About this design
Flame-colored feathers, big amber eyes and one stolen golden apple.
The story behind it
In the old Russian fairy tale of Tsarevich Ivan and the Grey Wolf, collected by Alexander Afanasyev in the 1850s, a glowing golden bird with feathers of fire raids the Tsar's garden at night and steals the golden apples. The Tsar sends his three sons after the thief, and the youngest, Ivan, ends up on a long quest with a grey wolf to bring the bird home. From the bird's side of the story, that seems like a lot of fuss over some fruit.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
