being slightly selfish, i'll post a link to my secondary blog which i created to post photos of my tentacled collection. didn't have much time to update it, so it contains only a small part of my octopi, but still... here you are: http://allmytentacles.blogspot.com/
Of course I want to win, being a Cephlo Junkie.
I promise to put lots of EO links on my BitterEndBlog as well.
Hum... this is an ongoing project for a special friend. Part 3 is on its way.

Not having read the whole of Everything Octopus, I'll chance a couple links you might not have seen before ^_^

Dabbled is a lovely artist who is also a fellow Cephalo-phile. Here is a link to a recent entry about an Octopus themed baby shower she just threw for a friend! http://dabbled.org/2011/02/octopus-baby-shower-cookies.html
not sure how popular this is, but maybe some of you don't know it - Octodad, the game. :D

Here are some recent arts I have done that are of (or have)an octopus. Not to be "self centered"/"selfish" about it, but I figured that showing things that a person already has related to sharing things seems more genuine.
I also would be upset if someone else shared my art and won, and I didn't. SO I am sure other artists would feel the same. My art isn't the best, but the results are there.
