You Are What You Eat Blue Whale Heavyweight Tee · Big Print

It’s not a whale. It’s 609 krill.

A blue whale drawn in a swarm of 609 tiny krill, because a blue whale really is made of what it eats, printed big on the front with no words. Every krill in it is its own colour, so the whole whale shimmers.

The motto stays off the shirt, here with its footnote: You Are What You Eat.¹

¹ An adult North Pacific blue whale eats about 16 tonnes of krill a day in feeding season. Savoca et al., Nature, 2021

Fig. 1 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the one who plans the day around lunch.

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.
