This striking art print reimagines a vintage 1890s deep-sea illustration of a Velodona octopus, originally drawn by Carl Chun for the German Deep Sea Expedition. Now given a contemporary twist with soft pastel gradients and radiating circular forms, the image is elevated from science into sacred. The piece is perfect for ocean lovers, design-conscious collectors, or anyone looking to bring a splash of the surreal into their space. Ideal for bathrooms, coastal-themed nurseries, or as a bold statement in modern interiors — it’s natural history with a psychedelic soul.

Part print lab, part time machine, part treasure hunt, Press Play mixes original works, adapted prints, and a deep curatorial dive through dusty archives in search of forgotten gems and visual oddities from art history’s fringes. Some are entirely our own invention; others are collaborations across centuries.
Art that’s smart, strange, a little subversive—and tastefully irreverent.
