Ok all kidding aside, MerMay is an online art challenge started by animator Tom Bancroft where you draw or paint a different mermaid piece for every day of May.

So at the end of the month, you will have 31 mermaids — hopefully. 

This challenge embraces the values of creativity, community and above all else …MERMAIDS!

Why Did I Do This Month-Long Challenge? I did this challenge back in May 2018 because a friend asked me to do the “Inktober” challenge with her one year and I really enjoyed it! I love mermaids, so this challenge was a perfect match for me. I enjoy the old stories of...
