There are a number of Steve O'Shea's out there, but if you are looking for a specific fellow that once chased giant squid around the oceans, defrosted colossal squid, buried himself within whale entrails and was an avid conservationist, well, you've found him here. These days you'll likely find me sitting behind a computer editing the scientific or academic works of others (email me at  DrO@DrO-Editing.com), but occassionally my mind drifts back to another life spent on open oceans, researching my true love, the weird, the wonderful, the perplexing, truly magnificent animals that are cephalopods.

When my life took a new direction in late 2011 I went quiet on the squid and octopus front. However, I am happy to say that I have returned to my roots and begun to research these animals again. I have recently published several papers, and have many more that near submission. Some of these works have been decades in the making.

Below you'll see my own personal Giant Squid specimen, one plastinated by the esteemed anatomist and artist Gunther von Hagens. As much as I would love to hold onto this, it is a little hard to cart around (not like a baby giant squid in a jar) and is for sale; it represents a unique opportunity for someone to own an amazing and irreplaceable piece of history. Contact me for further information.
