Design of the Week DANTE

If you're going to see the new Tom Hanks film Inferno...
...why not be subtly-kool with a Dante t-shirt, sweatshirt, or bag?
Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This time around,  it's a classic early 1900s image of Dante Alighieri, whose "Inferno", from the epic poem The Divine Comedy, is the "MacGuffin" of the Dan Brown novel and new movie Inferno!
Showing both Heaven and Hell, it's a superb example of lithographic design that would look great on your body or desk!

Design of the Week--Dante's Inferno


Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...Youse tink just because we're pop culture aficionados, we ain't got no class?
Youse tink just because we're inta video games, that we're uncouth?
Hell, we got couth comin' out the wazoo, pal!
Youse want proof?
Look here!
We have whatcha call your classic Dante Alighieri image right outta da Middle Ages (like around 1900 or so)
And, it was originally cigar box label art, so you know it's classy! Not like a cigarette package! (Cartoon camels? Gimme a break...)

Now, Dante wuz one o' da greatest writers of all time!
He wrote BOOKS, some of 'em witout pictures, even!
He wrote The Divine Comedy (I ain't sure why he called it dat, 'cause it sure ain't funny!), which described what Hell would be like (sorta like Staten Island witout da cute chicks you see on da ferry dat never talk to ya!)
And now it's been made into both a video game and an animated flick!
(Dey don't do dat for just ANY book, youse know!)

So pick up a t-shirt or mug wit Dante's mug on it!
Impress yer buds!
Impress da ladies!
