Loads of Cute New Handprinted T-Shirts at SquidFire!

SquidFire’s latest batch of tees hasn’t made much of a splash around the t-osphere, which is pretty surprising since they seem so popular! I know I like them, at least. Maybe they’re focusing more on their retail clients (of which they have many, I believe) instead of their online storefront. But that’s just speculation. Enough jibber jabber, though. On with the tees!

Venus Flytrap NEW! at SquidFire (also available for women)

One thing’s for sure: SquidFire haven’t tired of tentacles! And they probably never will, seeing as how tentacles are related to their namesake, the awe-inspiring squid. You might be saying to yourself, ‘But Joe, those aren’t tentacles! They’re plants!’ And to you I’d say, ‘I know that.’ But they’re like the tentacles in some of their other t-shirts like Attack, which is newly available in a limited edition colorway. But my favorite of their new tees?

Ant Colony strong>NEW! at SquidFire (also available for women)

Ant Colony. Why is this my favorite? Because it reminds me of SimAnt. I used to love expanding my colony throughout the house. It was kind of disconcerting to get your ant electrocuted by the electrical socket, though.

Squidfire—First Sale Ever

in Squidfire, on sale and t-shirts

Howdy, folks. Have you ever found yourself saying, “You know, that SquidFire sure is a neato t-shirt store. It would really make my day if their shirts were a bit cheaper. Say, twenty percent cheaper! Boy, that would be the bee’s knees.” If so, then A) you need to update your lingo unless B) you use the phrase genuo-ironically and C) today is your lucky day regardless of the colloquialisms you choose to use!

Yep yep, SquidFire is having their first ever blowout clearance sale, which comes to an end on Saturday, March 1st. All mens’ and women’s t-shirts priced at a reduced $20! And if you decide to buy more than one shirt, shipping is free.

It’s not just the t-shirts, either: all polos, messenger bags, thermals, and boat necks are $5 cheaper with free shipping. Hoodies and jackets ship free, too, and they’re $10 cheaper! Boy, I hope the coast guard gets here quick—I’m drowning in a sea of savings!

Okay, that was pretty lame of me. Don’t take it out on SquidFire, though—hit ‘em up and take their stuff! Well, not “take”—you’re still paying for it—but you’re paying less than usual, which must count for something.

Expensiveness: $5.00 off all t-shirts (mens’ and women’s), polos, messenger bags, thermals, and boat necks; $10.00 off all hoodies and jackets
Should You Hurry: This being a leap year, March 1st is technically one day later than it usually is, but don’t let that catch you off guard.

Pelicans? Pelicans.

Smells a bit fowl to me.

Hah. See what I did there?

Actually, I should probably avoid making stupid animal jokes simply for the sake of punnery. I may one day encounter a repugnant chicken, after all—and just where would I be then? Punless, that’s where: north of Tongue-Tied, east of Mumblin’ and Fumblin’, west of Johndoesnotusewordscleverlyville. Man, I hate that town. It’s like they have a grudge or something. All I did was accidently introduce a strain of West Nile Virus into their marina.

Hey, speaking of birds, have you noticed that the pelican is starting to carve a place for itself in the shirtosphere?¹ It’s true! I first noticed the phenomenon while browsing SquidFire’s new winter lineup of hoodies and jackets.

Pelican Hoodie at SquidFire: $45.00

The design is straightforward enough—sure to please any ornithologist who harbors a soft spot for—well, for harbors. SquidFire seems content enough to admire the pelican from dry shores, but a certain other clothing line does not appear to find this adequate.

Angler Fish - Kevin Sherry - SquidFire (men’s)

Angler Fish NEW! at SquidFire $25

Aah! It’s a moonquake! Not really, it’s just an angler fish! It’s still pretty scary, though. And the little fish that it’s about to gobble up is really cute. Which combination adds up to make Angler Fish one top-notch t-shirt design.

Angler Fish NEW! at SquidFire $25

If you go to many (or few) independent clothing boutiques, it’s not unlikely that you’ve run into some of SquidFire’s designs, potentially without even knowing it! They’re getting stocked by lots of awesome shops. Just a week ago I saw a large selection of their t-shirts at Missing Link in Portland, OR, which is primarily a vinyl toy store, but have a lot of clothing and reading material as well. It’s really great, so I recommend you visit if you’re ever in Portland!

SquidFire: New Site, New Designs, New Awesomeness!

In addition to their clean new website, SquidFire have released new items for all of their customers: men, women, children, even babies! Their designs are getting more playful, ever cuter… and increasingly cautionary. Allow me to demonstrate with some of my favorites:

Deep Space & Gargoyles NEW! at SquidFire

SquidFire artist Kevin Sherry has been playing around with designs that sprout from the bottom hem for a while (see Vines), and Gargoyles is the most recent of these. It is also a direct threat: unless you support small business, SquidFire will released their well-trained gargoyle fleet on your hometown. Deep Space, on the other hand, warns against spacebound curiosity.

Fairy Tale & Deep Sea NEW! at SquidFire

Among the prominent appearances of another of Kevin’s favorite themes, cephalopods, Deep Sea stands out. Although it is similar to their Deep Sea Discovery tote bag, I feel that the design on the tee is better composed. And a word of advice: always keep a larger net in reserve… just in case. Just as seriously, Fairy Tale seems almost to be a response to the recently discovered phenomenon of happiness-sensing wolves.

I’ve been a big fan of SquidFire ever since I discovered them a little over a year ago. They’re the home of one of my favorite t-shirts ever, My Octopi, which they sadly no longer sell. You can, however, get it as a polo or as a tank top in the original blue.

But that isn’t really the point of this post. The point is their Maze t-shirt, which they released as part of their Winter ‘06 line:
