This was a new one for the Spelling Animals: I was asked to paint ‘Jill’ in Octopi! Interestingly this species of spelling animal presents the opposite challenge to the more conventional types: with cats and the like one often wants a few extra limbs to form letters, with octopi, one wants fewer. Fortunately octopi limbs can be tangled and wrapped in a pleasingly Baroque fashion 🙂

That’d different and fun! 😀
thanks! wouldn’t have thought of it myself, but quite a good spelling animal!
…But you’re so creative, I bet you could use puffer fish! Heh-heh.
Hahah! I think they might have to be exploding ones though to get any letters!
Heh-heh. Doh!
