Seller's description

Cute watercolor-style illustration of a sleepy teal sea creature in a striped lavender nightcap, hugging a pillow on a mossy sunken stone ruin with swaying seaweed: "Five more aeons. Then I'll get up." Inspired by a classic 1928 weird-fiction short story.

A funny, cute Deep Sea Dreamer gift for a science teacher, English teacher or anyone who loves classic science fiction.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
A classic 1928 weird-fiction story imagines a vast sea creature asleep for ages in a sunken city, waiting to wake. This one would like a few more aeons first.

Great for nap lovers, weird-fiction readers, snooze-alarm champions, lazy Sundays and slow weekend mornings. A cute gift for anyone who plans to get up eventually. Just not yet.

Deep under the sea, on top of a mossy stone ruin, a small teal dreamer with tiny wings has pulled on a striped nightcap and hugged a lavender pillow. It has been asleep for a very long time and has no plans to stop. The watercolor-style illustration uses soft teal, lavender and moss green. A soft, not-scary shirt for sleepyheads, weekend nappers and fans of old weird tales.
