Tattoos & Tentacles is an stunning new book / photographic prints from photographer Julian Murray and marks the end of a great art series – a bargain at $50 (it would also be rude not to mention that of course squid porn is to date the most viewed post on this entire blog).
The Octopus Chair
7 MarI feel confident in stating this is the best chair you would have ever seen, it is from Maximo Riera and the first in a series called ‘The Animal Chair’.
The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles, and even including insects. Each creation retains the animal’s natural vitality whilst being totally biological accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing.

If you are looking for a new hair style, Joshua Hair salon has a great idea for you: octopus wigs. Simply purchase an octopus and place it on your head. They were clearly in thinking octopus / squid on heads is a great concept as only the final image is the advert for the hair salon. The results of the octopus wigs are unexpectedly fabulous as the beautiful tentacles hang down like hair tendrils. Want longer hair? Buy a bigger octopus. Want shorter hair? Buy a smaller octopus.
