Product details

It’s not a squid. It’s 700 lights.

A firefly squid drawn in 700 lights, for a squid that makes its own blue light. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.

¹ Firefly squid make their own blue light, no borrowed bacteria, and each spring they crowd Japan’s Toyama Bay to spawn. Gimenez et al., Scientific Reports, 2016

Fig. 24 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the one who lights up the room.

About the print

  • Large front print centred on the chest, with the small Deep Planet emblem at the upper right.
  • Print area 15 × 18 in on sizes L–3XL; Printful scales it proportionally to 11.5 × 13.8 in on S and M.
  • 18 shirt colours. On 5 of them the design is printed in a single ink, cream or navy, so every mark stays easy to see.
  • Printed to order by Printful, direct to garment.
