Click on image to enlarge This looks like an Octopus to me but according to the Antique Natural History book that this came from, it's actually a Common Cuttle-fish. Either way, he has lots of awesome looking legs, and is such a fun graphic to play with!

Gorgeous image, Karen..if you ever had a parakeet, and bought a cuttle-bone for it, this is the cartilaginous "backbone" of a squid ..so image is of course incorrect, as you know..
ReplyDeleteI loveeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteWonderful image!
ReplyDeleteToo good to be true! Thank you over and over again. Blogged at http://martysfibermusings.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis ran on the comics section of the Houston Chronicle, July 31, 2011; the "Mutts" strip, by Patrick McDonnell ran it, without any attribution I might add. Just thought you'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteThis graphic is being resold on etsy:

Beautiful!! just found this image here, I'm going to use it as reference for a t-shirt illustration. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! this image is FAB! My teen daughter is steampunk crazy and wants an ocotpus for her room. I think this image will delight her. I will attempt to make a wall image or perhaps a cushion. Will link back when I work it out.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I'm hoping that you'll be able to respond to the question. first, thank you for having all of these graphics. Wishing you had some great surfing ones. Anyways, I would love to transfer this one to a cabinet. Have any ideas?

Awesome graphic! It's definitely an octopus, though--no fins and only 8 arms (cuttlefish have 10). :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this! I just used this to make a sea creature dresser.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun!! I would love to see pics, will you be posting it on your blog?!
