Ever since I was a child, I held a strange fascination with mermaids. I remember watching an old cartoon on my grandmother's cable television called, "Marine Boy" about the adventures of a boy and his friends, a mermaid named "Neptina" and her dolphin, companion Splasher. I would sit on the floor and actually draw these characters while I watched the show. Oddly enough, I used to do the same thing while watching "The Flintstones." LOL!
