# Splash Canvas > Source: > Published: 2026-07-01 08:08:43+00:00 Drag an octopus or squid across the canvas to paint! Each has a unique style and will offer playful critiques or fun insights. Beware the turtles: Smudge blends your work, while Scrape erases it. Created by David Li, this squishy digital experiment explores surreal, playful interactions. It utilizes a novel GPU fluid simulation, Gemini-powered character dialogue (synthesized via Chirp 3), and procedural audio by Chris Heinrichs. Li is also the creator behind Google Arts & Culture favorites Viola the Bird and Blob Opera.
