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.

I bet you didn’t think I’d be able to figure out a way to tie Plush Week to Wednesday Comics, but with the Internet all things are possible!

Kristin Hogan is the co-creator, writer and artist of a comic book called Dead Squirrel Girl. Squids play heavily into the story, so she came up with an idea to make squid dolls. Her squids are approximately 19″ long and made of a variety of materials in a variety of colors and patterns. “Batsquid” is made from a bed sheet featuring characters from the 1992 movie, Batman Returns. He costs $38 and there is currently only 1 in stock, so if you want it ACT FAST!

Kristin’s Etsy store has several other cool squid dolls, as well some plush nautiluses. You can even get a copy of the Dead Squirrel Girl comic!

Volume 1 ($17)

Dark Cycle Clothing is a husband and wife team from Tampa, Florida. Their Etsy shop is bursting with whimsical designs, mostly involving various animals riding bicycles. These include, but are not limited to: sharks, whales, Tyrannosauruses, giraffes, foxes, and, of course, octopuses.

All shirts are American Apparel super soft tees and are available in a wide range of sizes (from XS to XL) for $18.00 each.

The image above links to the Brown version of the shirt, but it is also availalble in Eggplant and Slate Grey. (If any of the links take you to sold out items, just go to the main page for the shop. There will be many others to choose from!)

They also have a design called “Octopus Corporate Man Explosion”…but I’ll save that for another time.

Pictured here are the small/medium, white, full-length Octopus tights/stockings ($23), but this design is also available in additional sizes, colors and styles. Other designs to decorate your gams include bats, butterflies, and snow flakes.

And even if you don’t have the figure for moderately erotic pantyhose, chances are you have at least one toilet…

This vinyl decal is 13″ by 8″ and is the perfect way to jazz up your porcelain throne (or refrigerator or window or whatever). It costs $13 and also comes in black or white. (Be sure to specify which color you want…black is shipped by default!) For $8, you can also get a smaller version (~7.8″ by 6.3″), perfect for laptops. Other available designs include sharks, jellyfish, pandas, and unicorns.

It will come as little surprise that there were a number of cephalopods underneath our Christmas tree. Here’s a rundown of all the loot…

• Imaginext 3-Headed Sea Dragon Gift Set
• Imaginext Ocean Squid
• Arkham Horror: Innsmouth Horror Expansion (by Fantasy Flight Games)
• orange googly-eyed plush octopus
• Young Mad Scientist Alphabet Blocks (by Xylocopa from ThinkGeek)
• polymer clay tentacle pendent/ornament (by bunny X productions)

Well, I think that’s it for now. I’ve been unplugged for a week so I got to ease back into things, you know?

Noadi’s Art (www.etsy.com/shop/noadi)

Sheryl Westleigh creates amazing polymer clay and mixed media jewelry and sculptures, and I think she loves cephalopods almost as much as do. (OK, probably more!) Her shop has tons of great items in multiple styles and color variations, so if any of these pieces have sold, I’m sure you will be able to find something every bit as good. Not every thing in Noadi’s shop is cephalopod-related—look for trilobites, horseshoe crabs, and even a festive holiday platypus!
