The letter ‘R’ tested my wits a bit. I thought about ocean life and I was certain there were either stingray or manta ray in the first film, so that’s when I found my inspiration from the sequel, Ariel’s Beginning for today’s illustration, Ray-Ray.
Ray-Ray is the bass player for The Catfish Club Band with other members including – Sabastian, Cheeks a green blowfish on sax, Inkspot a violet octopus on the keys, Shelbow a teal sea turtle playing percussion, and Arista King Triton’s 5th daughter and only female band member. Ray-Ray is a sky-blue manta ray with a deep barton voice who’s the band resident womanizer.
When I mentioned Ray-Ray’s band name to DH, he said, “There aren’t catfish in the sea.” I said, “I don’t think so, but it’s a cool name.” As it turns out hardhead catfish live in the ocean but this species may not be desirable to the palette like freshwater catfish. 😉
I’m heading off to link up with other fellow AtoZers and you’re invited to come along. For my fellow A2Zers, please leave a breadcrumb (direct post URL) in comments so I might find my way easily to you. Tomorrow is the A2Z off day but that doesn’t stop me. Okay, technically the weekends stop me and you won’t find me in Blogosphere but thanks to blog scheduling you can hit the Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me on Sunday with ‘your song choice picks‘ week! That’s an invitation to come boogie with me. 😉
