I put a lot of work into creating some really groovy tattoos for Mari and Nari, but then decided they looked better without any ink. Time well spent!

And as for those other background paintings, no those aren't mine. They were both made by legendary Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai in the nineteenth century. The one of the chick getting it on with an octopus is The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (1814), and the one of the two chicks lezzing out is an illustration from Manpoku Wago-Jin (1821).
