I rarely design or draw anything around here, but here’s a shirt design I put together that I actually like a lot. (Drittens wears his all the time!) I made this one as part of our _Dreams & Nightmares of Empire_ project, which happened to feature a lot of octopi (octopuses? octopodes?). It’s not popular - over the years I think we’ve sold less than 5 of these things? ~kim

P.S. In response to a question about the googly eyes - the eyes are not actual googly eyes pasted on to a shirt; the eyes are pictures of googly eyes. Thanks! ~k.

Oh, also there’s also a small picture of Pinky wearing her walking backpack on the reverse-side, near the collar.

The shirt itself:

• Unisex “regular fit” is standard length, classic style t-shirt for everyday wear. It’s well-suited for a range of body types

• This soft, high quality t-shirt is made by Bella + Canvas (USA, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras). Here are their company statements on factory transparency (https://www.bellacanvas.com/factory-sustainability), corporate responsibility (https://www.bellacanvas.com/corporate-responsibility), and environmentally conscious manufacturing (https://www.bellacanvas.com/eco-manufacturing).

• 100% airlume combed and ring-spun cotton (the heather colors contain polyester)

• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²)

• Pre-shrunk fabric

• Side-seamed construction

• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping

• Please see the measurements illustration below for sizing information.

This item is made as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making things-on-demand (instead of in “bulk”) also vastly decreases efficiency while increasing per-unit costs, but it does help reduce overproduction and waste, which we think is very important! :)
