I found each of these impressive examples of octapodian body art on the Tumblr blog All Things Under Water. Wherever possible, I’ve included artist/source information.

heathurrrhippo.tumblr.com says, “This is my octopus just after it was done around 2 years ago. The redness is mostly just irritation and is all just gray shading now.”

incomprehensibleuniverse.tumblr.com says, “Because jellyfish and octopi are gorgeous creatures.”

This stony fellow can be found perched high atop the Washington National Cathedral.

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but that’s OK because CEPHALOPOD LOVE OBSERVES NOT YOUR PUNY HUMAN HOLIDAYS!

Currently sold out, so you may want to keep an eye on the W+K Studio blog for any news.

Back in June, as you may recall, I posted this image from the History Channel reality Pawn Stars.

I have been unable to track down anything about this hoodie, but in the comments on my original post, a helpful reader named Jeremy has just informed me about the following URL: www.souloctopus.com. As you can see here, this is clearly the same “Soul Octopus” logo, but, sadly, the site is under construction.

Jeremy tells us that this holding page has been there for at least a few months, so who knows when the Soul Octopus will finally give up its inky secrets?

The Tumblr blog community is a bountiful source of awesome images of all kinds. However, it is all too common that source or artist attribution is left out of the original post. Take this vintage illustration of Vampyroteuthis infernalis. I’m pretty sure it’s from a public domain book of zoological drawings, and I’ve possibly even posted something from that same source before. But I don’t really know. What I do know is that Vampyroteuthis has never been creepier. One could almost believe that it truly is a vampire squid!

Part of a series of 5″x7″ digital prints by Ebay seller JennSki. This is currently sold out, but it seems like she doesn’t currently have anything for sale in her Etsy shop, so it might be worth checking back in at a later time.

What devilry is this? A T-shirt post on a day other than Tuesday?? Well, given the current trend of T-shirt sites that offer their designs for one day only, one has to learn to be flexible.

Of course, once again, I am a little late to the punch here, but this shirt is still available (only $10!) for a few hours more. It’s an octopus next to a pirate skull! What’s not to love? Buy it while you can from Ript Apparel.

I also have to give a shout out to Natalie for tipping me off about this one!
