Shop Bluff Weta All-Over: Lifelike New Zealand Nature T-Shirt Design

Don’t say “ooh!”, say “aah!!” for this is one of the best-looking wetas you’ll see. The recently rediscovered Bluff weta can be found in scree and on rocky bluffs at Kaikoura, Mt Somers in mid-Canterbury and all over this artful t-shirt. These ancient insects endemic the Kaikoura ranges and Mt Somers, are insect dinosaurs that you can wear with pride on this unique pixel painted weta t-shirt.

The all-over design features four lively life-size pixel painted portraits of the Bluff weta, once thought lost to history, that roams free in the scree and rocky bluffs of the Kaikouras and Mt Somers in mid-Canterbury. The reference for the pixel paintings are a pair of lively photographs by renowned New Zealand wildlife photographer, Rod Morris, which inspired the idea of having the weta all-over a rock colour and textured t-shirt. The grey marle fabric of the shirt is the rocky texture of a mountain bluff for a comfortable fit. The design is also available on garments in a range of colours for women and kids.
