Expectations vs Reality

£110.00

A wry, tongue-in-cheek take on the age-old fairytale promise, this original illustration captures the moment after the magic fails to happen. Instead of a prince, we’re left with something far more familiar—comfortably slouched, a little worse for wear, and unapologetically unchanged. With subtle humor and a touch of melancholy, this piece reflects the reality behind romantic expectations.

- Created using inks and Polychromos pencils

"I am the proud owner of a beautiful whale print of Dominics and it's surely not my last piece of art from him. It arrived very quickly, following great communication. It was well packaged and was even more stunning in real life than in the photo. Fantastic quality paper and print! I love looking at it every day. Can't wait to pick my next piece!"
