this would be great in childrens book……im sure you can write the story!! oh talented you!!
Thank you so much Shylie!! Hmmm, a story about an octopus…..not sure I am a writer, however I have always wanted to be a childrens book illustrator!! Thank you for such a lovely compliment!!
Amazing drawing..so well done..looks like it would have taken many hours of work..you have all the little suckers on it’s tenticles done perfectly.. It’s great ..is this a part of a bigger underwater scene..if not I can imagine a whole scene..with the mermaids and the octopus..and all sorts of other sea creatures.
Thank you Cathy, yes those damned suckers took FOREVER!!! Actually this isn’t part of anything bigger, but what a brilliant idea!!!! I am planning on doing some more underwater creatures, sort of as a series…..maybe I’ll finish off with a really huge one of all of them!! Goodness, I get ideas from my lovely fellow RB artists way more than I have the time to paint them all!! I wish head would stope filling with idea after idea, I’ll never get them all done, and I sooo wish I could!!

Absolutely beautiful! You’re lucky to be in Australia, you’ve got the blue ringed octopus, they’re beautiful. Too bad they’re poisonous :[
Thank you :) And you are right they are so very beautiful, but jeez they are dangerous!! (like so many beautiful things in nature I guess!!)
