I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, quietly pleased with myself: I was asked to do the back of the t-shirt design for Chillswim’s Coniston end-to-end swim – a lovely swim of about 5.25 miles, the full length of lake Coniston in Cumbria. I swam it last year and I’m swimming it again this year, only the difference is this time I don’t intend to wear a wetsuit. And so you can imagine I was a just a bit excited to be asked to create the design for the back of the t-shirt.
The blue-background / orange tow-floats was the first version before I realized the floats are going to be pink this year (which is also highly exciting) but I do like the complimentary colours of blue and orange so I’m posting this one too…

Great design. Love them both but agree with you about the orange–bold and striking. N.
I like it. I wonder how some of your other art might look on a shirt.
Thanks! This was drawn a bit differently – flat colours no half-tones, which will work better for printing
