New T-shirt Design I've been working on

Postby Fishfreak911 » July 19th, 2012, 12:40 am

So I finally got my T-shirt design put together and printed. I'm stoked! I worked hard on this for several months. My buddy Jeff is the artist-He drew the hand and the fish seperately. I did the overall design, the fonts, merged the hand and the fish and digitally altered the picture as I saw fit. I also added the fly & tippet.

Background story:
For those who don't know, Jeff is a BIG musky fiserman. We are always taking stabs at each other about each one's fishing habits. I bust him on how quickly musky run out of steam, and he makes a silent hand gesture back at me (like what you see in many small stream trout pics) This hand gesture, which was a total slam on small wild trout, became my logo and I am proud of it!

I probably don't have to spell out the meaning of the shirt's phrase to this group, but for the record, "Die For The Fly" refers to the purist mentality of only flyfishing once hooked on this great sport!
A flyfisher will die fly fishing. Note- I am NOT advocating killing trout whilst you are a skeleton!

This is pretty cool to finally see the end product though. I will be selling these up at the FFF Fair in Sept at my booth. I will try to get them up on my website soon, but I have no shopping cart feature yet.

Enjoy!

Ok, I'm first in line. Let us know when we can pounce on these. Very cool design. You better stock up ;) . Ya, about waiting for Calvin Klein to call, it might be a while :doh: .

Isn't a Musky just a glorified Pike Minnow :twisted: ? Actually Musky and Pike, on a fly rod, are on my bucket list.

Nice looking shirts Greg, but I think you would get a lot more interest if you had a few Hooters Girls modeling them.
And I agree with Pete. I don’t think you should give up your day job hoping that Calvin Klein will call!!!

Of course I like the orange one. But, you don't want me modeling it. Well done on the graphics.

I think you can safely order a bunch more to keep in stock - I don't think they will sit on the shelf for long. (save an L in black for me!) :D
