The last time we saw The Merman, he was quite celebratory and gay; I guess all that decadent living has caught up with him.
From a series of watercolors based on the vintage toy line Masters of the Universe.
Signed and numbered prints of this piece are for sale on my Etsy account and my eBay account; Jadrian728
Sadly smashed and the only image I have of this ceramic piece .Merman was based on my son John Swift whose input on this piece was valuable on more than one level, a gifted artist himself he posed, and he prepared some of the clay too!
Hartlepool Museum's Merman - affectionately known as Herman - was originally believed to be made from dried monkey parts attached to a fishtail. However an x-ray has shown the upper torso to be artificial and modelled on wire, the teeth though, are real fish teeth.
These particular types of Mermen were known as "Feejee Mermaids" and were popular tourist souvenirs in the late 1800s and were traditionally made in East Asia

A fake creature claimed to be a "merman". Apaprently many wealthy people in the 1800s paid big money to collect these, well, monstrosities.

At the beginning I want to paint a pic of merpeople, but somehow I got carried away by a document about Siamese fighting fish......well let's say, he is a merpeople-Siamese fighting fish hybrid.^^
The hilarious Varla Jean Merman was the featured performer at this year Winter Rendezvous ski event at Stowe, Vermont. She is just amazing. Here are three shots of her during her show (left to right): singing 'I need a Fan' (parody of 'I need a Hero'), her tropical outfit, and the technique that made her famous - singing when shooting cheesewhiz into her mouth at the same time. God, I love her! LOL!

Standing on a rock overlooking Lake michigan on the point of Leelanau, MI I chanced to spot a mythological creature blending in.
I started the project with the little playmobil merman I call "Sireno". The idea was to use him and the other characters of the series for their own cuteness and/or around the water, sea, beach, aquatic... themes. But, I don't know why, these days I've felt like taking photos of my barbies instead of Sireno.
Really, I've been taking pics of any kind of toys instead of Sireno: little ponies, littlest pet shop, rabid...

Empecé este proyecto con el pequeño hombre sireno de playmobil que yo llamo "Sireno" (o Sirenito). La idea era usarle a él y a los otros muñequitos de la misma serie por sí mismos o sobre temas como el mar, el agua, la playa y similares. Pero sin saber por qué, en estos días me ha apetecido más usar mis barbies. En realidad he estado fotografiando todo tipo de juguetes excepto Sireno: pequeños ponies, little pet shop, rabid..
