Scuba diving horrors


A tourist come-on for the sunken city of R'lyeh hadn't crossed my mind. Fortunately, there are people crazier than me who had such an idea! We're back to horror universe again (ole H.P.Lovecraft won't be forgotten in Surreality Watch), specifically to a part of it that's great for scuba divers looking for really extreme situations.
Strk3, where this and many more cool and humorous designs stem from to conquer the world, actually informs us that "the calamari is quite... good" down there! I can assure you that this gallery's work is quite good, too. If you're looking for smart parody in beautiful designs, you just found it.

One-eyed but richly tentacled


There I was, sure that I wouldn't feature anything with a commercial logo on it, when suddenly I got a bad case of the Cephalopod blues! STRANGEco are well-known "purveyors of the peculiar" after all, and I found that I couldn't resist this weird design (I guess anything tentacled triggers this H.P. Lovecraft/Cthulhu mechanism in my brain!). I love sexy sea monstrosities and this giant squid makes an absolutely great t-shirt. For those who wouldn't want to be caught dead wearing a logo, here's another squidelicious beauty:


You can find these -plus more fine strangeness- in STRANGEco's Zazzle store. And, no, I get nothing in return for being enthusiastic about it, it's all for art's sake! Which reminds me: the artist is the great and famous Reuben Rude and you bet you're gonna love his marvelous website!

The squid thing


It's about time that Surreality Watch features a skateboard. No better place to start than this crazy one-eyed monstrosity from RiseGear. This wacky blue character in a sunburst background gives a taste of "terror-from-the-deep"-ness to urban skating adventures. In short: it's awesome, funny and has the coolest colors. This design is typical of the colorful craziness that dominates RiseGear's work.
