Product details
It’s not a whale. It’s 609 krill.
From across a room it’s a blue whale gliding past. Up close it’s a swarm of 609 tiny krill, because a blue whale really is made of what it eats. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.
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 of 11 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories, here in the Brights edition. For the one who plans the day around lunch.
About the print
- 18 bright shirt colours, each printed in its own pair of inks: a white or navy drawing, and a bright accent for the story’s details, so the print stands out on the colour.
- The same drawing, count and footnote as the original Small Print tee, 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.
- Printed to order by Printful, direct to garment.
