the SF papercut challenge!
This design was inspired by Matisse's papercut work. After his health failed and he could no longer paint French artist Matisse (1869-1954) cut shapes from painted paper and arranged them into works of art. The blue nudes were a series of lithographs made from his cutouts. The blue mermaids in this print were drawn to look similar to two of Matisse's nudes but as mermaids. Other elements were digitally 'cut out' in a style similar to that of Matisse.
