Shonen Safari
Moonlife
Moonlife. A tardigrade in sunglasses lounges on a folding deck chair on the Moon, sipping a cocktail with a little paper umbrella while the Earth shines in the black sky. Fiery manga lettering and a katakana sound effect frame this Shonen Safari artwork, presented as a large front print on a black T-shirt. A holiday from the microscopic world.
What caught our eyeTardigrades, or water bears, are about half a millimetre long. Without water a tardigrade curls into a dry ball and slows its body almost to a stop, a state that can last for decades and ends within hours once water returns.

Field notes
The joke is the scale: an animal you need a microscope to see gets a full beach holiday, with deck chair, sunglasses and cocktail, on a grey cratered Moon with a small lit moon base on the left. The tardigrade in the print is a playful character, much larger than a real one and not an anatomical plate.
The lettering MOONLIFE is built from red, orange and yellow shards with a blue shadow, in the style of a manga title page. Next to the straw a katakana sound effect adds to the mood. Real tardigrades are famous for surviving very dry and very cold conditions, but the scene is pure fiction.
The print is large and centred on the front of a black t-shirt. It is an illustration, not an identification guide. Part of Shonen Safari by WildLifeThings, for science lovers, manga fans and anyone who wants a holiday on the Moon.
