If you’ve been reading our blog, you’ll know that we like octopus trees. Sven Palmowski (a.k.a. a.mar.illo) is a kindred spirit.

Ü by Sven Palmowski is currently in the running for ‘Shirt of the Day’ at Design by Humans!
One of Sven’s submissions into the ongoing Design by Humans t-shirt design competition, Ü, features what is clearly an octopus tree. Just look at those squiggly roots tentacles! Sven seems to have octopus trees on the brain:

Wooden Souls by Sven Palmowski
Obviously one style of octopus tree is not enough! Even Sven’s faceless octopus trees in Wooden Souls are emotive, but that only makes sense because octopuses can ‘express their emotions by changing the color, pattern or texture of their skin to match their mood‘. How sweet is that? (The answer is: very.)
If you like Sven’s offbeat but distinctively beautiful work, be sure to check out the rest of his online portfolio and submissions on Design by Humans. They’re wonderfully expressive.










Thanks again for the feature, Joe:)
Finally my “treepeople” made it on designbyhumans.com*
…so hopefully one day we´ll see more octopus trees on shirts like on yours:
Great work!
