Catalina 003

A sailfish, hooked up,  jumps out of the ocean as an angler on the small fishing boat lowers his pole to reel in line.  The same image, in a much smaller scale was expertly designed to go on the front of the shirt, with the line ending and starting in the air so it did not need to be perfectly matched. These block printed designs were dramatic, generally using only three to four colors.

A southern California company, Catalina created a series of sporty designs with carefully placed smaller images on the front and larger, bold images on the back.
