Threadless.com Submission - Cutter Fish

A little back ground on where this design came from:
As I walk into work everyday, I pass by a pool hall that features bands so they have different band posters up every week. This last week there has been this poster that had a fish skeleton on it, but it was done in a sort of Surreal painting style with a wheel attached to it's head. Every time I saw this poster I kept seeing in my head a sort of fish ship thing sailing on an ocean of blue. So I researched a few old style ships and fish skeletons to create what was stuck in my head. 2 days later, after working on it during lunches and a couple hours one of the 2 nights I came up with what you see in the link above.

Thanks, hope you like it.

littlem: I've been busy with work, and family. I just got back around to cleaning up my blogs since the great blog disaster of 06. I plan to not blog as much as I used to so I can hopefully design more.

I wish. But no I was just getting the Cutter Fish Story blog into a blog that would have the product in the coding. It won't let you add a product to an old blog. Or at least a blog that is older than the shirt. So I started a new one so I could delete my other product related blog I had. Now that I think of it I should have just copy and pasted the story into that blog. Oh well.
