Description An old piece assigned in school to match 'Juggling for the Complete Klutz.' I figure that something with multiple arms and beanbags had the most possibilities for epic failure.

The eyes are more cartoony than I usually do. It will probably disappear from my website as soon as I make a new illustration with a prominent animal character.

Yeah, sometimes I like to imagine the beanbags falling in slow motion while dramatic piano music plays in the background.

I almost want to give him a hug, he looks as if he is about to cry, the dramatic music would tie the knot too!

I don't know how comfortable I'd be hugging an octopus... all those suction cups... what it I was accidentally suffocated?!

Thanks! Every time I look at this one again, I'm like, 'How random! What a bad scan!' It's so old now, but I'm glad someone out there can still appreciate it!

Thanks! When I read your comment, I pictured the beanbags falling in slow motion with a sad violin in the background. *brushes tear*

I know this is an old comment, but I have to respond saying that this made my day (or evening). Oh, and awesome picture; it's hilariously sad.

Darnest thing. I'm physically incapable of feeling sorry for people but the slightest discomfort to animals makes me really sad.

One day, I saw a dead guy in the morning, a person I knew actually, and a smashed kitten on my way back - guess which one ruined my mood.
