Let me tell y’all about Cephalopods. They are beautiful, weird, and totally under appreciated.

A Cephalopod is any member of the molluscan class Cephalopoda such as a squid, octopus or nautilus. These exclusively marine animals are characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a set of arms or tentacles modified from the primitive molluscan foot. Featured here from top to bottom is: Stubby Squid, Dwarf Cuttlefish, Bobtail Squid, Blue-Ring Octopus, Googly-Eyed Squid, Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Flapjack Octopus, and the Nautilus.

Right now I am undertaking an artistic journey, illustrating an array of species and calling to attention these spectacular creatures. All of these are done in Prismacolor pencils. Come vote on my Instagram account @tallandartsy on which cephalopods you want to see next!

Reviewing 5 Famous Spiders

1. Aragog

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

Very wholesome spider dad. A family man. Loves to have long conversations in the woods. Loses a star for letting his kids almost eat Harry and Ron.

2. Charlotte

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

CHARLOTTE IS BEST GIRL. SHE SAVED WILBUR’S LIFE AND SHE IS A VERY TALENTED TYPOGRAPHER. SHE IS PERFECT.

3. Shelob

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ 

Okay…we all get hungry sometimes and that’s okay. But does that mean you have to try and eat a hobbit who’s just trying to make it to Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring? Don’t you think that’s a bit selfish, Shelob? Shame.

4. Anansi

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 

Very helpful. Very knowlegable. Always has a great story to tell. More people should know about him.

5. The tarantula from Home Alone

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 

A true celebrity. So much star power. Puts up with a lot of crap. Not even mentioned in the credits??? Shameful.
