Here is a drawing that I am doing for my friend, Eric. His brother Christian, is a snow sculptor and had made an ice sculpture with the same theme. The theme given to them was "think outside the box", or something similar. So he made an octopus looking through a telescope up at the stars. I haven't seen a photo of this but I thought, that's so brilliant and whimsical.
Eric had asked me to make him a tattoo design with the same imagery, but my own style. I was more than happy to oblige, and wanted to show you the process. I'm going to update you with this as it starts to become more finalized.
I don't think I've enjoyed such a whimsical and storybook-like concept as an octopus longing to explore space before. So much fun.
