Totally off topic:
Is one of our siblings here good at drawing?
I would like to have a drawing (b/w) of a squid/calmar/cephalopod in tartan (=Scottish garb with kilt etc.) and playing the bagpipe.
The Choral Squids are now so into Scottish songs that I think about an extra songbook "Best of the Highland Squids" or "Swato's Tartan Squids" and need a cover illustration for that.

If you can wait a couple weeks and no other artistes step swim forward, I'm willing to take a stab at it. Do you want a shaded, pencilly look or inked line drawing with stipply bits like the WSJ illustrations?

Pure b/w preferred without shading if possible, so it is not too dependent on printer used (and the file is smaller if it is monochrome). Pure line drawing also allows for possible coloration afterwards.

This would be a pretty good example, while this is a wonderful picture but would potentially mean later trouble.
The first one would also serve as a good standard for the level of realism intended, the second one is a bit too real to harmonize with kilt and pipes.

I'll use that as a licence to use it as it fits the verse, not he verse the "correct" sound.
One two, bayou
Oh no, bayou
Mayo bayou
