I have had people ask many times where they could get or see what prints I have available to sell, which in general if you see anything posted on this page that you like it is available for purchase! Sometimes you may have to message me and order personally but it my also be on this Online Print Shop of mine! I just wanted to share the fun Snail Mafia work I have published and at the end you can even get a look at the super affordable price list! Support real local artists is soooooo important right now - and truly any profit I make from these prints goes right back into the art you all enjoy and the care for the snails to keep them happy and healthy. ❤️

Please like, share, comment to help boost this with your friends and family - I appreciate dearly 🙏🏻

If you didn’t know, forget me nots are my favorite flower. Why is it? Sure they’re beautiful with in their small size and simplicity but it is also heavily influenced by their lore, what they stand for.

I find photography to be so deeply important and necessary in our life time because of how easily we can forget. Forget me nots revolve around love and remembering.

A medieval German or French legend tells of a knight and his lady walking along the Danube River. The knight, weighed down by armor, fell while picking the flowers, throwing them to her and shouting the name as his final act. Perhaps you know them better by medieval times, when women wore the flower to signify faithfulness and enduring love. Today, the flower is widely adopted by Alzheimer’s societies to represent memory loss and the need for remembrance.

I love photography so much for its power to defy the laws of time, by allowing us to freeze any moment we choose in time for ever and giving us the power to always remember what we find most important through our life time. I feel that my love for both photography and forger me nots simply go hand in hand. I hope maybe this little message gave you a reason to love them too. ❤️🙏🏻

I honestly wasn’t sure where all I could share these since when it comes to the snails, the only account I have for specifically my snail work is on TikTok. I just am so happy when I look back on these comments that I wanted to share them else where.

These are some of my favorite comments I have received on TheSnailMafia account over on TikTok.

These comments remind me how everything I am working hard to create, to bring to life, is worth it. Just to know that what I create brings anyone a little bit of joy or makes anyone smile truly makes it all worth it.

Any support helps so much for every artist. If you have something nice to say, always make sure you say it. If you have a little bit of extra cash, buy an artists work, remind them they’re worth it. Your support no matter how big or small can be the reason that kept that little Artist fighting forward. 🙏🏻
