Art Week: “The Squid Tree” by Ursula Vernon
It seemed only fitting that the next Art Week installment after “The Kraken Always Follows Its Heart” would be the picture that hangs next to it in my front hall (next to the coat rack, and the first thing you see when you come in through the front door)–”The Squid Tree” by Ursula Vernon.
Depicted here is a weird little guy in blue, happily eating his lunch, but little does he realize that the tree–if it is a tree–has its eye on his sandwich…
Ursula is another amazing artist that I have the good fortune of knowing personally. The various and sundry subjects of her fabulous illustration include ninja frogs, the wombat tarot, bird golems, and some very dangerous fruit. See more of her work on deviantART, her personal site, Metal & Magic, and her webcomic, Digger.
Of course, for the purposes of this blog, I feel obligated to direct you to some more specific examples of her cephalopod-themed art:
