Mermaids Don't Fart - Mermaid Influencers' Portraits

Updated: Aug 2

. . . We're making big waves and catching the attention of some BIG NAMES! 


If you've seen the Netflix documentary Merpeople, you know about Mermaid Sparkles!

Mermaid Sparkles of Netflix Merpeople featured in the book Mermaids Don't Fart

Landlocked in Arkansas, this mermaid left home to pursue her dream of joining the elite Circus Siren Pod to perform in Vegas and around the country.


When I approached Mermaid Sparkles about a cameo in Mermaids Don't Fart, she was excited for the opportunity!


Alvin Adhi created this beautiful mermaid portrait of Mermaid Sparkles and she appears in the picture book Mermaids Don't Fart!

Alvin uses a cute caricature style to capture Mermaid Sparkles' radiance. In the book, Mermaid Sparkles is helping out a turtle on the reef alongside her little mer-friends.

World famous free diver Brandee the Vero Beach Mermaid is also joining the mermaids on the pages of Mermaids Don't Fart! 

Brandee Anthony the Vero Beach Mermaid is in the book Mermaids Don't Fart

Brandee Anthony of Vero Beach, Florida is a mermaid dive instructor and a PADI ambassador, as well as a talented performer, free diver, and photographer. She shared in her Instagram stories that she is looking forward to the book!

In the book Mermaids Don't Fart, Brandee the Vero Beach Mermaid is helping some dolphins, showing them which way to go on a busy afternoon on Mermaid Reef.

Miss Luna Marie is a well-known underwater model and mermaid pageant winner, as well as a small business owner (Check out her rad clothing and accessories: crescentcreepers.com). She is the reigning Mermaid Queen of the Seas and also featured in the Netflix documentary MerPeople.


She loved the idea of Mermaids Don't Fart and shared this mer-mazing reel with her 117,000 followers on Instagram:

Here's the custom portrait created for Miss Luna Marie by Alvin Adhi, illustrator of Mermaids Don't Fart and all the Mermaid Reef books:

Alvin's unique artwork captures her beauty and her caring nature!


In picture book Mermaids Don't Fart, The Queen of the Seas Luna Marie is tasting one of Eel's kelp smoothies, and gives us a wink to show she approves.


Fun book detail: Eel makes a big picnic lunch for a group of mermaids and mermen, and "not one little mermaid goes pootie-tah-toot!"


 

The final mermaid influencer who shared our book on social media is the gloriously talented underwater model Abbey The Everyday Mermaid.

Abby didn't get her request to us in time to be in the book, but Alvin still created a beautiful illustration of Abbey Blake The Everyday Mermaid for our stickers and to show appreciation for her sharing Mermaids Don't Fart on her social media.


All four of these mermaid influencers appear on the Mermaids Don't Fart limited-edition sticker sheet, which is only available when you buy the hardcover book through Pull a Wagon Publishing's website.
