Artist's notes:

giant pacific octopus thumb The Giant Pacific Octopus was completed in 2007, based upon a photo taken in the Atlanta aquarium by a friend. The original background was replaced with the rocks and kelp. This drawing is a personal favorite of mine. I've drawn a few other octopus (blue-ringed and Atlantic) but I am always open to suggestions to draw other species.
