Based on what I’ve heard about octopus breeding season, October is more like their Valentines 😝

I'm grateful for the training, the friends, the memories. And I'm grateful to the staff for gifting me this sick sign, which always adorned the toilet in the SF shop!

Thanks so much! I put a lot of thought into the design, and I know you have an eye for that so I really appreciate you saying so

After stepping away from the piece for a while I was able to meditate more on the subject. The Oracle represents unconscious power, and by trying to seek a technical perfection I was denying my intuition. So I let go of seeking perfection and trusted myself to have brought it to the right place.

This piece was hard to finish. I have a tendency to get caught up in perfectionism, and this subject was particularly important to me because one of the first pieces of artwork I made for Octopolis was this piece also titled The Oracle.
