following up to my original post for “vostok” (the antarctic mermaid and the pinned post—the dtiys for that goes all the way to may 1, too!), i give you my prompts for mermay around the world. i tried to get all the continents—it’s tricky here with the states because we’re such a melting pot of cultures and dialects, so i picked two of the cities i can readily represent through art (i was going to use new orleans or nashville but i’m slightly more drawn to vegas and hawai’i).

this is inspired by three things:

planetary coalition (the obvious one).

some time ago, i was looking into art of the middle east, namely israel and iran (before the revolution of 1979, of course) and feeling enamored by it all.

the third thing that inspired it was thinking about east asian art and how i’ve always been drawn to it. i don’t know how my mind jumped to it but i thought about angkor wat and block paintings of temples in southeast asia, and my mind being the rocket it is went from there.

***i also don’t want to hear any objections to tel aviv and kiev being on here. if you don’t like it, do your own or use someone else’s list.

i’m dropping these now to give plenty of time to study the art and culture of each city. i’d rather let people be influenced and inspired than appropriate 😉
