I noticed over the course of last week that a lot of comic artists have websites, through which you can request commissions. I wish I had the money to get, say, John Byrne, Gene Colan, Kagan McLeod, Jim Mahfood, Evan Dorkin, Ron Lim, etc. up to like 20 artists, to draw their own interpretations of an octopus playing the piano on a busy racetrack.
Imagine, a twenty piece comics art exhibit of different interpretations of an octopus playing the piano on a busy racetrack. Just having that on display in your house would be a mad pussy magnet.

Shower thought for the day

I've spent most of the last 24+ hours since you posted this pondering this question and I still don't understand: what is the significance of an octopus playing the piano on a busy racetrack?
Just a random image, really. No significance to speak of, other than it's an absurdist scenario that would in theory promote a creative slant in the artist.
My 2yr old niece asked me if I wanted her to draw me a picture, and the first thing that popped into my head was "draw me a picture of an octopus playing a piano on a racetrack." And somehow she did, and it looked exactly like one too.
