Dad’s Got This Seahorse Heavyweight Tee · Big Print

It’s not a seahorse. It’s 520 baby seahorses.

A seahorse drawn in 520 baby seahorses, because in seahorses it’s the father who carries the young and gives birth, printed big on the front with no words. Every baby in it is its own colour, so the whole seahorse shimmers.

The motto stays off the shirt, here with its footnote: Dad’s Got This.¹

¹ In seahorses, the female puts her eggs in the male’s pouch, where he fertilises and carries them until he gives birth. NOAA National Ocean Service

Fig. 18 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the dad who carries everything.

About the print

• The drawing alone, 12 in tall, centred on the front. No motto or footnote on the shirt.
• Shimmer inks: every mark printed in its own colour, flowing along the animal, and drawn a little heavier so it reads from across the room.
• Garment-dyed, so each shirt's colour varies a little.
• Printed to order by Printful, direct to garment.
