Octopus Paintings in Three Styles

If you've followed Andy for the last year or so, you've probably seen several of his octopus paintings. His octopus art has been pretty popular, so he usually has at least one original piece in stock, in addition to 11x17-inch octopus prints. Right now he has three pieces of octopus artwork available, with each style being quite different:

Cool facts about octopuses:

  • Young octopuses learn almost no behaviors from their parents. Why? Dads die shortly after mating, and moms die within weeks or months after their eggs hatch.
  • The typical life span of an octopus is between 3–5 years.
  • They are highly intelligent. Maze and problem-solving experiments have shown evidence of a memory system that can store both short- and long-term memory.
  • They have soft bodies, with no internal or external skeleton, so they can squeeze into impossibly small cracks and crevices.
  • Though octopuses can be difficult to keep in captivity, some people keep them as pets. They often escape even from supposedly secure tanks, due to their problem-solving skills, mobility, and lack of rigid structure.
  • Mimic octopuses are capable of changing their body shape to mimic other animals.
  • Octopuses have four pairs of arms. If they lose an arm to escape a predator's grasp, they can re-grow it later with no permanent damage.
  • All octopuses are venomous, but only the small blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans.
