The cephalopod and Lavinia

    I am fascinated by cephalopods. I saw a photo of the cutest baby octopus and I couldn't resist drawing him. I know he's going to stick around for a while, maybe cross stitched into a pillow or some such.

     My style of drawing has always been that of a cartoonish nature. I've never felt a desire to mirror the things I see. I suppose it's due to the fact that I still view the world through a child's eyes. 

     I introduce my baby cephalopod. I also introduce a very early stage rendering of a character I'm working on. She's made in my image thus far. We'll see how she develops as she's sketched out a few hundred times.
