Lux in Tenebris Medaka Long Sleeve, Firefly Medaka Special Edition

The Lux in Tenebris design on a long sleeve, for cold nights at the pond and the whole dark season. "Lux in Tenebris" is Latin for "light in darkness," a nod to the firefly in my name. A night moth with pink eyespots sits on top of an oval Victorian cameo. Inside, my engraved medaka swims beneath a crescent moon and stars, two fireflies glow in pink halftone beside the banner, and "Firefly Medaka" crowns it all in blackletter with a thin pink outline. Gothic and a little dark academia, with no skulls needed.

The medaka is engraved from the same measured drawing as my field guide tee, so the fins sit where they do on a real rice fish.

Printed direct to garment in bone and Firefly pink on the Comfort Colors 6014, a garment-dyed long sleeve tee in 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton, with a classic fit and ribbed cuffs. It layers well under a flannel or a hoodie. Wash cold inside out and tumble dry low, or hang dry.

The long sleeve is made for autumn, from the first cool night in September through Halloween. It has a classic fit, ribbed cuffs, and 6.1 oz garment-dyed cotton that is light enough to layer.

Black, sizes S through 3XL, one price in every size. Part of my After Dark collection, made to order and shipped on its own by my print partner, separate from any fish.
