Night Swim Medaka Tee, Firefly Medaka Special Edition

Medaka at night, lit from below. A round pool of glow made entirely of halftone dots fades from Firefly pink at the center to violet at the edge, and three medaka swim through it as dark shapes traced in a thin bone rim light. Five fireflies with warm yellow lanterns and a pale crescent moon circle the pool on a fine bone ring. "Firefly Medaka" sits above in blackletter, "Night Swim" below in pink, and "Lux in Tenebris," Latin for "light in darkness," finishes it off.

Anyone who has walked out to the tubs with a flashlight after dark knows this view: the fish hanging in the water, just catching the light.

Every glow is made of solid dots, not fades, so it prints clean and stays sharp wash after wash. Printed direct to garment on the Comfort Colors 1717, a 6.1 oz heavyweight tee in 100% ring-spun cotton, garment dyed for a soft, broken-in feel, with a relaxed fit. Wash cold inside out and tumble dry low, or hang dry.

Sizes S through 4XL in Black and Berry, a deep plum, one price in every size. Part of my After Dark collection, made to order and shipped on its own, separate from any fish.
