It is very rare to see an octopus depicted with such grace. In the there-he-goes-again department, I’ve heard it mentioned that people have noticed an erotic element in his mermaid/octopus paintings. Oddly, I don’t see it, other than the nudity. I see two creatures of the deep in an embrace. If it happened on land, someone would yell “Get a room!”

This reminds me of a Pearl Jam tour poster I picked up many many years ago. Beautiful silk screen of a octo storming a lighthouse. I tried to find the exact one but only ended up finding other PJ posters with octos on them.

Hmmm. I see two ways of looking at this. First thought, yet another picture of someone having sex with an octopus ( Oh, hi Mr Hansen). Or! It could be about how the state is messing up the lives of the people ( I’m guessing that the artist is Russian… the picture has a sort of “Soviet Union” look to it).

So, did anyone even check out the ominous clouds in the background?– Great blog, by the way, Octopi. Who knew? There’s a niche for everything on the net.

It’s hard to criticize such a lovely image, but the mammal appears to be missing some of its posterior anatomy. I find this disconcerting.
