I drew this piece with Prismacolor Pencils, right after I finished doing the People of Pern book back in 1988.
At that time, I did it on a dark magenta paper, and I didn't think it was very successful; so when I scanned it in to the computer to make this print, I changed the paper color to a deep blue. Thank you, Adobe, for making this so easy to do!
When I did this piece, I was experimenting with the flexibility of a mermaid's tail. So I made it as flexible as I thought I could get away with! And since I was in a tired and reflective mood, I brought that over into the picture, too.
We still have 2 of these available in the signed edition. If you want one, order it soon. When those are sold out, I'm going to remove the buttons at the bottom of this page, and the signed prints will no longer be available.
The print has an image area roughly 7x9 inches and comes matted on a piece of foam-core board. Open edition, signed by the artist. $25 + $7 shipping and handling.
