This t-shirt reminds me of a strange B&W flyer you might see taped to the side of a telephone pole in a weird version of the future. It's a bit comic book, a bit high art, but all around funky. The text says:
"From around the age of six, I had the habit of sketching from life. I became an artist,...more and from fifty on began producing works that won some reputation, but nothing I did before the age of seventy was worthy of attention. At seventy-three, I began to grasp the structures of birds and beasts, insects and fish, and of the way plants grow. If I go on trying, I will surely understand them still better by the time I am eighty-six, so that by ninety I will have penetrated to their essential nature. At one hundred, I may well have a positively divine understanding of them, while at one hundred and thirty, forty, or more I will have reached the stage where every dot and every stroke I paint will be alive. May Heaven, that grants long life, give me the chance to prove that this is no lie."
