Thanks so much to Threadless for picking this out of so many other worthy designs and another thank you for reprinting it.

Oddly enough, the idea for this design began on a beautiful summer Friday afternoon while I was in a Meijer restroom off of I-94 somewhere between Chicago and Detroit. Said restroom was attempting to be a little classy by hanging some art on the walls, and if I recall correctly, the art in question may have been of ducks... This got me thinking about a toy boat being terrorized by real ducks in a pond. The idea was soon boiled down to a toy boat being terrorized by fake ducks in a tub. Bingo!

:)

Anyway, that's the story, for anyone interested. Sorry about the restroom part, but facts is facts.

Cheers and Threadless rocks!

I meant to do this note when it first got reprinted, but I forgot, and I feel bad when the "about my design" section doesn't get used on the sell page, haha
