The mermaids are eager to hug the diver and can't wait for their turn

165. Erika Brånäng

Erika (aka werewolf) drew this amazing and cool "Furry mermaid" at Sörängen!

164. Björn Ranelid

We (our class at Sörängen) went to see Björn Ranelid, a poetic controversial author of many books, with the talent of speaking. He has recieved many awards. Afterwards he would write autographs for those who wanted one, so I asked for a mermaid instead. He thought it was a neat idea, and there was no problem with being in the future eventual book/blog.. because he, as he said, is a man of his word and that you have to stand up for what's yours. I absolutely love his handwriting and how it continues into the mermaid. You can find his website here.

163. Per Grunditz

Another amazing mermaid, by Per, a student at the school. You can find his blog here

162. Nina Thorgeirsdottir

Nina drew this amazing mermaid at sörängen, where she teaches. A colorful mermaid with golden hair.. and the colors are so soft. She taught us about symbols in art, their history. "Good luck in life little mermaid" she wrote to me.   

160. Mattias Fyhr

Mattias Fyhr thought the other way around when he drew his mermaid! He researches about gothic literature that inspires his own writing, for example "De mörka labyrinterna" and "Död men drömmande" about HP Lovecraft.

154. Elise Fogelström

This one has a funny story behind it! While studying in Nässjö I spent alot of time on the train, to get home and so on. One day I started to notice that many people are drawing while on the train.. so, I said to myself, that one day I will ask a complete stranger to draw a mermaid! Scary huh?

One day this kind of person sat right beside me, a girl who drew manga in a sketchbook. And I got so nervous! She was listening to music as well, and I was afraid to ask her. When it was only half an hour left before my stop... I thought: now or never! So I asked her! She looked a bit puzzled at first, but was then flattered. She happily drew a mermaid for me, an adorable manga mermaid! I drew an eye for her in return, and you can find her deviantart here. We're both from Scania, and both studying in Småland (Eksjö - Nässjö) what a coincidence!  We later got to meet again! We both had animation in school, so she watched my movie and I watched hers. We're still in touch today! Even though we were complete strangers to begin with. (Awesome)
