Let's Cuttle.

My grandfather loved mermaids. He collected them. Not real ones, mind you, just images of mermaids. I’ve always kinda liked them too.  Especially the scary ones. Like the ones in that Harry Potter movie...or better yet, have you seen Peter Pan with Jason Issacs? Because you should. Them’s some spooky fish!

Anyway, this one is no spooky fish girl. Let’s Cuttle:

WiP.

WIP is a radio station in the Philadelphia area. It is also the common abbreviation “works in progress.”

Works in progress are always a problem. I want to show them off, and in some instances, get some advice. But I also know they aren’t yet finished and I am not ready for any criticism concerning them. Do you show them or play it close to the vest? Well, I guess in this case, I’ll show you what I have.

These are some of my WiPs this week.

This cutie is actually a mermaid, which you would know if I was willing to show you the whole thing. I’m not. So there. She’s titled “Let's Cuttle” because, as you can see, she’s wearing a cuttle fish for a hat. Is it a cheap gag. Oh yes, yes it is. Do I love that cheap gag? Oh yes. Yes I  do.

And here is a lovely French lady. When complete she will be framed in gilt and standing before a damask papered wall...when complete.

Both these girlies will be in my next little collection of pin up girls, which I hope to have ready for San Diego Comic Con. Hope is the operative word.
