In a perfect combination of things both robotic and aquatic, I give you the Chef.

PS: The Anti-Valentines Votes are being tabulated… Stay tuned! And I was Valentine’s guest artist for fave webcomic Sluggy Freelance on Saturday, check it out… Oh, one more thing – if you missed it, check out the auction for the Squidee watercolor – All proceeds go to aid in the Australian bushfire relief effort.… [ KEEP READING ]

]]> 372 Cephalopod Week – It's the octopus' turn! https://dabbled.org/cephalopod-week-its-octopus-turn/ https://dabbled.org/cephalopod-week-its-octopus-turn/#comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:36:00 +0000 http://dabbledexp.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/cephalopod-week-its-the-octopus-turn/ Apparently there was an outcry of discrimination among the octopuses of the world that my cephalopods this week were of the squid-y variety. To make amends, here is a sweet little Octopus pal, Edvard, is just looking for love (probably in all the wrong places).


(I have been instructed to add that the shrimp in the heart shape was the adorable Handy Hubby’s idea. Please make a note of it. He also consulted on the proper way to draw the bottom of the tentacles.)… [ KEEP READING ]
