Dumbo Octopus (
ˈdəmbō ˈäktəpəs)
Hovering just a little bit over the sea floor, these are the deepest sea living octopi. They are called the combo octopus because of their similarity in ears with Dumbo, the elephant from Disney's cartoon.
I have attempted these before with various success. I am pretty happy with this one. You can see a plethora of them on my illustration for the letter D.
This week starts an exhibit of my illustration work and four illustration students from Lyndon State College at Northern Vermont Regional Hospital. As part of the exhibit, I completed another illustration in my E is for Elephant series, titled “During a discussion of design dynamics with a defenseless duo of duck billed dinosaurs and a diplodocus, a deluge of dozens of dastardly debonair dumbo octopi daintily descended.” The work will be up until March 6.
