5 out of 5 starsThe Fishy Gentleman is another amazing artwork from Drakula Approved. This beautiful piece is amazing on many levels. The framed original artwork is sealed under resin to look as if still under water. It shimmers under the the light. There are even simulated water drops on the ornate frame that glistens and harkens back to an ageless past under the sea. The crystal drops at the very bottom add to this awesome effect. All together, the Fishy Gentleman comes to fantastic life. The picture proves how happy he was living in Innsmouth, MA. He is bubbling over with good cheer.
Thank you for another wonderful buying experience. -

Custom and personalised orders
If you like a certain piece but would like something custom made for you, please send me a private message explaining what you would like and I will let you know if it's something I can make and how long it would take. If it's all good and payment is sent, I will make the order and post it tracked, but please note that for some items processing time might be delayed depending on what supplies I need to order and how long they take to arrive.
Sizing details
If you desire a certain length for a chain or necklace, I am happy to shorten or add length to what I have available.
Please let me know if you have an allergy to any kind of metal - if you send me a message I can let you know if I can replace metal parts with alternatives.
This might also involve a longer processing time if I need to order certain supplies, but if you don't mind waiting I will gladly find an alternative for you.
Care instructions
My artwork is usually glued to a frame and covered in glass or resin so it is waterproof. That being said, I have quite a few pieces made with lace or fabrics and I wouldn't recommend getting them very wet. They should be stored in a cool dry place, so please keep away from damp areas.
Please avoid scratching glass/resin that protects the artwork, so please don't store right next to anything with sharp corners/edges.
Creating the artwork.
Each painted piece is one of a kind, painted by hand, and although I use reference images for the anatomy of animals, skulls, etc., the overall image and design is from my imagination.
