Leviathan blackletter on black T-Shirt

I started my journey with calligraphy in 2014, around the same time I began reading Moby Dick. Why are these related? As I learned more about the beauty of calligraphy and the various styles and tools available, I was plunging headlong into Melville's novel. My interest in the history of whaling started to pique and I researched books on Melville's great work which lead me to "The Whale" by Philip Hoare. I recommend reading his book if you are a fan of Moby Dick. I was practicing various quotes from Moby Dick and experimenting with different Blackletter hands when I saw the t-shirt Mr. Hoare was wearing in his book jacket. I contacted him and unfortunately, the shop that produced this shirt for him closed. I decided at this point to use my calligraphy skills to make my own shirt, and offer it for sale to other folks out there who may have a similar interest.
