Emerald Mermaid, Tony Fitzpatrick, etching with color aquatint, 11.5" x 14" framed. "As proud as I am of my Irish heritage, I will admit that we believe in some pretty goofy shit. We are fishermen from way back and believe in any number of aquatic phantasms -- nymphs, Jenny-Linds, Selkies, sea serpents and many other manifestations of floating apparitions. Mermaids are the killers though. They are beautiful and imperiled, and many a Mick dipshit has dove overboard to 'save' one clinging to a rock only to find that by the time he gets to her after fighting off a rolling sea, she actually looks like Don Knotts with tits. I decided to make a Chicago Mermaid, a blues girl. Who wouldn't do you like that. Who wouldn't hide her beauty. No. . .she would save you with the blues in shades of blue and green and velvety black."
