Pilots Wanted!
As I’m preparing to do some new t-shirt designs for Plane Sailing, who own and operate a beautiful WWII PBY-5A Catalina flying boat, I thought I’d post an illustration & artwork I did for them some time ago. This advert was entirely done in Adobe Illustrator CS4 and donated free of charge as part of the voluntary work I do for them.
I think there may still be a share available so, if you are interested, please check out the Plane Sailing Catalina Operations website.
If you would just like more information on this Duxford-based Catalina, please check out the Catalina Society website for more information. If you are interested in helping to keep this wonderful aeroplane flying you can join the Catalina Society from just £15 per year.
I can’t post the existing t-shirt designs yet as they are still in use for several items of merchandising but you can see one of these (the black and white half-view of ‘PBY-5A Catalina’) in the Catalina Society gift shop.
That’s a very classy design. I especially like it against the white background. The “paper bag” colored t-shirts are a close second. 🙂
Thanks Bccmee. They’ve also printed some mugs from that design which worked quite well. The same design printed on a red t-shirt, oddly enough, always looked horribly wrong. I think they’re going to reprint it on a light blue shirt for the next flying season though, which should be nice too.
