Description "Born in 1885, Victor Gilliatt was diagnosed with a extremely rare case of Cephalopodia (tentacles of the face). At the age of eight, he ran away and joined a traveling sideshow where for the next thirty-two years of his life he performed around the world as the β€œOctopus Man.”

While performing in Minsk he received a telegram stating that his father had died. Tired of the sideshow life, he decided to travel back to his home town and is now a successful ink salesman."


A couple of comments from the last post got me thinking about what i wanted to do for today's entry. I really wanted to make this into a carnival-type poster but i just didn't have the time. I'll probably come back to it later and finish it up.

Watercolor, white paint, pens/sharpie and a prisma color marker.

*Edit* Dang! I forgot to draw his pipe! Might have to put that in there...

You probably used some octo-cream on it. That stuff always clears it up.

I can totally see this animated...reminds me of Friz Freleng's Inspector type stuff! (which I love tremendously!)
