              Hey guys! Love seeing all of the amazing submissions so far, can't wait to see the rest at the end of the month! Mine is a take on what Mer-Pirates might look like and inspired a book idea that I'm in the very beginning stages of developing. So here's one of the illustrations, can't wait to hear your thoughts!

                    I have added the poem Alone, by E.A. Poe to the spread, to add to my website, but I didn't want to clog up this thread so here is the link if you want to see that.

                            I deleted my first one and am entering this one. Special thanks to @Aleksey for the inspiration and the fun. I hope you enjoy this one.

                            Where do Merpeople go when they retire? Why Sunny Florida of course!

                              Hi guys, such nice pieces all here!! Love so many of them!

                              Here is my little mermaid, having a picnic, chilling, with her crab admirer (is that how you write it).

                                        @Maureen I´ve got a similar idea!, It´s just so sad when the first thing that pops in our heads when we think about ocean is plastic...

                                            @Pilonya It is sad. Who would have thought that 50 years ago? So many emotions about the problem, from the sympathy your mermaid shows to the turtle to the anger my mermaid feels.
