My friend Beppe suggested he was reading “Moby Dick”. I like that.
2.12 Also…I came upon an illustrator quite by accident, I’d not heard of or seen before. I think he’s amazing. His caricatures are beyond compare, really fun & beautifully done. Check him out…Wouter Tulp.

Comment by Cafe23 February 11, 2012 @ 12:27 amIs that a baby octopus? It looks like it has ears =P
I love how the big octopus is looking at the baby
Thanks! Yes. He’s designed after a Dumbo Octopus (Grimoteuthis). They have flaps resembling ears on their heads. I was going for that took.

Comment by Allen Capoferri February 11, 2012 @ 11:41 pmso when you draw this, did you put anyone into the character? like you are the little one or some friends or ? who?
Comment by Fiona.q February 12, 2012 @ 7:39 amHi Fiona, Yes. Like an actor that needs to “get into character”, I need to as well. That means remembering a personal moment to give it a context. It becomes personal that way.
Comment by Allen Capoferri February 12, 2012 @ 2:31 pmthen, who’s the big one? who’s the little one??

I was thinking of myself when I’d read to my daughter.

Comment by Allen Capoferri February 13, 2012 @ 1:54 amThis is sweet. I love illustrative art. To think so much image can be caught in just lines. It’s enormously talented.
