the moral...

about Beasts Of England

All t-shirts are equal, but some are more equal than others.

littlem on Dec 10 '07 at 10:15am

I wanted to be first but... great job. I love it. Your work always inspires me to do better things.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you - high time you got another print, and this shirt is fantastic. I love Orwell.

And hey, maybe this will spark enough interest to get your other two shirts printed... I'm still lusting after them. :)

Vindemiatrix, send me your email address (lost it from before) - I have some stuff for you... 4thebetterdays@gmail.com

Ugh! If only I looked even halfway decent in light-colored tees. This is an incredible design based on one of my favorite books. Maybe I'll be able to catch it in reprints in a color more suiting my style.

Vindemiatrix on Dec 10 '07 at 3:40pm

Ooooh! This sounds good. *emails*

Bramish on Dec 10 '07 at 3:43pm

Nice one SImon! We're print buddies this week!

mikemills on Dec 10 '07 at 3:54pm

Right on - who'd of thought? Congrats again, bro!

tortuga! on Dec 10 '07 at 5:04pm

Nice design! I think it's interesting how you only show two legs of each of the animals.

kablukiw on Dec 10 '07 at 5:59pm

Four legs good! Two legs bad!

Napoleon is always right!

It's a reference to one of the greatest books ever, Animal Farm by George Orwell, I'm not trying to be snooty but I suggest you read it, just because it's an amazing book.

Four legs good! Two legs BETTER!

I love it!

Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,

Beasts of every land and clime,

Hearken to my joyful tidings

Of the golden future time.

Soon or late the day is coming,

Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,

And the fruitful fields of England

Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Rings shall vanish from our noses,

And the harness from our back,

Bit and spur shall rust forever,

Cruel whips no more shall crack.

Riches more than mind can picture,

Wheat and barley, oats and hay,

Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels

Shall be ours upon that day.

Bright will shine the fields of England,

Purer shall its waters be,

Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes

On the day that sets us free.

For that day we all must labour,

Though we die before it break;

Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,

All must toil for freedom's sake.

Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,

Beasts of every land and clime,

Hearken well and spread my tidings

Of the golden future time.

Wow, you are incredibly talented. Do you ever do freelance work? I am opening a Smoke Shop in Oakland, and would be interested in discussing with you the logo that I have in mind. I don't have a lot of money, and I am not really sure how this stuff works, but I am just blown away by your work. Please let me know if you would consider this...I think that you would do an amazing job.
