Description Cowboys are pretty cool. Initially it was going to be a duel between two gunslingers, however I felt I had to crank the awesomeness up a bit by throwing in a giant octopus instead. I also wanted to experiment with dynamic perspectives, foreshortening, and the use black and white. The title is a throwback to a junior high school art project that took place on "Japan Day". Strangely enough, it was in no way related to cowboys or octopuses.
