This cephalopod on a passionately purple (AKA Pantone's blackberry cordial), acid-washed background is sure to make a splash!

NEW! Silver Halide Paper. This paper is a glossy pearly paper with silver undertones. The effect is reminiscent of vintage photo technology. It's very pretty and I am excited to offer it. I think you will love it.

The second listing photo is the solid blackberry background. The acid washed will automatically be sent to you unless you specify that you want the solid background in the notes to seller at checkout. The octopus is taken from an engraving done during a natural history expedition initiated by Napoleon Bonaparte, digitally enhanced and placed on a richly colored background.

Many people refer to this type of print as a Lord Bodner or a Lord Ballantine octopus. If you research for a Lord Bodner or a Lord Ballantine, you will find they are both myths. Lord Bodner and Lord Ballantine are in existence strictly for marketing purposes. The true story behind this octopus is truly fascinating. The print is from a scientific engraving that was created during a scientific expedition that was part of Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. If you would like more information about that, here is a link:

There is no right or wrong orientation for the octopus. If you would prefer to have your octopus reversed so the curly tentacles face the left, message me and I will do that.

Please look at the third and fourth photos for colors you can have this print made in. You can choose any one you want for the foreground or the background - just let me know the name of the color, if it is solid or acid washed and which color you want for the octopus and which you want for the background. You can give me this information in the notes to seller that you will be able to leave during checkout. This print will arrive to you in the colors shown in the listing photos if differing colors aren't selected.

My papers are archival and my inks are long lasting pigments so your prints will have a long life. Still, it's a good idea to keep them out of direct sunlight.

My canvas prints are coated with a UV ray protectant that also protects your canvas art from scratching and discoloration. If you get something on your canvas print, please only use water and a very very soft cloth to clean it. If you absolutely must, dab a little palmolive and water on your soft cloth to clean the spot.

I accept returns and exchanges. Because each print is made to order, I may deduct a 25% restocking fee or original shipping costs I paid (prints $4 - $15, gallery wraps $30 - $80) from refund. A receipt of original shipping costs will be provided upon request.

If your order has been damaged in transit, please message me with photos of the damaged goods and the packaging. I will replace items damaged in transit at no cost to you.

Because gallery wrapped canvas prints are expensive to make and expensive to ship, please be certain of your purchase. If you are unsure of your color choices, please message me for a mockup featuring your colors. The first mockup is free of charge.

Often, I will start working on an order, or in the case of canvas goods, will order and pay for the supplies within minutes of order. Especially during the holiday. Because of this I don't offer cancelation. However, get in touch with me within 5 hours of order if you are wanting a cancellation and if I haven't started on your order, I will do that.
