No idea what is in the book she is reading.

My idea for this was as part of a larger sea-scape, but that never happened. I still can't colour well, but I like how the line art come out. I was aiming for the style of a Medieval European manuscript, and I think it comes close to that.

It does look like an old wood cut-nice job. Does raise the question however- what would a mermaid read? Old Man and the Sea, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Moby ****, or perhaps even a tome on Mathematics? If the latter, perhaps she should be wearing an Algae-bra.1

Sorry, It seems to have edited the title of the famous Melville book- The strict anti-profanity editing even removes words like pea**** and ****atoo.You have to say "peafowl" (which we used to raise) Or misspell cocatoo. i wasn’t swearing at you, honestly.1

:-) AJ Gray replies: "Thanks for the explanation. I thought it meant Moby wildcard, or something like that. D’oh."
