Shelley Powers of Burningbird shares our fascination of giant squid finds and we could not resist sharing our latest find.

We’d love to give someone credit for this fine effort. Let us know if you can source it.

LATER: And we can [thanks to Shelley, see comments].

It is called “Squid” [Steel, 2001] and was created by Florida sculptor Sculptor James Racchi. At about 2.1m, however, it has a long way to go to qualify as a true ‘giant’ squid.

Have a safe, fascinating and creative new year everybody.
