Twenty years of Spawning

6:16 pm

Congratulations are in order for artist, long-time friend of the HMNH, and our Curator of Ich-theology Ray Troll. Its been 20 years since he drew up a salmon-crossed Jolly Roger bearing the motto “Spawn Til You Die,” and emblazoned it across the chest of a stylin’ black t-shirt. Over the next two decades, that shirt has been sighted on rock-stars and athletes, and popping up in the occasional movie and music video. It has become one of his most recognizable and widespread images.

To mark the anniversary, Ray has re-released the original black-and-white design with a commemorative neck-chop. Check it out via his online store at trollart.com.
