Original artwork description:

Christmas is coming, and this is an opportunity to own one of my characters from Egg Island. Also, with the painting, I will send a signed copy of my book Egg Island. 

Nola an elegant lady with an egg face, honey skin, and long black hair, about 155 cm tall.
Nola said, “Hello, nice to meet you.” “And this is my son, Sabo.” A tall and thin boy, the same as his father, aged around 13–14, with tan skin, wavy hair, shoulder-length, and a confident look. Sabo said, “Hi.” “My daughter, Sumi.” A little girl, 8–9 years old, petite, with beautiful skin and long black hair like her mother; Sumi waved.

Sumi asked Captain Thomas, “What is that?” Pointing to his nose. Captain replied in a tender tone, “It’s called a nose, and it lets me breathe and smell things.” “Mother,” Sumi said. “Why don’t we have a nose, like them?”

“Sumi, every creature is different; octopuses and dolphins are different. But they can live in the same sea,” Nola explained to Sumi. Sumi giggled.
