  1. It is always a pleasure to come and check out your blog, I love your work. Your first picture “Octopus Inky Defense Strategy Confuses Moray Eel” is really cute, I got a good chuckle from that one, and your second painting “Nautilus-like goniatite floats through a Pennsylvanian-era sea” is beautiful. I live the rich orange and blues, and I think purple and green that is in its shell. Great work, thank you so much for sharing!

    Cheers!

  3. Any chance you’ll make the octopus ink picture into a T-shirt, perhaps via cafepress? I’d buy one, and I bet a number of my fellow octopus-lovers on tonmo.com would be interested!
