Sink or Swim

This is a piece I finished last week. I initially drew it in pencil, then inked it with a brush pen, then scanned it and edited it. I plan on turning it into a T-shirt if that becomes a possibility.
The poem around the outside reads 'There is a ship and she sails the sea, She is as deep, as deep as can be. But not as deep as the love I'm in. I know not if I sink or swim.' This is a verse from a welsh nautical poem. There are three verses and I'm not sure yet if I'm going to illustrate all three.
I really adore this image. Please don't steal it for your own use, or I'll throw a tantrum.
