The captain called it a shortcut. The kraken called it lunch.

Full sails. Open water. A perfectly respectable ship having a spectacularly bad day. Somewhere below deck, somebody is insisting this was absolutely not in the brochure. Above deck? A sudden shortage of volunteers for lookout duty.

Release the Kraken! A little maritime mischief, a magnificent tangle of tentacles, and a reminder that the ocean has never cared how important your plans are.

This piece was inspired by the old scrimshaw etchings I saw at the whaling museum in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The intricate work those sailors made stayed with me. This is my silkscreen take on that seafaring spirit—with considerably more tentacles.

Looks great on a wall. Would make one heck of a tattoo, too.
