“Working Man” T-Shirt Design for Sole Surf Company

This is what a business in United States was looking for in their t-shirt design

Concept Summary:
The Working Man Tee pays tribute to the everyday surfer who puts in honest work before chasing waves. This design captures that moment of transition — when the day’s labor is done, and the ocean calls.

Visual Direction:
A lone surfer walks toward the waves at sunset, his tools of the trade — a hammer, wrench, hard hat, or tool belt — left scattered on the sand behind him. His posture is tired but content, representing the balance between hard work and the freedom of the sea.

The scene should feel gritty, hand-drawn, and vintage, as if it were screen-printed from an old surf journal. The style should emphasize rough textures, sun-faded tones, and honest simplicity — no flash, just life after work.
