50 Foot Wave 'Staring into the Sun' tee - ElRat/Hersh
We all know 50 foot wave is a band that doesn't get anything like the love it deserves. Show your appreciation for the noisy end of the Hersh world, by displaying this ElRat Hersh shirt
I listen to a lot of Hersh music, and am often inspired to draw pictures because of them. I never expected my T-Shirt ideas would be for anyone but me... But here they are, actual Hersh shirts, out of my mind and into the world...

Despite being a music obsessive I'm not one for usually buying merch. Only with this print I was really hooked, couple that with a wonderful cause it was a no brainer.
As its a birthday gift, I've not had chance to wear, but the size looks great and the material feels quality.
Packaged with lots of info and superquick turnaround comes highly recommended 🤘❤️

Thank you so much! I'm pleased you like it. El
....not a lot more to add (other than that the quality of the garment matches the illustration).
So good in fact, that i periodically return to see what new designs are up...
Thank you so much for your kind review! There are definitely more things coming, I have a stack of stuff in my head, as well as a bunch already drawn out, just waiting for me to get some more screens available to put them on. Thanks again for your support! El
Shipped quickly, good quality.
Thank you! I'm pleased you like it.
Good fit love design unfortunately not all text clearly visible in particular ‘my’ and ‘is full off’ think more red ink should have been used but will still wear it with pride. As a fat man who can rarely find merch to fit I appreciate the effort
Hi, thank you for your review. These are hand printed shirts, and perfection is not my aim. Due to the nature of the process, there will be slight differences in all the shirts I make. I do think that particular wording is unclear on all of them, including the one on the product page, I haven't changed it, since it's feel I am aiming for rather than perfection, and more ink wouldn't have changed that. As stated, on site, and with the paperwork included with your shirt, if you are at all unhappy with your purchase, you can always contact me, and I will endeavour to make it right with you. All items can be returned for a full refund, or replacement. I'm sorry you're unhappy, and I'm sorry you didn't come to me with this, so that I could make it right with you. thank you, El
