Octopus Golden Retriever Long Sleeve Shirt
$59.00
A quiet meeting between two remarkably perceptive creatures — one of the land, one of the deep.
Part of the Rocking Lucas Mythos of the Deep collection, this premium cotton long-sleeve piece features our original Octopus & Golden Retriever illustration, created by hand in ink and carefully digitized for textile printing.
The Golden Retriever is gentle by nature, intelligent, affectionate and remarkably attuned to those around it. The octopus shares that same perceptive nature: highly intelligent, curious, sensitive and deeply aware of its surroundings.
In the illustration, they come together in a quiet embrace — one a devoted companion of the land, the other an extraordinary creature of the deep.
Their bond is a celebration of intelligence with gentleness, curiosity with trust, and the quiet sensitivity of creatures whose connection to the world around them runs deeper than we often realize.

THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK
The Octopus & Golden Retriever composition began as an original Rocking Lucas illustration, drawn by hand in ink and carefully digitized for textile printing.
The small rectangular placement is intentional. Rather than filling the entire garment with the illustration, the artwork sits quietly at the center of the cream fabric — allowing the drawing, negative space and silhouette of the piece to exist together.
The signature Mythos of the Deep patch on the sleeve completes the design.
ABOUT MYTHOS OF THE DEEP
Mythos of the Deep imagines a world where dogs and creatures of the sea exist together — sometimes swimming beside one another, sometimes merging, transforming or finding unexpected companionship beneath the waves.
Each pairing explores something the two creatures share: instinct, strength, intelligence, sensitivity, movement or devotion.
At its heart, the collection is about a simple idea:
Love is deep and giant like the ocean.
