I'm looking for some pictures or any kind of artwork of mermaids. I'm NOT looking for cartoons, or anime. I saw some very "artsy" beautiful drawings once on a site, but cannot remember where it was. I'm especially interested in pictures of a mermaid with a human man. If you have any links or any site names I'd appreciate it.

I dont know of any art or pictures but Mermaids were first discovered by Thom Yorke, the famous sailor, in 1985. He was sailing around the Cape of Good Hope, and saw what appeared to be "a wommyyn, of about a score of ayge, of most pleasing apeerynce with the tayl of a fysshe". Upon demanding a closer look, he sailed his ship, Sharon, nearer to the mermaid. On closer inspection, the mermaid was invisible, and had been for some time. Due to his lack of evidence, it has been alledged that Yorke was a "tosser" and a "charlatan".

Further mermaid sightings were seen in 1988 by Allan Ahlberg, and in 1991 by Colin Powell, but it wasn't until 1998 that photographic evidence was obtained and the world opened up to the reality that the seas really did contain mermaids, although even today that remains controversial.

Thom Yorke's son, Bjork came up with the word 'Mermaid', after his father told him the story the night he returned from his trip on the rough seas of the Caribbean.

Mermaid and human man? The movie poster for "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid." You can purchase it online by just searching under that movie name. My mom did.
