Today has been pretty sombre, so I thought you could do with something to cheer you up. And what better to do so than a painting of a giant squid destroying a town?

Sadly this particular squid does appear to have come off the worse in the encounter, but it wreaked an impressive amount of havoc on the way.

The painting is “The Belly’s Ocean” by Matt Rota, and the original is apparently available for a mere $1500. My thanks to my fellow Cephalopod fans at Deep Sea News for the link.
