jamKeeping my tradition of painting octopuses on the bottoms of tables in hotel rooms alive 😀
Fun fact: I used holbien acrylic paints that will glow under UV light, so if someone ever does stumble across my sneaky octopus painting, they could have a bonus surprise if it ever happens to be lit with a blacklight
Petra Elliotta nice surprise considering what else could be discovered with black lights in hotel rooms. 😏
William W@jamdoodles can you save us the da vinci rigamarole and just link on google maps where the ancient artifact is hidden?
KaraOhki@silico_biomancer @jamdoodles This is a wonderful thing! How long do you have to stay to get it done?
@juneg @silico_biomancer this one took about 1.5 hours for the black base & suckers, then another 4 or 5 for the color, so at least a day but I’m usually there for weeks so a few days can pass between steps. This is the most-ambitious one I’ve done; most of the past ones have been 2 or 3 hour affairs
@jamdoodles @silico_biomancer That’s amazing!
LPS@jamdoodles wow, that would be a trip, no one would believe it, ha ha!
Karoline Steinfatt@jamdoodles Is it unethical to hope there will be a murder in this hotel room so the CSI bloodsplatter analyst will stumble upon this and be bedazzled?
vandorb12@dieMelanie @jamdoodles no. Let your fantasies run wild.
Existenz Häretiker@dieMelanie @jamdoodles and then, they are searching for the octopus-killer 🙈
Chauncey Yaunders@jamdoodles That is so incredibly cool! I am going to start looking under tables in every hotel room from now on.
Mrs Cloudy@chaunceyyaunders @jamdoodles just don't look under beds. 😬
Anne@chaunceyyaunders @jamdoodles I was just thinking the same thing!
Lonewolf@jamdoodles nobody should be using black lights at hotels😂
C0urage@lonewolf @jamdoodles God why did I have to see this LOL.
@C0urage @jamdoodles trust me
__red__Fellow fediversians... i declare that @jamdoodles has taken the mantel from Banksy.
This work is incredible.
Like, "I'm wanting to open a hotel on the off-chance you visit it" level of incredible.
Greg Stolze@jamdoodles You are going to freak out some CSI.
"Detective, I am 100% certain that cephalopod was there at least three months before the Torso Shredder even checked in."

The horrors they'll discover using a blacklight in a hotel room may extend well beyond the underside of this table! 😬

dotKnewt@jamdoodles So, realistically that’s going to be part of a murder scene, right?
Cheeseness@jamdoodles I love this!
Aram Sinnreich@jamdoodles This is God's work.
Meditating in the moshpit@jamdoodles this is beautiful! I live the idea of someone finding it :-)
Doutor quem? 🖖🏻@jamdoodles my man, what a beautiful piece of art! Great technique and awesome colors.
Starfleetmom@jamdoodles @Rexpanse that is amazing!!
The Rexpanse 🪐@Starfleetmom @jamdoodles it's UV reactive too!
Nancy DeWitt@jamdoodles That is so amazing!
Trevor Wilson@jamdoodles if I found this under a table I'd be tempted to steal it.
Christina Hendriks@trevor @jamdoodles same lol it’s going home with me
Adri Jara@jamdoodles I might need to start looking under hotel tables, that is so cool!
J.K.Pirie@jamdoodles That's amazing and totally bonkers.
This means I will now ha e to look under every hotel room table ever now!

@jamdoodles oh I absolutely adore this!!
Anna Nicholson@jamdoodles @squish I have questions:
1. Have you ever been charged for damaging hotel property?
2. On the flip side, has a hotel ever offered to pay you for your work?
3. Most importantly, do you turn the table over to paint it, or do you lie beneath it, like Michelangelo?
IngridPhoenix@transponderings @jamdoodles @squish I figured 🤣
I just have a vivid imagination and immediately pictured the real Michelangelo crouching under the table, with palette 🎨 and brushes... 😉

mal helasdóttir@transponderings @jamdoodles asking the real hard hitting questions right here ❤️
@transponderings @squish
1. Nope
2. Also nope
3. So far I’ve been able to turn all the tables over, but if I’m sufficiently bored in a hotel & a table is attached to the wall, I probably will lay underneath it & do something

pocket full of hawthornes 💦@transponderings @jamdoodles @squish the real question behind #1 here is if you've ever been caught/hotels have ever taken notice.
Jessica Fisher@jamdoodles that's amazing!!
Jo Jo Physics girl@jamdoodles I love that and want to find one - but then I’d want to take it home!!
Bears Shouting
Caffed@jamdoodles Wow, that’s beautiful artwork! How long does it take you to paint it? That would be a pleasant surprise to find!
myownpetard blue checkmark@jamdoodles this is the best random public art thing EVER. thank you for all the octopuses or whatever the plural is.
@renissance1 @myownpetard @jamdoodles I didn't think about this before, so I was curious. There seem to be a lot of options!
Wiktionary says: octopus (plural octopuses or octopusses or octopi or octopodes or octopii) (see usage notes)
I highly recommend reading these usage notes, they are very interesting: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/octopus

Tim Lane@jamdoodles just the best
Rob Garver@jamdoodles What?! That's amazing.
dingodog@jamdoodles this is amazing but also I will now be forced to check every hotel room table for the rest of my life
Lisa Plattner@jamdoodles I LOVE OCTOPUSES.
Squish@jamdoodles oh my gosh, that is amazing! ❤️
S. Newbery@jamdoodles This is stunning (and the image description is superb).
David Bruce@jamdoodles I think if I were lying on the floor choking on a chicken leg at that hotel, I would feel so lucky to have seen that right before my vision failed. That is amazing.
justin ferguson@jamdoodles That is amazing. Now I'm going to have to check the bottom of tables in every hotel room I stay in.
Jes Steele 🏴☠️@jamdoodles wow this is amazing! 🐙
