Mischievous Mermaids

This one started out as a “Creepy Cryptids” design but I enjoyed drawing these gals so much I had to give them their own illustration.

Still want to draw the other cryptids some day though…

My niece is interested in joining the Fediverse ... Any smallish servers that might be of interest to her?

She likes things #psychic, #mediums, #tarot, #surfing, #acting, #theatre, #mermaids

Any suggestions?

Mermaids on the front of the former Dennistoun Baths Club on Craigpark in the East End of Glasgow. The baths opened in 1884 as a private members swimming and bathing club, and closed in 1983 before becoming a snooker club.

Found this on a walk on the #beach - what am i looking at? who recognizes this?
a #bone within a bone? #cetacean? #fish? #mammal ? #sealife #underwater

(
by age i am not a boy anymore, but on beach walks i still become all sand castles, #fantasy tales, #mermaids, pirates and such ...
)

Some paintings of Kaia that I did over the years. I love mermaids and I'm excited to make more paintings/drawings of them.

If an epic fantasy that marries cozy domestic fantasy with a byzantine plot involving wars between merkingdoms instigated by factions of a race of Cupids/Amors told through the POV of mermaids, sirens, and South East Asian women might just be your thing, do check out my debut novel, "Watermyth". "Watermyth" is the first book of a fantasy series, The Cantata of the Fourfold Realms, and is set on the isle of Yrejveree where exiles and immigrants from the Fourfold Realms find themselves building communities. Those communities are under threat because of the wars between the merkingdoms, and the factions of the Amors/Cupids (known as Fjekres).

I occasionally see articles and toots about #authors being arseholes and generally behaving badly.

So, as an antidote to that, I'd like to tell you a story about @clacksee being an excellent human being.

A while ago, she sent a message to her mailing list offering a large discount off any of her books when bought direct. I decided to use it to buy a couple of her books to use as prizes at the tombola that #Mermaids will be running at our local #Pride in June.
