Description
I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a sudden image of perching orandas, slid out of bed and drew a nearly incomprehensible squiggle on a post-it note, which fortunately included the note "orandas on a branch" or I would have had no idea what I'd been thinking.I did not realize what a grumpy looking little fish the oranda is, but man, they're one disgruntled little fish.

Wow, I love Orandas! I wanted my parents to get some for their big fishtank, but my mom was like, "...These fish are twenty dollars." ...It was very dissapointing!
Great concept and execution, though

You get those feelings too? I woke up one night and couldn't shake an image-based pun of penis envy out of my head. Frued would be amused. Ah, he might say, you DO feel envy for lacking the magnificent organ! And Ah, I would reply: Sleep meds do that to you.
Anyhow, I love grumpy fish. And fishes on wires are delightfully absurd, so this peice is a winner

No way young Orandas or so adorable. Im not too fond of the thing on their heads when they get bigger but the little ones are so cute. Orandas are a favorite of mine. I had one that was so pretty but sadly he got sick and died. Im so happy to see artwork of Orandas. A piece with a Black Moor would be so nice.

I've done the Post-it note thing, just not at night, since every good idea I've had was when I thought it was a dream, and te only thing I could remember was that it was a good idea, just not what it was. D=
Awww, grumpy fish. XD These are so fav'd.

Ursula, you're one of the few people whose dreams I'd love to jump into... You always come up with the most ecclectic, yet colorful and imaginative ideas.

You might be grumpy too if you had to live with that weird stuff on top of your head!

Still, I love the idea of perching fish. And not being happy about it.

They always remind me of Charles from the Tick, the kid who put a glas dome on the top of his head because he wanted everyone to see his brain.
