Could this be PZ's secret identity?...

Cool! I wonder if the artist used cuttlefish ink to draw it.

This reminds me that my squidly sonnets are a bit short on squids until now.

The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Nah, ink from cuttle fish or squid is sepia coloured =dark brown (like peat brown but a colder hue).
A very useful colour in the watercolour box  :)

Do you think that background color could be a watered down version of it?

I'd like to walk into a shoe store and ask, "Does this come in cuttlefish ink?"

I'm not sure.  I think this is an eye form a giant squid.  Possibly a colossal squid.

From Mary's Monday Metazoans...







It's some kind of anemone, not a cephalopod, but it sure is pretty.

*VERY* cool!



ps: I have an urge to photoshop little duck beaks onto all those waving tentacular frondy extrusions.   :)

It looks totally painted, not photographed.

Could be... think of the colour really old photos have, before black and white was black and white, it was Sepia and White.

When I use brown colours when painting I mostly use earth tones like raw and burnt sienna or umber sepia is hard to find but it is a very nice colour.

Looks like halo-halo (or some kind of bean and jelly desert) to me, with some crushed peanuts on top. ;D

WWDDD?

Looking into that eye, it is up to something.
Is it the Grand Vezir of the Moghul squids?

He looks like cellophane noodles that have been sprinkled with that dried pepper stuff they serve in pizzarias.

Or maybe I'm hungry...
