The Virgin Mermaid
I did a Mermaid series back in 2012. When I went to St. John in the US Virgin Islands in June I was inspired to draw a mermaid again after going snorkeling in the clear blue waters and meeting one.
The Mermaid knew who I was, which I found funny. She said that I am very famous in the mermaid world because of the very accurate drawings I have been doing of mermaids over the past years. She said my Arctic Mermaid drawing was particularly accurate.
Yes, she is a virgin, which she said is a source of endless jokes since she is named Virginia and is from the Virgin Islands. She is tired of the jokes and wants to find a nice Merman to settle down with. She also said red is not her natural hair color, that she swims within the red coral to get it to that hue.
