Black moor...

... or black telescope, it's the common black goldfish you can see more or less in every fishtank: here there is my Mermay 20, this elegant curvy beaury ready for a prom.

Muraena helena

My mermay 19, inspired by a picture on one of my father's books where, as I child, I used to see the 'smiling fish' Muraena helena

Physalia physalis mermaid

Latley Physalia physalis is always in the news because of an invasion she is doing of the southern Spain coasts, so it came naturally to me to draw a Physalia physalis medmaid as a MerMay day 17.

MerMay 11 Steampunk Periophthalmus argentilineatus

Periophthalmus argentilineatus is a little fish a.k.a mudskipper because of its habit of go out the water and spend some time in the mud. For this peculiar fish I imagined a steampunk mermaid and drawed it in crayons, pantone, and coffee spreaded by a make-up brush since in my new home I didn't brought my watercolour brushes at the moment.

Higher Ground

The day after, I'm definitely still in Eurovision Songs Contest hangover. I loved particularly Denmark's song, performed by Rasmussen (but hey: Austria, Italy, Hungary and Moldova you're in my heart too), and I couldn't help drawing a quick viking themed sketch.

Here there is my trubute all in pantone and ball-point pen to Higer Ground (if you click on the name, you can listen to the song).







Dancing betta splendend

Today my MerMay 10 is setted in Cambodia: a betta splendens siren drawed in pantone like a Cambodian dancer.

Tribute to Galicia: Octopus Mermaid

The today marmaid is a tribute to the land that is my new home: Galicia, where eating octopus is pretty common.

Here there is my Octopus vulgaris mermaid for MerMay day 9



Underwater funk - MerMay 8

Slowly I'm catching up the date. Here there is my MerMay number 8: the Poecilia reticulata mermaid a.k.a. lebistes or guppy: the funky mermaid.

Free your mind...

Hello Mr. Mom - MerMay 6



From wiki: "The male seahorse is equipped with a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the egg until the seahorses emerge fully developed"

MerMay part 1

Contrary to whatever is wise for a person with a handful of deadlines getting closer, I decided to take part to MerMay 2018.
Of course I'm a bit late, but I'm forcing myself to recoup the time lost, even if, at the moment, I just have 4 sketch out of 8 that should be today.
Since I was in need of a theme to get inspiration, I decided that to me this one is the 'strange fishes' mermaids month too.
At the end of the month I think I'll choose 12 of them to deisgn as proper illustrations.
But, for the moment, here there are my first 4 strange mermaids.
