Artist's notes:
 The
Blue-Ringed Octopus was completely redone in April 2009. What amazes me about these animals
is how much they can vary their shape, color and even skin
texture. I've drawn a few other octopus - Atlantic and Giant
Pacific - but if you'd like to see another species go ahead
and shoot me an
email.

Information about the Blue-Ringed Octopus:
Blue-Ringed Octopuses are three indentified small octopus
that live in tide pools and shallow areas in the Pacific
Ocean. They are found from Japan to Australia. They are
very small - only perhaps the size of a golf ball. Blue-Ringed
Octopus generally feed on small crustaceans like shrimp
and crabs. They grabs their victims and use their powerful
venom to paralyze them. The venom this cephalopod has is
more than powerful enough to kill humans and there is no
known antidote.
