Description

I fear I may be heading for another "sabbatical" from the hobby shortly. Art is just too damned expensive these days.

Yes, there is still plenty of reasonably priced stuff to be had, including this gorgeous drawing. But collecting comic book or fantasy art is definitely much less fun these days than when I began doing it in the 90's, for a number of reasons that I really don't have the heart to delve into.

Maybe that's too sour an observation to append to such an elegant and whimsical drawing, though. Sensuality and a sly tweak of humor make an irresistible combination, for my money.

I can see why you like getting these Pelaez mermaids... the rendering is really exquisite!
