Here is what the t-shirt looks like (they simplified my drawings’ colors and details for easier printing):
I have been and will continue to be extremely busy for the next few months, due to the publishing of my book, the creation of the VCS, and helping coordinate National Save the Vaquita Day (July 6). I may not be able to post as many things during this time. But believe me, I am going to have a lot of stories to tell when it’s all over.
Friday, May 17 was Endangered Species Day 2013. As a donation to our beautiful world, please buy a Vaquita t-shirt at https://campaign.customink.com/savethevaquita.
To my delight, my campaign is currently featured in the “Trending Campaigns” section of Custom Ink’s home page, https://campaign.customink.com! Help keep it there by purchasing one for only around $25! They also make a great gift. 25% of profits will go to ¡Viva Vaquita!, and the rest will go towards the printing of my book. The book will be featured in at least two aquariums’ gift shops and will be at many tables for National Save the Vaquita Day! Look for further updates on all of these things in the future. If you have not already, follow my blog (look in the right sidebar) to receive all new posts by email, just so you don’t miss anything.
I’ll admit, I got a little teary-eyed after looking at this picture. Please don’t let the Vaquita follow in the footsteps of its unfortunate cousin, the Baiji. You can help by purchasing a t-shirt here: https://campaign.customink.com/savethevaquita.
Using my own artwork, I have created a new Vaquita t-shirt with Custom Ink. Thanks to a comment by Karle from Custom Ink, I have discovered the Campaign feature. It is basically what I thought the Signup Sheet was originally. I have created a campaign, so now anyone in the world can purchase one and get it right to their door. The campaign ends on June 17, 2013 at 11:59 pm, and 100% of profits will go to the Vaquita. Please buy one and tell everyone you know to do the same, so I can reach my goal of 50 shirts sold! Post it on Facebook and Twitter, too! Here is the campaign: https://campaign.customink.com/savethevaquita. Thanks.
*Unfortunately, this is not available to everyone as I thought. It does not work exactly as I had originally figured. Instead, I will receive all of the shirts, I believe paying with my own money, and physically distribute it to the signers, having them pay me. Sorry to anyone who wanted to get one. This will only be available to members of the Muskwa Club because I can send all the shirts to William, and he can then pay me when he sells them to his club members. If you really want a shirt, contact me and we might be able to work it out. Updated 3/15/13, 10:33 E.T.
I believe William Whittenbury and the Muskwa Club have what I like to call, “Vaquita Syndrome,” a disorder where you constantly form ideas to help the Vaquita, and end up with so many that you don’t know if you can do them all. But so far, they’ve been doing everything they planned and have done a great job doing it. One idea they had was to sell my t-shirt from Custom Ink. I thought about it, and remembered Custom Ink’s signup sheet feature. I set it up, and now anyone can buy the t-shirt! All you have to do is go to this link: http://www.customink.com/signup/2nvhf7s2 and fill out your name, size, quantity, shipping information, and payment information. The price should be cheaper than $20 due to it being a bulk order, when I order them all, everyone that ordered one should get one at their door. This is how I think and hope it works, and if you have any problems, please let me know immediately in the comments. Remember, the deadline is May 1st 2013.
I would also like to mention that amazing artist Memuco has agreed to illustrate my book’s cover! Thanks!

I just received my self-made t-shirt from Custom Ink! It turned out awesome and I will wear it everywhere to promote my blog and the Vaquita! I recommend using Custom Ink for all your t-shirts.
