Description A new paper illustration for a friend of mine at work . I brought in the book "Confetti" by Brittany Lee a few weeks ago to work and my friend loved the mermaids in it (it's an awesome book! Go check out her work here: britsketch.blogspot.com/) .

So I decided to do a different take on a mermaid for her. It was a lot of fun! I've had a lot of stressful things going on the last few months, so my creativity really dried up. But this idea got into my head and I had it drawn out, cut up, and glued down all within a week! Looking forward to the next project now!

Thank you! I remember watching a video about Pacific Northwest tribes in an anthropology class in college. I was fascinated by their facial tattoos.

Yeah my anthropology class in college had a little section on that as well. I really enjoyed that class actually. It was one of the many general eds that I actually enjoyed going to. Anyways good work again

The thing I love most about this one is the way the white seal against her black hair mirrors her tail.
