The Penguin Book of Mermaids, edited by Cristina Bacchilega and Marie Alohalani Brown.

“...a treasury of such tales about merfolk and water spirits from different cultures, ranging from Scottish selkies to Hindu water-serpents to Chilean sea fairies. A third of the selections are published here in English for the first time, and all are accompanied by commentary that explores their undercurrents, showing us how public perceptions of this popular mythical hybrid–at once a human and a fish–illuminate issues of gender, spirituality, ecology, and sexuality.“

Cover art from Boris Messerer's set design for a 1976 ballet.

It’s finally done. I’ve wanted to redo the oldversion since… basically since I drew it.

Inspired by that post going around about mermaids being women who were supposed to drown.

Mermaid

The low tide revealed something strange. Something the fishermen had never seen before. Something that should not be there, something that was not from this world. Something dangerous but beautiful.
