A fascinating creature, at least for me...:) Tenticles and suction cups... This is an original oen and ink illustration on a vintage book page (from a sewing book). Archival inks, acrylic paints, and glossy varnish were used to create the subtle layers in "Octopus 1". It measures 5" x 7"; initialled on the front; signed, dated, and titled on the back. Based on bristol.
