good eye! Because I based it on his work The Great Wave off Kanagawa

Wahoo! It sticks in my mind because my husband wanted that as a detailed back piece, but I think he’s moved on to individual work by certain tattoo artists.
He does have excellent pieces, though. No “regret” tattoos.

Cute bear! What’s the background made with? It looks like small wispy clouds or dabs of something.

That bear looks like he is relaxing on the
grass finding his calm and happy place.

The reverence on his face is killing me.

Thanks, everyone! 
@Kwality570 — I’m glad you enjoyed it! 
@irid3sc3nt — It’s alcohol marker swirled around to give it a texture of either sky or foliage. 
@megwell — its for the coffee!

@fluffypants I’m so glad that you reminded me of Katamari Damacy. There’s a free trial for the next 3 or 4 days on the Switch! Then it’s 85% off! I never got to play the original so it’s been fun playing this. I’ve been fascinated by it for a while. The graphics remind me of Chibi Robo… I think that was an N64 game? It made me laugh that the King’s voice is scratching.

I received two ATCs this week!
Here is my hearts and polka dots theme from @geekgirl
It’s so cute! It’s going up on my mantle for Valentine’s month. The little Xs in some of the circles totally reminds me of early X-Men cartoons. Dang I really wanted Rogue and Gambit to get together.
She also sent kitty stickers and this notecard that looks like it came from a handmade masterboard or gelli plate. The envelope is really pretty, too!
@Juju sent my valentine theme in the form of this assemblage. And look it has a teeny postcard! I try not to touch it, but I love the different materials & textures on it.
I think our post offices are in a battle because it always takes about two or more weeks to get mail from one to the other. It’s nuts. I got a media mail box of books yesterday from two states away that was sent Friday. But a letter with more than enough postage? Nope.
I’m thinking about just buying the non-machinable butterfly stamps and calling it a day. My first class stamp+additional ounce stamp doesn’t seem to be cutting the mustard. /rant
Thank you very much for my ATCs!

The background is fantastic on your card…very “sea” like…love the many patterns and colors. Perfect for framing the cute manatee!

Yes, how was the background created?

Thanks AIMR and irid3sc3nt! That was a masterboard I made for a swap. (Kept a small scrap for myself.) It had a smeared-ink base, then layers of stamping, gel pen lines, spray inks and glitter mist, with a few bubbles drawn with a fine-tip marker for good measure.
