What exactly is this? Well I don't know exactly. A friend of mine saw it left on my work-bench just after I sculpted it and said "WOW! look what the sea washed up today! A mer-male" Thats when I knew that it's casts were going straight on ebay to get washed up in post offices all around the world until that point I had being playing around.
I dont know very much about mermaids. Only that the regular mermaid was a female ancient greek mythological creature that has kept an undefined place as some kind of a modern lifestyle diva celeb. No one really knows what mermaids do, apart from swimming around half naked. And they're still famous for that! just for that!? I realised that there must be room for competition in Mermalia.
It also popped into my head that theres probably a little more room in the hall of fame of all-time mutated humanoids so this is my small contribution to modern mythology and humanity. THE MERMALE
Before I performed uncle frankenstein's surgery tactics the upper half of this pendant was a male torso prototype which I had carved a couple of summers back on a beach out of carving wax using a small blade (to carve) and lots of sunscreen. (From time to time I auction those torsos on ebay). I actually cut-pasted the bottom half recently from a dolphin bracelet for a laugh and realised that its actually quite a conversation piece. Ok its not a Van Cleef and Arpels classic but you must admit that you've never seen anything even remotely like it before!
The mermale, 'hung out to dry..'
