Valentine's Day ... Octopi Style

Ever wondered how octopuses spend their Valentine's Day?  Tangled up in each other!

I recently stumbled upon this fabulous artist Black Baroque who has excellent customer service.  Really, when is the last time you could say excellent and customer service in the same sentence and MEAN IT?  The president of the company is Poni [yes, it's a dog, and Poni is adorable!].

They graphically design animals/anatomy/flowers/Victorian designs and then print them on pages from books in the 1890s.  How charming is that?  I've also seen them use music sheets with octopuses printed on them.  I've ordered two and fully plan on ordering two more. 

Now, if they only had zombie octopuses [or just zombies], I would purchase enough to fill up one whole wall in my living room!

Here's a bit of information about their shop:

♥Paper: A gorgeous antique page from 1890.
This is a two column page with a border, considered in that day to be high end publishing as opposed to the common three page column, no border style used for lower budget publishing.

♥Illustrations: All of our illustrations are dated from the time period of the 16th and 18th centuries.

♥About your print: You will receive one book page but not the exact page as shown in this listing as they come from one book making each page one of a kind. The page size is 8 x 10. Frame is not included. Please keep in mind that one of the reasons we use antique books pages besides their beauty and they make for an interesting read, is to also recycle books that are no longer loved giving them new life. In the spirit of recycling we use book pages for our prints that have character flaws with some spotting, uneven printing and corner bending. All our book pages have that beautiful golden color that only comes from age.

Proof that Octopuses DO celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
