Throwing Muses 'Bywater' Fish - Meet Freddie Mercury (Rescued Misprint)

🎨 One of a Kind Rescued Misprint - Only from ElRat Designs

*MISPRINT RESCUE* - The TM lettering print is a little patchy, but Freddie Mercury swims on! Please check the photos, this is the actual shirt you are buying. These rescued misprints are hand tied and bleached by ElRat, they have been washed during the process, some more than once, they've have had an imperfect journey to get to where they are, but they are beautiful and unique, just like all of us.

Design: Bywater - the moustached amputee goldfish
T-Shirt: Black, reverse tie-dyed (one of a kind pattern)
Print: Orange ink with patchy TM lettering
Size: Medium
Status: Rescued misprint - imperfect but beautiful

🐠 Who's Goldfish in the Toilet?

You've heard the story, heard the song, now you can wear the most excellent goldfish that is Freddie Mercury, in all his ElRat-envisaged glory. Even with his slightly imperfect lettering, Freddie Mercury is still heading out to sea on this unique tie-dye beauty. This rescued misprint proves that art doesn't have to be perfect to be loved. Sometimes the most interesting things are the ones that didn't go according to plan.

🎵 I listen to a lot of Hersh music...

and I am often inspired to draw pictures because of them. Sometimes pictures are just pictures, but sometimes they become T-Shirts. This drawing really made me laugh when he first appeared on the page, I didn't expect to capture his character so well. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time.

🎨 Out of the chaos of my Mind

One of the original four T-shirts that I created for Kristin Hersh. This rescued misprint shows that even imperfect art has beauty - the patchy lettering adds character to an already characterful fish. At ElRat Designs, we believe in rescuing the imperfect rather than scrapping it.

📏 Music is for everyone, and merch should be too (S-6XL Available)

At ElRat Designs, I want as many people as possible to be able to support the things they love. That's why we print every size up to 6XL - because every one deserves to wear their art.

Gorgeous

I love it, the colours are so beautiful and the material is so soft. I honestly can't tell where the fault in the print is, it looks perfect to me. I have a few of ElRat's other KH pieces and everything I've seen so far is fabulous.

Thank you for your kind review. I have to say, mostly when I look at those, I can't see the fault either. But I guess at the time of printing something was bothering me about it. So, it's nice to be able to do something a little different with them, & give people something unique. Thank you for your ongoing support, it really means a lot to me. El

Most amazing merch with a personal touch. Brilliant!!

Thank you, for your kind review. Amazing people deserve amazing merch, and in a world of mass production, I try to send every package as I'd like to receive it. El
