These awesome octopodal earrings were being given away last week at the World Hosting Days gobal event by technology company Plesk:

The wizards at the Monteray Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) capture a giant Haliphron Atlanticus on film, eating a jellyfish. This is only the third time in 27 years that a MBARI ROV has captured the Haliphron on camera.

I thought I had fallen into a weird trend with the "people with octopodes on their head" genre, but now apparently I have fallen further down into the rabbit hole with "foxes with octopodes on their  heads". I am scared to find out how deep this goes. This terribly cute fox is by Almirah.

I stumbled across the work of Andy Brase the other day while searching Bernie Wrightson. Check this out, his art is amazing.

Today is the spring equinox, so naturally I googled "octopus spring". You can imagine my astonishment when it came back with this, very literal, result:

Legendary artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away. I first discovered his work as a child reading Swamp Thing, and then as a teenager I fell in love with his seminal illustrated version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. He also did concept art for the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist, as seen here. Currently WrightsonArt.com / BernieWrigtson.com is under heavy load for obvious reasons, but it is well worth visiting and exploring.

When three different people send me the same video within a matter of hours, you know I'm going to post it here...

I got a new bubbler for my fish tank today. Check it out!

I love this one so much! Louis, the giant pacific octopus, with his Mr. Potato Head toy!

Nah, the story isn't true. But why ruin a good tale with something as trivial as reality.

Every time I think I have seen every variation on "<something> with an octopus on its head", I am pleasantly surprised by another artist. In today's examply, check out Octofoxy by Skia:

I bet he wishes he had hung out at that "strange women" house instead...

That submarine doesn't stand a chance!

Submitted by reader Joe Brinkman, what can I even say about this... thing?
