Indie Squid Kid

design by Ross Zietz

Hey look, it’s another shirt from Threadless! Clearly inspired by The Pirates of the Caribbean movies, “Kraken Snackin’” depicts the fate that befalls so many unfortunate sailing vessels. There’s a lot to like about this design; the blood-red tentacles, the massive disc of the full moon, the snapping rigging lines, the tiny airborne sailor…but I think my favorite detail is the lone parrot winging its way to freedom.

Guys and Girls Tees (Asphalt Regular Fit) still available in all sizes for $20. Buy it now from Threadless!

This is the first of many cephalopod designs from Threadless that will be featured on T-shirt Tuesday. I also think this was the first Threadless shirt I ever saw. I don’t own it because either a) I’m afraid the color doesn’t quite look right on me, or b) it’s never in stock when I decide the buy it anyway. One of these days it shall be mine!

Buy it from Threadless

Also available as a print!

Note: At the time of this writing, both the shirt (in adult sizes) and the print are sold out. However, it has been reprinted several times over the years, so keep trying…I know I will!

UPDATE: Threadless has reprinted this design, as of 8/17/2009. Get yours while supplies last!
