The Argonaut (black on wood background)

The Argonaut (black on wood background)This piece grew from a logo I did for a company in Orlando. It was for a team project thing and they were called the Argonauts. In researching Argonauts I found some cool pics of the argonaut octopus and thought it would be a good combination with a ships wheel because it is named after the ancient Greek sailors. The argonaut in this drawing is a female. The thing on her head or back is an eggcase. They are also known as paper nautiluses and are found

Blue Morpho

I’ve always liked drawing skulls and skeletons but most of the time I’ve drawn them in art classes as studies or practice for other drawings

Not every death is explained

I know they have the same number of vertebrae in their necks as we do but they look so alien

and alien at the same time

They were happy with the logo I ended up giving them but I really liked my octopus version

I find my frames a thrift stores and build to the size of the frame

And will definitely be adding some more large pieces like this

They have so many segments to their skin it makes them a very interesting subject

I can't guarantee the same frame because I get all my frame from thrift stores
