Thanks for sharing the story and the artwork. I'm an art teacher, and I paint mostly animals with added personality characteristics, so I always enjoy discovering a convergence! I did a quick check on Frederick in Wikipedia and the first image I found was hilarious to me. Especially because I'm in the final stages of writing my dissertation for an EdD in Art Ed!

There are so many things that I hate about social media, but one of the things I LOVE is seeing someone I know following something I'm just discovering... especially if it's super niche. Love your mermaid and her odd-looking fish.
