About my design

"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

Perhaps, she'll die."



Well, we're about to find out what happens when she swallows that horse.



8 colors - standard printing on Blue Jean colored shirt.

Shouldn't there be a goat? I thought she opened her throat, and swallowed a goat.

There have been a number of versions of the song. I thought that I remembered a goat in there somewhere, too, but that verse was nowhere to be found on the version of the song that I looked up.

p.s. A big fat THANK YOU goes out to all those who helped me out in the Critique stages of this shirt!

If the shirts were too similar, Threadless wouldn't have put this one into the running. Though the base of the inspiration is the same, the two shirts are vastly different stylistically and story-wise and appeal to different types of people.

its a good idea, but the illustration is rather...tacky.



sorry, it just doesnt sit right on a shirt, maybe on a postcard or something?

Nice execution, I agree the B&W/color contrast works great.
