Squiddle-dum

Squiddle-Dum is a delightful, cheeky portrait of a South Australian squid who’s clearly having a moment. Against a rich black background, Squiddle-Dum’s tentacles spiral and swirl in a playful dance, as if he’s just discovered the joy of being the centre of attention.

The vibrant hues of pink, purple, and green pop against the darkness, giving Squiddle-Dum a certain "look at me" quality that’s as endearing as it is amusing. With each tentacle in just the right position, he exudes a confident charm, yet there’s a touch of mischief in his watery gaze—like he knows exactly how fabulous he is.

This piece captures the quirky spirit of the ocean, reminding us that sometimes, it's not about being graceful, but about having a bit of fun and embracing the dum in Squiddle-Dum
