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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
