I hate it when the blog posting slips. What with being away for a few days then having to do DIY my blog has been an itch I haven't scratched! But I have been wanting to get down to a new story and have been churning ideas over for the past few days. At it's present stage there is an octopus in the story somewhere. If you've seen my website and looked back through the blog you will note I have a thing about octopeeses (along with apes, monkeys, polar bears etc etc etc...). I really want to get one into a story somehow. Every time I see my blog banner the silhouette pus stares out at me demanding to be used. That silhouette came from a digital 'loosening up' doodle which I've dug out of the archive and started to play around with... if only so I post something and start to get ideas out of my head. More as it occurs folks, thanks as always for stopping by :)

Yeah I always notice this little fella in your banner. Such a strong design he just jumps right out. I really like the first treatment you've done here. Look forward to hearing about his adventures.
PRECIOSO PULPO.SALUDOS
Ohhhh, I love this octopus, It´s very nice!!!
i love the second one!!!!
Yeah this guy is great, nice friendly looking character. Looking forward to seeing his tale/tentacle take shape! I can see the poor little chap getting all entangled in kelp and encountering nasty looking denizens of the deep!

seems appropriate, but I don't know why!
Lob Lob, Lo Blob...
that's what the flower-pot men say!
Ha ha... This octopus is really adorable!! It will be a good story, sure.

That is one cheerful- beaked fellow - looks ready to counteract the work of sea-monsters and sirens to the extent he is able by helping out mariners. I am sure there's a story there.
Hey Matt thanks for the comments. I've answered your questions in my own post's comments, lest I clutter yours with my own waffle. Which I'm kind of already doing...I'll stop now.
great stuff here on the blog, love the simplicity of your work and the beautiful shapes!
Great design!
he is totally cute
i've been loving your banner since at first sight. this paper-cut effect is so original. i would like to see a children's book with your octopus character. i'm sure that he's got so warm hug...
What a great design!
really cool work...
hugs from the south

The octopus is woefully underrepresented in literature and this looks like a lively candidate.
