Keep Going Godwit Heavyweight Tee · Big Print

One line. No stops.

A bar-tailed godwit drawn as a single unbroken line that never lifts off, printed big on the front with no words. The line changes colour as it goes, so the whole bird shimmers.

The motto stays off the shirt, here with its footnote: Keep Going.¹

¹ In October 2022 a young bar-tailed godwit flew 13,560 km nonstop, Alaska to Tasmania, in 11 days. Guinness World Records; USGS, 2022

Fig. 4 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the runner, the rebuilder, anyone halfway through something hard.

Watch: 11 days without landing on Deep Planet.

About the print

• The drawing alone, 11.5 in wide, 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.
