Interesting factoid of the day...

[summer_jackel]

Sepia ink was originally obtained from cuttlefish, 'sepia' being the generic name of said cephalopod. When used on paper, the stuff is...sepia colored.

Ok, so now the stuff is edible (questionably, IMHO. At least, octopus ink is eaten on pasta...) and an art supply. Obviously, I need to go do something interesting with this information.

I am working on a few cuttlefish pictures, although so far I still vastly prefer to draw octopodes. Maybe I should ink them in sepia (artificial, of course ;) out of homage.
