Unwanted Internet #1: CuttleFiasco

My next painting is going to draw inspiration from Gezora, who starred in 1970's Space Amoeba. I giant blue cuttlefish with icy cold blood, Gezora was a frighteningly cute destroyer of mankind.



Having known very little about cuttlefish(aside from the fact that they look absolutely delicious), I decided to learn more at my local Internet.

Cuttlefish have a unique ability to adjust the pigmentation of their skin allowing them to rapidly change color. This is unfortunately missed in Space Amoeba though I assume if you're already a giant invertebrate you're not going for subtlety.

The cuttlefish also makes a delicious risotto dish according to Wikipedia. Another missed connection it seems as Gezora has time to escape to the ocean moments before death.

Now if we could teach dolphins to use a steam basket they would be set for life.
