Description The companion piece to "Cuttlefish Hat."

I firmly believe that there is no more beautiful animal in nature than the walrus. I mean, the hide! The hide! It's like--like--walrus hide! It's spectacular! Go look at a walrus if you don't believe me. Seriously. I defy any artist not to be wowed by walrus skin.

Given the tusks, it should be pointed out that the walrus sporting this stylish invertebrate headgear is, in fact, a male walrus. To which I say "Look, if we've already got a walrus wearing a jellyfish hat, does a transvestite walrus wearing a jellyfish hat really take us that much farther down the garden path?"

Prints available, original 16 x 20 mixed media also available at the time of this writing, visit [link] for either.

somehow the facial expression reminds me about our super fatroid cat, who's still cute and adorable, as well as this painting is.

Finally someone who agrees with me that Walruses are the most beautiful animals.
They're also cute, with there little whiskers and they always seem to be smiling.
I must favorite this!

Social-Misfit [2005-10-05 02:37:53 +0000 UTC]

Completely gorgeous! His whiskers could have been just a little bit longer, but that's such a minor detail. You did his expression just like a real walrus sunning himself in the sun contented with life. The skin done well (and yes they have an odd texture) and I really like the background texture. Believe it or not, baby walruses are actually amazingly cute.

chaman [2005-07-01 03:00:33 +0000 UTC]

He is so very cute that part is right! Some might think it unusual to think a walrus is beautiful, but they are I must agree. Especially those whiskers which penguins don't even have (I like penguins!.) Dont worry about the jellyfish anyone, some jellyfish don't sting- but hope this walrus is not wearing a stinging type. This walrus in luck, hes wearing a sand dollar. I just have one question. What is on the bottom of the jellyfish? My guess was a type of big leaf.

Newtronian [2004-12-25 03:39:29 +0000 UTC]

It looks like the jellyfish is giving him the hives (although i'm sure walruses have that kind of skin). This is waay to cool.

There's an enormous one at San Diego's Sea World... he's so awesome! And he looks just like this ! er, without the hat. ^.^ He's so fascinating to watch. I love arctic animals. I've got a growing collectiong of mini plush arctic animals in the dash of my car. ^.^ That... might have been TMI. HAHA! Your artwork is soooooo amazing. Bravo!

er, you do know that a jellyfish hat would hurt like the dickens, right?
anyway.. the transparency on this is just.. wow... ^^ and the look on the walrus's face... oh yes, he's the prettiest walrus of them all. a rare flower, in fact. quite rare.

I think this is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Walruses and seals are my favourite animals, have been for years, and this picture made me go "aww" really loudly.

He looks so content.

You did a beautiful job colouring this, and making the jellyfish look realistic.

Awe.. I love his expression; it's so cute. Then again, walruses tend to have a natural cuteness to them.

And I don't think it's a transvestite, actually. I mean... in the old days, the hats that dudes wore looked pretty fruity. Just look at the Musketeers!

That's pretty awesome!

But one thing... female walruses also have tusks.... but I wouldn't necessarily argue with a two ton animal that's been known to kill humans.
