Octopus

Octopus from Iuter

I adore how these tees make use of negative space and just a single color to make a massive impact. A brilliant example of less is more. With just the tentacles as a visual guide this could be Zoidberg, Cthulhu, Kraken or any number of things. My biggest problem is choosing which color to get.

The Immoral Compass

The Immoral Compass by Phil Wheeler

Beware the man that uses the immoral compass as a guide in life. Mimicking an old illustration of a compass, this shows us that sinful choices are everywhere. Keeping with the nautical theme tentacles are entwined throughout, which is vaguely unsettling, in much the same way that sea monsters on old maps are. It is the center of the helm where it all comes together, with a little shading giving the impression of an eye staring at you. Intentionally creepy and perfect for this design.

Ok so technically this is a sweatshirt, not a tee, but I could not resist featuring it. The linework is just incredible. It is the subject matter that really grabbed my attention though. At first glance it is just another animal skull design yet a closer look reveals a lot more. The most striking thing is the five extra eyes on the forehead, really taking the third eye idea to another level. When you add in the tentacles, arrows, moon, stars and everything else, then contain it in a coffin shape you end up with a truly interesting artwork that is fully open to individual interpretation.

Decimation

This reminds me of those old pulpy science fiction covers. A fire breathing, tentacled, alien monster is on a destruction frenzy and killing everyone in its path. The soldier crouching behind the car with his gun at the ready looks so insignificant compared to his adversary. It makes me want to know his story. Will he survive, save the day, or get fried along with the others?

Sweet Child O’Mine

Time to add another tee to the denial files. That's right you can't own this creepy number as it has been sold out for a while. Guess you will just have to spend your time wondering just what the heck is in that baby carriage.
