Continuing with the mermaid theme, back in 2009 I started my first (and only) venture into ATC/ACEO cards thanks to @Blahmage . What started as only two cards turned into a whole series of basically illustrations for the fairytale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen.

The first three are about the mermaid fantasizing about the world of humans, seeing the prince's ship and saving the prince from the shipwreck.

Despite the obvious superiority of fiber, America has been *very* slow to adopt it. Our monopolistic carriers act as though pulling fiber to our homes is an impossible challenge. All those wires that *currently* go to your house, from power-lines to copper phone-lines, are relics of a mysterious, fallen civilization and its long-lost arts. Apparently we could no more get a new wire to your house than we could build the pyramids using only hand-tools.
