Curious Octopus (Sweet Squares #2)

 © 2012 Sylvia Liu

This was done quickly, finger painted on my iPad. A curious and smart octopus. (Second Sweet Squares piece).

Reasons I love octopi:

• They're smart (they can solve mazes and puzzles)
• They're ferocious (they can take down a shark... check out this National Geographic video)
• They can predict World Cup soccer results (Paul the Octopus correctly predicted all of Germany's 7 matches as well as the final in the 2010 World Cup)
