Mermaids

(tags Disney, art, Pop)

Ariel sitting on the rock coming out of the sea did me in. Brushing her hair and winking at her prince. Disney's The Little Mermaid. I still don't have the DVD though. Perhaps I'm waiting for the Blu-ray?

From the blog of The Art (and random adventures) of Eric Tan, comes this stunning poster art. It was commissioned for the recent hardcover book The Art of the Disney Princess. (ISBN-13: 9781423123712)

This release reminds me of Pop-sensei picture book take on the original story, Pop Wonderland Ningyo Hime Little Mermaid (POP WONDERLAND にんぎょひめ, ISBN-13 978-4-591-10603-7) from last year. Unfortunately the retold story follows the original too closely and is depressing.
