Tattoo Neptune

I wanted to take my mind off of things and draw something familiar yet different. I succeeded!

I've had tattoos on the brain lately. I don't have any and never really expected to get one. But lately I've been thinking about getting a little something for the experience of a tattoo. We'll see if I go through with it!

I've always admired classic tattoo art. I just love it! But I had never really thought about illustrating in that style before. So today I did! I don't expect to be doing it often but it was a fun little study.

Eglė

Yesterday I received a postcard from Palanga, Lithuania with this statue of Eglė, the Queen of Serpents. I had never heard of her but looked it up and it's a very popular fairy tale of a woman, Eglė, who was taken under the sea to marry the King of Serpents. Her family ended up killing him so she was so heartbroken she turned her 4 children and herself into trees. I don't know about that ending but I love a good sea related myth!

That got me inspired to do this:

It's got all my favorite colors! I could draw sea nymphs and creatures all day, every day and be a happy girl! I especially like my serpents.

Momo

I just wanted to brag about the cutest picture I think I've ever taken of my dog. I only wish I had taken it on my actual camera and not my phone. Oh well!

I also doodled this the other day and I don't think I posted it here.
