In this surreal farewell illustration, we enter an office setting that defies normalcy with a fantastical twist. At the center of the scene, an octopus named International sits at an antique wooden desk, its tendrils gracefully entwined around vintage typewriters, fountain pens, and an old-fashioned telephone. International, with eyes filled with warmth and wisdom, uses one tentacle to wave goodbye to a small, distant silhouette of a boy, who is barely visible as he sails into a vibrant, watercolor sunset on a paper boat crafted from an office memo. The paper boat, detailed with the texture of handwritten notes, bobs gently atop a sea of wavy, undulating file folders and spreadsheets.

The sky, a swirling mix of pastel pinks and deep purples, captures the magic hour. In the sky, clouds form the name "Josh" in a whimsical font reminiscent of a child's handwriting, their fluffy shapes a soft contrast against the rich, fading light. The ocean of documents is bathed in the sunset's golden glow, casting a warm hue across the scene.

Scattered around the octopus are books and papers depicting illustrations from Norman Rockwell, Aubrey Beardsley, and Maurice Sendak, hinting at the inspiration taken from these artists. In the background, a vintage clock, its hands frozen in time, suggests the timelessness of farewells. A small potted plant rests beside the desk, with its leaves animatedly waving farewell as well. This dreamlike scene combines elements of nostalgia and whimsy, capturing the essence of a heartfelt goodbye.
