...How to look at an octopus.
We all instinctively look for the face of an animal in order to satisfy our brains and properly orient ourselves.
But ever since I was little and had a plastic purple octopus bath toy, they've had me puzzled.
I made this as part of a custom order and I'm still not satisfied with which way to look at it.
Now, I *know* which end faces front when they move, but then again, they swim backwards, which makes it strange again.
Part of me always wants the big blobby body to be the head/nose, no matter how much I tell myself otherwise.
I'm not the only one that has pondered this, right?

Um... if the octopus' head was the nose then they could actually sneeze their brains out! LOL! okay. Sorry, I'm a nerd and love sciencey humor. This is lovely by the way.
