Dead Squirrel shirt-of-the-month shirt #2...Ode to a Narwhal

O narwhal, how I sing to thee,
Thou lovely unicorn of sea;
Full through the frosted Arctic tide,
Thou dost so nimbly float and glide;
The ice floe is thy sparkling home,
In shining corridors to roam;
The frozen air and salted spray,
Is thy sweet perfume, thy bouquet;
Thy dappled coat of lustrous sheen
Could turn the leopard's eyes to green;
Thy supple form, thy lithèd frame,
Could no more sweet creature acclaim;
Thy crown of glory is thine horn,
Thy noble melon to adorn;
It flies before thee as thy prow,
With glory none can disavow;
No beast had e're such a device,
To churn the sea and cleave the ice;
Such pity have I--ah, such ruth,
For all who doth lack such a truth
As thine ingenious forehead tooth

I was about to say that "I'd wear that on a shirt." then I saw the description.
Lawl, it IS a shirt. Is the poem on the back?

Sana Says:

you've brought me some cheer to this gloomy day, I thank you.
I love that you've worked in the band-aid and safety-pin, both common JoJo motifs.

Dellamorte Dellamore Says:

This is really phenomenal!

Robber Baron Says:

I like it, and it is very much you.

Caution Says:

I love the style of this image. : ) Also, Narwhals are just fantastic creatures. The alternate tones each have their own charm
and personality. Great work.

Catleen Says:

NARWHAAALLS! I love them so much, I have no idea why.

Great design, it's very stylistic yet I would have no idea how to describe it to someone. I would like to say 'punk' but it doesn't quiet fit. And eclectic doesn't do it justice. I think you've got your own style here. :)
