This is another one of Teo's. It's done a lot like the lion one, only this time it's got a couple extra steps. Instead of just collaging together all those little pieces of magazine photos and then cutting it out in a single outline, this is several cut out collaged pieces (each of those orange bits is its own cutout) and it's all assembled together on an acrylic painted background.

Incidentally, those parts where it looks like the blue background is showing through the sea slug, it actually isn't - the blue values in the collage just happen to match the background quite well.

Teo's piece, so please be gentle!

Teo loves aquatic life in general and I'm sure if he had his way we'd have a huge saltwater aquarium in our house, but he has to settle for trips to the Aquarium of the Pacific instead. We've never seen a sea slug this colorful in real life, but the pictures of them are striking. Seriously! If you think something called a 'sea slug' must be gross, go Google some nudibranch photos (that's the family they belong to, go ahead and giggle) - they're actually a really fascinating and diverse group. Almost living abstract art, some of them.
