Yes, i did paint this myself, its acrylics on cloth. No, it is not mounted. It can be placed in a frame however. Yes, I can ship to the states and it's 250SBD with priority shipping included. This is just an estimate however, based on the plummet of the SBD in today's market. By the time your contest is over it may be back up so the price should be less. The painting is listed as $400 on my etsy page, so the estimate includes conversion costs as well. Its dimensions are 19.8" × 15". Also, thank you for the considering my piece! ✌🐵
