It's Mermay!

For several years, artists have been posting pictures of mermaids every day in the month of May in observance of MerMay. This tradition was originated by veteran animator and illustrator Tom Bancroft to encourage young artists to hone their skills and share their work.

We're going to kinda-sorta take part in MerMay this year, with each Picture Perfect Wednesday this month spotlighting Chicks of the Sea!

We're kicking things off with Ann Blyth in a couple of promotional photos for "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid". (We may even get around to posting a review of that film later this month.)

Here's a vaguely sea-related song to get the month started right. (Maybe we'll post a song every Wednesday, too, if we find ones that are appropriate!)
