California Dream'mi-'in

Everybody assumes that a mermaid has the top of a girl and the bottom of a fish. but who says it can't be the other way around? René Magritte painted a woman with a fish head. But who wants to kiss a fish-head?



Dream'mi is an anagram, literally and figuratively- it's a backwards mermaid. 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.

This one is actually a Meer Image fine art rubber stamp designed and made by Steven Vander Meer in Arcata, California
