About my design

by Fleck   
Inspired by the Ukranian fable of the painted fox, who one day gets covered in paint and then tricks the animals into thinking he is a king sent from God. This is the story behind the famous Ukranian saying...



"a fool votes low, but the wise always recognize the painted fox for what he is worth ($5)"





A three colour wintery design.

I like the image, but it feels kinda weird on the shirt. Like not cohesive.

I think it'd look better on the back of a shirt so you'd see it when the person walks away.

Thanks. I think it looks better on a white shirt- not entirely sure why I put it on a slate one.

Thanks! Its a pretty obscure fable, I chanced across a kids book of it, printed 1981 in the USSR. It ends with the forest animals finding out the fox is just a fox and tearing him apart. Pretty hardcore for a kids fable.

This is my favorite of your designs so far. I would buy this one, but only on dark grey. I am much too dirty to pull of white.
