Pirates Versus Ninjas – where it all began.
I was wondering if this reference was too obscure, but then my brother walked past and exclaimed, “Cool! Ninja paramecium!” and I knew my work was done.
P.S. I spent an hour drawing the gun that would be thrust through the pirate’s belt.
Just when I had proudly adjusted it into place, a helpful passer-by remarked that the gun I had drawn was actually a derringer and not suited to the era* (a derringer is more of a Wild West gun).
After I had finished disposing of his body, I then spent another hour drawing an old-fashioned pistol, which ended up in the final picture.
See here for the difference.
* Surprisingly, he had no problem with the concept of unicellular organisms wearing clothes.
Which side would YOU be on? Pirate, or ninja?

Please note that on dark t-shirts, the design will have a grittier, more reflective appearance, due to the greater amounts of ink used. If you are looking for a smoother effect, please choose a pale-coloured shirt.
And of course, if you are not happy with the print quality, please contact RedBubble as soon as possible with a photograph of the print so that your issue can be resolved.

Now that’s a take on the eternal struggle* that I hadn’t thought of before
*I’ve always believed that the battle has raged since the beginning of history, but I didn’t think it went THAT far back.

Oh so very cute! And the level of detail you’ve included must have been a pain, but it’s paid off! (and who gives a toss about anachronisms in guns anyhoo?) Great stuff ET! x
