Sailfish

“Sailfish” was created as the official 2026 MegaCon Orlando meetup shirt for RSVLTS⁠. When asked to design “something Florida,” I wanted to capture a side of the state that felt authentic to me by focusing on its natural beauty and coastal energy. At the center of the design is the Atlantic sailfish, Florida’s official state saltwater fish, painted in the electric pinks, oranges, and golds of a Gulf Coast sunset. Framing the piece are the state tree, the sabal palm, and the state flower, the orange blossom, layered in vivid blues against a deep ocean-toned background that makes the entire design glow. Equal parts tropical, bold, and nostalgic, “Sailfish” became more than just a shirt design. Finding out it had been chosen as the official meetup shirt was an unforgettable moment and one of my proudest as a Florida artist.
