Thank you threadless for printing this, I was shocked but very happy it was picked since it had not too many comments (thank you for those that did)!! Perhaps there's someone on staff that really liked it :-)

Maltzmania and Ladykat will receive a shirt of their choice, thanks for modeling!

BTW, it was said in another blog to describe the thinking behind this, so here goes: I just wanted to do something to give hope to the future by showing objects of war evolving into objects of peace. Originally I had no backdrop, but thought that a tree also could resemble a mushroom cloud, so I added the background and did gradients to enhance the transition, and give it a cut-out feeling with the other elements. I also originally designed this to split evenly in the middle in the hopes the zip-up hoody would be offered. The lines are there (to the dismay of some) for separation from a distance, like a six-panel triptych.
