Artist's notes:
 This
is the first cephalopod I've ever drawn, back in about 1998.
I've drawn quite a few since then along with some other
octopus (blue-ringed
and giant pacific.)
I have no immediate plans to draw more, but I'm always open
to
suggestions to draw other species of octopus.

Information about the Common Octopus:
The Common Octopus is a medium sized cephalopod growing
about 24-36 inches in length. They are found in tropical,
subtropical and temperate oceans all around the world. They
generally stay in coastal waters in the shallows where they
hunt for fish, crustaceans and bivalves. Like all octopuses,
Octopus vulgaris is an expert at camouflage. They are able
to change the texture of their skin along with the color
to blend into their surroundings. When threatened they can
discharge a large dark cloud of ink.
