A man o'war mermaid for the last day of MerMay! I did not enjoy painting all of those dots.

In 1842, American promoter and showman P. T. Barnum, introduced his first major hoax: a creature with the body of a monkey and the tail of a fish known as the "Feejee" mermaid. By the time Barnum was exhibiting the ‘mermaid’, it already had had a long life, and mythology. In one version of its origin, in 1822 an American captain named Samuel Barrett Eades rescued the crew of a Dutch merchant ship, aboard the ship was the mermaid, the Dutch had bought it from Japanese sailors, who claimed they had caught it. Eades bought the mermaid from the Dutch, and took it to England, where he set up a display in a London coffeehouse, naming it the "Remarkable Stuffed Mermaid"; where it was an instant success, the entrance fee of a one shilling happily paid. For the next 20 years the mermaid vanishes from history until it reappears again in the early 1840’s, where it is bought from Eades son by Moses Kimball, the proprietor of the Boston Museum; and friend of P.T. Barnum. Two years later in July 1842, newspapers announced the arrival in New York of Dr. J. Griffin, a member of the British Lyceum of Natural History, who had brought a mermaid which was caught in the Feejee Islands in the South Pacific, to be shown to the press. Of course the mermaid was the same one bought by Kimball, and Dr. J. Griffin, and the British Lyceum of Natural History, were both inventions of Barnum’s in order to create a spectacle for his exhibition of the mermaid. All images are based upon historical depictions of mermaids from the 16th century to Barnum’s exhibition in the 1840’s. They are for sale on the mythology section of the website. www.ofgraveconcern.com/mythololgy Follow @ofgraveconcern for a new macabre tale every Monday, and posts throughout the week of the gothic, strange and macabre. #barnumandbailey #barnum #phineastaylorbarnum #hoax #feejeemermaid #mermaidart #mermaidartwork #mermaidartist #coffeehouses #bostonmuseum #naturalhistory #naturalhistorymuseum #cryptid #cryptids #macabrehistory #mermaidhistory #interestingfacts #historylovers #circus #merman #mermaid #museum #interestingfinds #interestingarts #ofgraveconcern #ptbarnum #feejee #folklore #folkloreart #historical https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2oIbpHh9W/?igshid=1mhok3crjmy7b

LOOK at this darling duo I just received from @ikigaicreations! 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️ They have their zodiac mermaid pins out at the moment and I fell in love with these Gemini ♊ mers, despite being a Leo ♌ myself! I collect a few different pins but I was so taken by how delicate and detailed these beauties are. This is definitely one that is going to be on high rotation. Please check out @ikigaicreations Instagram profile page. Their work is so delightful and I'm in love with how beautifully they curate their posts. Everything flows together in such a unique and thought-out way. I really appreciate artists who bring something special to how they share their work on social media. Also they have MERMAN 🧜‍♂️ designs coming too. I'm a bit obsessed! #mermaidpins #mermaidpin #mermaidart #mermaidartist #geminimermaid #pinartist #mermaidfriends #zodiacmermaid #mermaidillustration #mermaidlove #mermaidinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/B4zHY05hNxa/?igshid=1lsdvva0tf5wc

“Searching” is now framed and up on Every Day Original Gallery. http://www.everydayoriginal.com/product/searching/
Our little mermaid searches for tiny bones of the creatures that live in the world above her ocean home. She may have found a new one for her growing collection.
One of many drawing concepts for my Little Mermaid book launching on Kickstarter June 1st.

When I realized that I hadn’t posted this final version of the Venus painting I made during @lucychenfineart ‘s Goddess painting class, I was really surprised because I was happy that my what I learned translated to this outcome. So, even though Mermay 2019 is technically over, mermaids never truly leave my heart; here is Venus, born of the sea. #mermay #mermay2019 #art #goddessart #acrylicpainting #aphrodite #Artist #goddess #goddessportrait #whimsy #Pittsburghartist #ArtistsonInstagram #ArtistsofInstagram #ArtistsofPittsburgh #artistslife #mermaidartist #mermaidart #divinefeminine #redhead #Pittsburghhandmade #HandmadePittsburgh #artistsoffacebook #artistsonfacebook #MadeinPittsburgh #artplay #venus #creativity #creativelife https://www.instagram.com/p/Byl6bFUAmXj/?igshid=14hnh6pwaw9f4

Mermaid of Ice
A digital artwork of one of my mermaid characters.  When I did this it was way overdue.  I kept making snippets of her such as the one of her painting a picture of herself.
If you like this one and want to see more, you can go to instagram: @mythicalartistx
