Prices are adjusted with my own increased production cost. This is an extremely time consuming, costly to produce piece of art. Prices have been increased. I hold-off, as long as I can.

"I have always been fascinated with Cephalopods. This octopus table is astoundingly real and makes any decor stand out in a jaw-dropping way. Early in my career when Carmel Fine Art Gallery showed my octopus. A passing Bronze foundry owner told them I must have somehow cast an actual octopus! (That would never happen, they are goo out of the water) I was young in my career and it bothered me they said such a thing until I realized it was a great compliment to my sculpting! Detailed hot cast bronze, each a 'one of a kind' whimsical in every way! Sculpting my very first octopus in ceramic class when I was in my first year of high school. At that time, I said to my friends: "Someday, I will find a way to make an octopus table!" Forgetting that I had said so, only to have a long-time friend remind me that I had years later when I made my first octopus table in bronze!
Created-signed and numbered by me, the artist. Sold in a very limited edition of only 20 to be cast.
Ships worldwide from TIBURON, California.
There are hundreds of cephalopod species around the world. This is my interpretation of the largest species known: Pacific Giant Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini). Recordings show it reaches 600 lbs. At least 100 of the cephalopod species have three hearts. They are all amazing and as fluid as the oceans in which they live. They are intelligent with a highly developed brain and acute vision and are masters of camouflage.
