      So many great pieces so far this month. A lot of themes that are similar which is cool to see how you all handle it. My original idea that I started with was an octopus parent trying to handle all the day to day tasks with kids. Then out of no where this idea hit me with an octopus as a bartender. I know it feels a little busy, but I think once all the local color is in things will break up. What do you guys think? Any thing that jumps out before I get into color?

              @chip-valecek Looking good! You might consider some kind of foreground object to overlap the octopus give it more depth. Maybe a big whiskey bottle or something.

                @evilrobot Took your advice and added a foreground of sorts. The plan for the three picture frames in the back will be some other octopus themed pieces I did. I will put them in there. I just love tentacles!!

                  Here is my final piece. Added some of my other octopus pieces into the background as wall images. Also hide the SVS bunny somewhere in the piece.
