As you can see, the peacock is a series of random ink spots--rather quite elaborate spots at that. Add feathers and the peacock becomes quite the prancer. If there is a paradise, I imagine it could be a bit quirky and beautiful at the same time.

Little Walking Timb Bomb is from one happenstance ink blot. Antennas, two legs, feet, tail and some mean-looking, shark-like teeth were added. Make of the little fellow what you will but whatever you do, don't put your fingers in his mouth . . . ouch!
