mermanonfire

Ask me anything   Merman trawls his net through a sea of images, and presents what he finds from precious pearls to the flotsam and jetsam that scintillates him regardless, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the sacred to the profane (and sometimes abject filth). Whilst the merman will frequently celebrate the beauty of the mermaidens, he has a strong predilection for his fellow mermen, of which you shall find many exquisite specimens here, amongst the other refined treasures that you may witness. Some of these mermen will have dispensed with the cockleshells that at other times hide their modesty in a moment of rapture and ravishment (ie NSFW on occasion). IT'S REALLY RATHER WONDERFUL WHEN PEOPLE IDENTIFY THE IMAGES THAT THEY POST.

Rupert Charles Wulsten Bunny (29 September 1864 – 25 May 1947)
Dolce farniente c1897 (Sweet idleness). Australian painter, born in St Kilda, Victoria. He achieved success and critical acclaim as an expatriate in fin-de-siècle Paris.
For example, he gained an honourable mention at the Paris Salon of 1890 with his painting Tritons and a bronze medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900 with his Burial of St Catherine of Alexandria.
The French state acquired 13 of his works for the Musée du Luxembourg and regional collections. He was a “sumptuous colourist and splendidly erudite painter of ideal themes, and the creator of the most ambitious Salon paintings produced by an Australian.
