Artist request-I want a meme

CaptAmehrican thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Jun 26th 2020 at 7:13am ET

I lack the artistic ability to make this happen but I know we have shirt designers and such here. I want a particular image and it by the way would make a great shirt I would be thrilled if meh sold.
I want the words" Stay at least a fathom away, prevent the unfathomable"
I want a gordons fisherman style fisherman seperated by a line(rope) from a naval captain.
Ideally in my head writing and images would be white on a blue background

Anyone feel like being nice and making this a thing for me?
Fyi for those who ask a fathom is 6 feet in nautical

  Maybe put this req on Mediocritee?
  
  Also maybe ask one of the VolMods to add “t-shirt design” to the topic title?
  
  Might get the artistic people’s attention more quickly?
  Unfortunately, you could do this yourself and come out with something better than anything I could create. No talent or training or skill here. : (

- @CaptAmehrican @f00l @sammydog01 maybe a mermaid in place of the Gorton’s dude? Adds a little extra layer of meaning to the caption …

Very clever idea! You (and whomever designs this for you) could also likely sell it on schooner bums and several of the tall ship forums I’d bet too.

Paging @ACraigL @jasneko (see top of thread - she wants a t-shirt designer)

Are there any other t-shirt designers on here?

- @Kidsandliz Thanks for thinking of me! I love helping out and collabing, but unfortunately I am very short on time right now - I have a list of shirts/designs/projects on the backburner already and this sounds like it would take a bit of extra time as well, not being something I draw often. Hope someone else can help!

What is a Gordon’s fisherman style fisherman? This makes me want to take a shot at it but I don’t know what that is

- @canuk I believe it’s “Gorton’s” - google it and get thousands of images …

Do you want it a realistic style or like a line-art/cartoony style?

  Germany:. Stay 6 wurst’s apart
