Why do giant squids get all the props lately? Don't their smaller brethren need love, too? This bantam cephalopod may not be wrestling any whales or devouring any beachgoers, but it's got charms all its own. The sensitive blue eyes...the gracefully tapered head...the smell, which we're sure is delightful. Quick, somebody throw it back in the water before it suffocates!

This shirt was designed by: Demanda Tension, a St. Louis artist who works at a big museum on a big hill, teaching short people how to look at and make art. She's been in a few gallery shows around town, with aspirations of infiltrating the wider art world someday. In the meantime, she's infiltrated the Shirt.Woot world. We're easier prey.

Wear this shirt to: make octopi feel insecure about having two fewer limbs.

Don’t wear this shirt to: go whale-watching. All they'll see is prey.

This shirt tells the world: "There's a squid in my bucket, dear (INSERT NAME), a squid."

We call this color: And I Will Name My Squid Heather Gray.
