This marine snail is called an abalone. Abalone have been harvested worldwide for centuries as a source of food and decoration. Due to overfishing and the acidification of oceans (thanks, climate change), however, abalone are now a threatened class of organism.
My dear friend, Eileen Bates, has been studying abalone in the Pacific Northwest for her PhD and commissioned me to illustrate their life cycle to be included in one of her scientific publications. Originally, I did a small batch of these shirts for Eileen's friends and family, but after quite a bit of interest, I am happy to make this design available to everyone!
This abalone design is screen-printed by me on Seafoam, Blue Jean, Terracotta, and Ivory Comfort Colors 100% cotton t-shirts with your choice of black, blue, or white ink. The shirts are 100% cotton Comfort Colors unisex tees, which I chose because they are sturdy, soft, pre-shrunk, and some of my favorite on the market.
I have made additional sizes available to select when placing your order but please know that they may take longer to print and ship as I would be printing these to order. I greatly appreciate you patience and understanding!
