Hand cut and printed Lino block t-shirt.
Gamblin Textile Ink
Gildan Soft-style - Preshrunk - Cotton
The design is based on the Greta Gargoyle song 'Latimeria'. It depicts real life young naturalist Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer pushing around a Coelacanth in a wheelbarrow in 1938, South Africa. After fishermen brought the strange fish to her attention she strove to preserve it by trying to bring it to a cold storage facility and a morgue with no luck, resorting finally to getting the specimine taxidermied. It was later confirmed to be the famous Coelacanth, thought to have been exinct for 66 million years. The species of fish was subsequently named after her and the Chalumna River it was found on: Latimeria Chalumnae.
The song is about the majesty of the fish itself and Marjorie's endevours to preserve and revere it.
Not a monster. Not a prize.

These shirts are hand printed with lino-blocks with high quality oil based textile ink. Please note that small imperfections are part of the lino t-shirt experience! However if the print is not to my standard of quality I will print another one and then post the misprinted shirt here at a discounted rate.
The ink needs a few days to cure completely so I will be shipping/ delivering your shirt one week after printing just to be safe. You’ll be notified when the shirt ships out. When it arrives it will be good to wear/ wash/ whatever. :)
Each shirt will be mailed with a random paper lino-print that I have on hand!
Shipping is included for anywhere in Canada. If you’re outside Canada send me a message and I’ll figure out shipping for you. thecatalogue@gmail.com
Thank you!
