A hard rockin octopus, rockin out hard! My entry for the Sound comp. Placed 4th out of some amazing Top 20 entries. 10 tee’s off to the UK!!! Thanks to all involved. On the shelves in London’s Demo Store!!!! / Original rough sketch - /
My first piece finished in 09! Another octobeast from my series – here’s another one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, metallic leaf on canvas. / He has golden suckers!
Original graphic was derived from the MONO Octo Skateboard Deck Series initiated in the Fall of 2008. The Octopus adorns both canvas and skateboard as well as these tees. www.ponshopstudio.com
Medium: Acrylic and Watercolour Paint on Paper / Size: A4 / Description: About an octopus who has developed a suit so that he may walk with the humans. A piece to fulfill my curiosity with octopuses and old looking diving helmets. The character’s odd infatuation with the human race mirrors my own with his species. Completed in 2008.

Another slightly deaf creature, like this one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the copper on the suckers:
A distant memory…
/ / So I was at a sushi restaurant with my friend, and she said ‘ostrich tentacle’ rather than octopus tentacle. A curious beast that just had to be painted. Ostriches are cool – sort of snooty and silly looking at the same time. / I liked painting his funny feets. Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas, 30cm x 23cm. / / / /
. coax me to flutter / entangle me with lust / weave me in and out of your dreams / bound me with the tentacles of passion / drown me in your love / don’t release me / until the stars die… . . o3.o6.2oo9 / charcoal on mi-tientes® paper / background: map / tentacles: made for me by nico (@age12) / with crayola air dry clay put together in photoshop . .

I’ve had Kraken on the mind a little bit lately, so have ended up with this image and my Kraken story. This image isn’t painting a scene from the story, as I didn’t have a commercial fishing ship image to play with (that’s okay, I’m not looking for one…!)
