about Solstice
This piece of artwork is inspired by the changing of seasons. This shirt changes solstices from a white wintery scene, to a vibrant blossoming summer utilizing Ultra Violet inks.

I came up with the idea when I realized that the UV inks respond to the same thing plants and flowers do, sunlight! So I started this whole idea with a single large tree that blossomed, but I kept getting feedback in the critique section saying it looked way to similar to Dan Rules "Tree" design. I kept playing with the idea of plants blossoming and finally it clicked in my mind, that during the solstice areas of the World go from a white winter to a colorful blossoming summer. I figured since my last printed design Homage To The Hunter was a wintery scene, I would continue a similar style. After about a couple of weeks of hashing things out, this is what manifested.

I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to everyone who participated in making this idea come alive!!! :)

Thanks Empiricist! Mine is on its way to me. I knew I had to have it. So far it is one of the BEST uses of UV ink!

THANKS!

Brilliant design, but mine doesn't work!! Only the orange leaves show up, and very faintly... very disappointing :(
