Mermaid Burger - Illustration/Graphic for Handplanes

Today I sat down and worked out a design I'd been planning for a while. I wanted to design a mermaid holding a cheese burger. I do a lot of surfing and my surf buddy and I had come up with a legend of the mermaid burger. Essentially, the burger mermaid preys upon hungry surfers when they are finished with their sessions. I also want to use this graphic on the new wood handplanes I've been shaping. Folks use them to body surf with. It gives you extra lift while your flying down the face of the wave. Here's a sample pic of the graphic as well as a guy handplaning. Pretty cool, right?

I've been doing a lot of freelance work which is cutting into my personal sketch and art time. I hope to have some more art for you soon, but paying the bills is certainly a huge perk at the moment!

Like the werewhale, the burger mermaid's legend spreads across the globe to many mariners. You never know when they will catch you under their spell.

Some guy handplaning somewhere. Typically you only use one handplane. This guy has two! Big waves.
