Octo-Pus the Cuttlefish, Asbjorn Lonvig, Reprint Poster in up to 17 sizes and 3 surfaces. Inspired by joy of making motifs that communicate in a very simple way. One beautiful evening I sat at a restaurant in Venice at the brink of Grand Canal. I ordered cuttlefish. Honestly I did not know, what it was. It tasted like rubber in an ink stew. I know now what a cuttlefish is. And then of cause Octo-Pus is the main character in the children's book "The cuttlefish Octo-Pus and the crab Crab-Mac-Claw". Crab-Mac-Claw, Asbjorn Lonvig, Reprint Poster in up to 17 sizes and 3 surfaces. Inspired from my love to the sea, my past as a crab catcher, from the joy of making motifs that communicate in a very simple way. If you see the name No-Crap - it is the prior name of Crab-Mac-Claw. The second time a translator told me, that he could not be called No-Crap in American English - I gave in. At the exhibition "International Contemporary Exhibition" in Rome I met Jose Dali. Son of Salvador Dalí. Jose Dali exhibited motifs from Venice, where he lives, and I showed anything I had. I gave Jose a letter in Italian, which was intended to all Italians and all Romans. At the bottom of this letter there was a poster from the LUCCA project. He saw Crab-Mac-Claw. He laughed, and laughed, and laughed.............sincerely. He became so happy. From that moment I knew, that Crap-Mac-Claw is a lucky star in my production. He had just been renamed from No-Crap to Crab-Mac-Claw. Crab-Mac-Claw will probably become the new logo of my world wide fairy tale activities. On my way home - in the airport of Rome - I bought a huge book. Salvador Dalí - la vita e l'opera. I had to know more about Jose's father. Jose's background. I still can't imagine why Jose paints tiny naturalistic watercolor pictures with motifs from Venice? The only resemblance to Salvador Dalí is Jose's bird!!!!! And then of cause Crab-Mac-Claw is the main character in the children's book "The cuttlefish Octo-Pus and the crab Crab-Mac-Claw".
