I first made this fun little guy a few years ago. It was carved into one of those weird, rubbery linoleum-alternative blocks.  

I’ve tried out a couple of them and they’re decent enough. Soft and easy to carve. I’ve heard people complain that you can’t get good detail using the softer material, but I’ve never had any problems carving fine details. I will admit that I prefer linoleum though.

The original version of this print was done using a water-based ink but I’ve since switched to a water-soluble oil-based ink and greatly prefer it!

Spruce up any room with a dash of nautical flair and grab yourself this playful octopus print right here in my shop or, if you prefer, over here in my Etsy shop.
