"Kiss Before the Pearl Falls"
"Weeping pearls: Mermaids do not weep in storms. They cry in silence, deep beneath coral thrones. When they do, the tears are caught by the fluted giant clam - the sacred Tridacna squamosa, whose ridged shell cradles sorrow. These droplets harden into weeping pearls. Not worn, not sold - only offered to the sea at the end of a reign or a love.
Far in the East, an ancient chronicle Bo Wu Zhi records: “In the south lives the water-dwelling like fish people, tirelessly weaving, and from their eyes fall pearls.” This tale of the Tear-Weaving Folk mirrors the mermaid myths of the West. The legends of East and West drift together like converging tides, meeting within the ridged embrace of the fluted giant clam. Across distant seas and ancient tongues, a single image endures - tears become pearls, and what is left unsaid runs deepest." - Excerpt from the field notes of Thalor of Westwyn, envoy to Sirenhold, recorded in Voyages Beyond the Ninth Tide (circa 862 A.E.)

My art would ship for online orders besides convention. Here is an example. Prints are handmade with care on canon ink and professional paper, packaged with backing board and flap seal bag. I sign in gold ink and put bonus mini prints in the pack sometimes! I bought mailing tubes for 13 x 19 inch posters this month. Shipping not included. Thank you all again for supporting my art!
