Steampunk Jiu-Jitsu and The Manual 2022

May 6, 2022 / 200 /

We’ve just added two brand new products to the store – the Steampunk Jiu-Jitsu long sleeve rashguard and The Manual 2022 T-shirt in navy blue. Buy them at the Meerkatsu store.

The Steampunk idea first came out as a T-shirt in 2015

In this new version I’ve updated the character postures and added textures and colours to simulate a vintage appearance.

The Steampunk genre is pretty cool and is a popular subject in science fiction writing, movies and animations.

The Manual is my homage to highly detailed vintage car repair instruction books

This is actually a sequel to a Tee design I made in 2013 (see it **here**)
