Tentacle Twists are genetically predisposed to becoming chess grandmasters. Managing all those tentacles makes you good at keeping track of what needs to go where when, and how.
Chess is only a small part of the battle for alpha supremacy amongst tentacle twists. Other trials include the blank verse poetry head-to-head and the double-blind wine-pairing gamut.
I'm a cartoonist and a sculptor. The cartoons are generally aimed at adults and tend to be Not For Everyone. The sculpts are my Feeping Creatures monster figurines and art, and are suitable for all ages. I do a lot of scfi-fi/comic conventions and art fairs where I sell the Feeps as part of my ongoing effort to increase the number of monsters in people's homes and offices.
I come up with the captions for these photos first thing in the morning, when I'm still half asleep. If they seem a little surreal sometimes that's probably why. You are more than welcome to comment with your own caption ideas.
