Description: A weathered Pacific-coast souvenir graphic inspired by the remote character of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. Layered cedar forests, island silhouettes, ocean horizon and a towering coastal landmark create the feeling of an old expedition shirt discovered in a Canadian outfitter shop. The faded ink, restrained wilderness palette and “Pacific Coast • 2009” detail give it that lived-in vintage travel-shirt character—made for anyone drawn to remote islands, rugged coastlines and the wild side of British Columbia.
