Mr. Squidley by

A giant squid with crazed eyes – I just had to make him into a tee.

About Melanie Dooley

I have no training in art or design – everything I do is from teaching myself. Most times it works, but sometimes it doesn’t. Every time it is fun and I’m still inspired to keep designing and making.

My first love is jewelry design but I occasionally find or create an image that I love enough to want to wear it or hang it on my wall – and that’s what you will see here on Red Bubble.

    love it…how was it done?

  • I bought this old French engraving – well two actually – one of this fella as he is above, and another of him attacking and attempting to sink a sailing ship.

    I just love his eyes – looks like he’s been to a rave.

    – Melanie Dooley

  • Oh I should add, I simply scanned him, cleaned him up in photoshop, then popped him onto the RB teeshirt template.

    he is very beautiful. do we get to see the other one? how big is the engraving?

  • I think the other one is too elaborate for a tee, but I am happy to share him here:

  • The engravings are smallish – probably undersize A5?

    one more question…how old?

  • All I know is it dates from the 19th century…I’d imagine the 2nd half. Cost 6 euros each :-)

    you know what…it’s actually an octopus not a squid! still beautiful though

  • Aaaah yes, but his family name is ‘Squidley’ – his great-great grandfather was a giant squid and renowned ship sinker.
