GARDEN INITIATE is a series of portfolios featuring signed fine art prints of duo-tone and color illustrations from THE SPIDER GARDEN graphic novel series. Each collection of images spotlights a different character or aspect of life in the world of the Garden, a retro-futuristic environment dedicated to the pursuit of total pleasure. 
 
This new deluxe version of the GARDEN INITIATE portfolio series features improved image quality, heavier weight paper (matte & gloss finish Neenah Silk 90 lb. paper stock), an additional print with a textless version of the cover image, and a foldout envelope with full-color cover art and contents page on the back cover including image titles and detailed information about the subject of each illustration.
 
GARDEN INITIATE 04: HYDROPHIDIAN focuses on the aquatic domain of Squamata Serpentine, ruler of the Water Snake Clan and former lover of Shaalis the Sacred Androgyne. Contortionists with an inhuman degree of flexibility, Squamata and her incestuous twin sister Lichurna make a game of sexually tormenting their Tengu slave Gion while those humans unfortunate enough to have fallen into their clutches find themselves transformed into latex naiads, rubber-encased mermaids drifting helplessly in a state of endless rapture in the depths of Hydrophidian's blood-warm waters.
