this is all kinds of awesome. I love the Shell stylings.

I don't think it needs the light green border tho, just have it fade into the green of the tee.

Gretel Girl

wow.... even the blades of grass at base of tree are identical to The Giving Tree book cover! Love the little boy trying to hold on from being taken.

yep, I wanted it to be a very close parody, but still a parody so hopefully there's no copyright concerns!

Hey TGWA, I did a search in the search bar for submissions when I first thought about doing this, there was a a design by the same name from about 5 years ago, but it never got printed and the joke was different.

ahahaha at the cat!

SpeedyQuik

aaahahaha i love this, one of the greatest executed parodies i've seen!!! but i do think the rectangular light green border is a little out of place.

Tunderous

this style is straight out of doc suess and it fits the idea perfectly. nice work!

MariaSurducan

Roald Dahl came to my mind to! And also, Charlie Brown.

ha!! funny. i only wish that you had made the print bigger, then cleanly have half the tee in the lighter green or something. but i like the drawing--very cute and mischievous! good luck. 4

dbh had one called Taking Tree. will ferrell wears it. thing is, all of these giving tree parodies are bound to look alike

EN AJUSTES

You know what? Just let the light green drop down fading into the shirt with a subtle grass texture, the elements a tad bigger, and that's about it. This is gold. $4

thechild

great concept

jetschetter

This is brilliant! What's up now Giving tree?!

I love the new take on the Giving Tree. This is like the grown up version of the book I read in my childhood. This is definitely a more accurate view of how I see the world.

dfurman

too funny

siamak_pj

hehe, know what you mean!

FRICKINAWESOME

Yeah, reminded me instantly of the taking tree parody from dbh....cute expansion on the idea with all the fun elements at play, but I feel the printed one looks better on the tee and has a better border/framework. Good luck!

the tree leaves should continue of the shirt, and the top will be dark green and the actual tee will be light green.
