Are you going to have this print (and Under the Sea) available for purchase? I wouldn't be able to afford an original, but I would love to purchase a print.

Hi, thanks for your interest in my work. About prints, no for the time being, but you can buy a calendar (2013) that includes both images plus many more. Some people buy them and after the year is over, they cut the pages and frame them

you can have a look at my web site:

If you found a hidden city under the ocean, that would be the kind of art you also finds out there.

Nice work and a nice deviation from the usual nouveau colors. The Greco-Roman mosaic also looks nice and is a good mixture with the nouveau.

One suggestion: fade the copyright notice on a separate layer in Photoshop so it does not detract so much from the work itself but still protects it. I have a few examples in my gallery.
