What the...? Mermaid on bike?

I made this picture for Illustration Friday Challenge few weeks ago. The word was: Wheels. And to be honest, a bike was my first idea. I wanted to draw bicycle, but I needed very characteristic person or creature to ride on it. Mermaid wasn't my first thought, but I said to myself - hey! even mermaid, with no legs should be able to enjoy riding a bicycle. And that's how this little siren was born:)

The mermaid is not typical one. Purple curly hair, glasses and kid of hipster/geek/nerd style. Definitely book worm or history teacher. Even I'm not entirely sure but generally you get an idea:) For sure she is totally opposite to normal mermaid look we all used to.

After I published it on my personal blog, I decide That this illustration is so nice, that I could include it to my Zazzle Store. So from now on it's available to buy on t-shirts, mugs, bags, Iphone 5 cases, Android Cases, and many more. Check all here. And take a look at her below:)

This could be perfect gift for all mermaid lovers and bike users as well. Perfect combination!

Beautiful Mermaids

Probably everybody read classic fairy tale or just saw famous animation movie “Little Mermaid”. Simple but sad story about love between mermaid princess and human prince. They can’t live with each other. Mermaid doesn’t have legs and the price can’t live under water.

This fairy tale realized me something. Mermaids aren’t vicious and dangerous creatures that lure lost sailors and feed on them. They became part of modern pop culture as sweet, cute, beautiful with kind and gentle hearts. Full of love and respect for everyone.

That’s why I decide to draw this picture. Red hair mermaid hugging little colourful fish. She represents exactly what I mentioned. Simple kindness and love. Cute and sweet being.

I made her special place in my Like It Zazzle Store, for everyone who likes fairy tales and fairy tale and fantasy creatures like this gorgeous mermaid. So far I have here only mermaid, but I have very ambitious plans to expand (so many ideas and illustrations, and so little time!) on other tales and fantastic places or animals.

I must say I’m very proud of this little adorable design and my customer must like it also, because it is selling very well. Popular products like t-shirts, ceramic tiles, iPhone covers are the bestsellers. Check whole mermaid offer here. Below as always I chose for You some exemplar products.
