rs0662 - Dream'mi

Dream'mi is an anagram, literally and figuratively. I am not the first one, by any means, to come up with a backwards mermaid. René Magritte painted a woman with a fish head, and I've even seen a rubber stamp version of his design someplace. Legend goes back as far as the ancient Mesopotamian sea, where 6000 years ago a man-fish called Oannes came out and taught the Sumerians how to read and write. The human half of my design is based on a drawing of a female nude from one of my life drawing sessions; I like how her ribs become the fish's gills.
