A guy from my city that i know (that is internationally known) makes great art work like that a lot... His name is ROA
His work is all over the world now, but my city, Ghent (Belgium), is full of them because that is where he started long ago in the late 90's... His real name is known here, but nobody will tell it to you as he wants to stay annonymous.
English is not my native language. And it shows. Never heard of octopie. Anyway, on a positive side I’ve at least learned something today…

I lived in that city for 16 years and still work there and come there almost every day although I live now 45min away in the countryside... It's a wonderfull city to live, but it became a very expensive city know as too many know that in the meantime... The remote 150ù² countryside house i live in now costs 50% of the very small 40m² appartment i had there in a not so nice neighborhood, and i have a large garden with it in stead of a tiny balcony over a noisy busy road...

The pun is phonetic. The plural of "octopus" is "octopi", which in English is pronounced the same as "octopie" .... hence the pie with two octopi on top, made specially for the sake of the pun.
Yes, English is a strange language.
