The perch, fish skeleton tattoo-style image T-Shirt

The Perch: One of the Backbone series by GeeWhizArt. A bold graphic image adapted from a vintage Victorian engraving, cleaned up, simplified and coloured in blues. THE DESIGN: The fish is a complete fish skeleton on a dark shirt, making a strong tattoo-like image. The wording on this shirt can be changed to anything you want, but Carpe Diem, (Seize The Day in Latin) makes it into a fish joke, ideal for fishermen, biology students, vets, animal lovers, Latin scholars or anyone looking for an inspirational quote! By the way, the fish in the design isn’t actually a carp, it’s a perch, but Perch Diem just doesn’t work! THE DESIGN: The shirt is designed to look best on a dark tee, try it yourself on other colours and styles. The fish image is locked but the text can be customised and personalised, change its colours, size or even the text itself if you like.

Its lines are not perfect, occasionally breaking up, going thin or filling in, and you’ll spot the odd blemish and mark, many of these imperfections have been left in deliberately as they enhance the images character.
