’s 2023 Inktober Series, where each illustration was drawn on authentic vintage dictionary pages inspired by daily word prompts.

For “Massive,” Amanda illustrates a fisherman in a small boat suspended above a giant open-mouthed fish, its scale exaggerated to humorous and surreal effect. The playful tension between the two captures both the thrill of the catch and the sense of being dwarfed by nature’s enormity.

The piece combines delicate ink lines with bold contrast, balancing whimsy and intimidation. Printed on archival-quality fine art paper, this giclée edition preserves the original texture and tone of the 1960s dictionary page, highlighting the handcrafted detail that defines Amanda’s work.
