Fan art piece

Nostalgic browse on tumblr and I found this Mermaid illustration from a few years ago - felt she was worth a repost for #mermay #mermay2025 #mermaid #cartoon #illustration #artsky #artistsofbluesky #sheffieldartist

Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? A more Disneyfied version of Cerberus than how I drew him in young Author Stan Gerson’s debut ‘Heracles and Nathan’. Available online from @candyjarbooks.bsky.social and in store from Victoria Bookshop Haverfordwest and Juno Books in Sheffield

There are a ton of jobs I should be doing today, but sitting in the garden, enjoying the sunshine, and reading the wonderful historical fantasy ‘A Restless Truth’ by @freyamarske.bsky.social won out in the end. #booksky #booklover #bookloversofbluesky
