About this design
A flaming torch, a broken chain and toasted marshmallows.
The story behind it
In Greek myth, Prometheus gave fire to humankind, carrying it away hidden in a hollow fennel stalk, as the poet Hesiod tells it in his Theogony and Works and Days. In Aeschylus's play Prometheus Bound, Zeus punishes him by having him chained to a mountain crag.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
