A Spinning Cosmic Art Cube!

Yes! my Spinning Cosmic Art Cube is still viewable with a cool Diana Krall tune to perk up the illustrations.

Using images of my drawings from Dreamyfish Art (where you are at the moment! hello?), Cosmic Persona Designs, and Secret Moon Art, the revolving Art Cube (courtesy of Slide.com) is more fun than a barrel of cheeky monkeys, so check it out right away if you may.

Mermaid sighting!

A mythical mermaid has floated by the see what's up with fish portraits and videos here at Dreamyfish Art! Maya as Mermaid is a pencil drawing by yours truly, Jude Cowell.

And you may wish to visit my 'Tapestry Blog' of Art, Astrology, Politics, and the occasional harmless sprinkling of political poetry at Jude's Threshold if you have a moment to spare. Check the sidebar of Pages for a few Wedding Day Astrology Reports of famous couples, some who are no longer together. Bill and Hill are there!

Plus, you'll find even more Politics considered through a populist lens via the use of Astrology at Stars Over Washington where I mainly hang out.

Or, you may always mosey over to Lim's Limericks and get the snarly cat limericking over and done with!

Got Fish Oil? Improvement will follow

As most people are aware, taking fish oil is good support for many health conditions with research studies into its benefits ongoing.

Even the topical application of fish oil may be useful for easing such skin conditions as eczema and psoriasis.

Well, here's a link to a website with a list of current research info on a variety of medical conditions which show benefits from the use of fish oil. It's called Oil of Pisces and you can probably guess that it's the site's name that first attracted me like a bass to a worm!

You'll even find there an article concerning the fish oil/mercury issue which gives pause to some, but check out the info when you get a moment...you may be pleasantly surprised.

Knightfish, the pencil portrait

At last! I've managed to render a fresh new Dreamyfish image and it looks as if he's a Knightfish, Cleidopus gloriamaris De Vis swum over from Houtman Albrohos of Western Australia...and here you spy him ensnared within his favorite, rather colorful, dream.

Or, more to the point perhaps you, dear viewer, are merely a figment of a fragment of Sir Knightfish's fondest dream...?

Well, are your socks damp? That'd be your clue.
