In Portland, they put a bird on it, but in Denver, we put a fox on it. Apparently. A friend of mine said he went to a craft fair and foxes were everywhere. Considering Fantastic Mr Fox, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, and how bad ass foxes are generally, I'm surprised its taken this long for hipsters to start putting them on everything.
But that makes it no easier to admit I have fallen into this cliche with my new t-shirt design:
But foxes are still just as cool, so maybe I can be too. After I put this up on Etsy I almost immediately found myself in a favorites list of what appears to be everything fox-related here. I have to say that the fox stuff is cool, but man is there crap load of it! I even found this shirt of a bird AND a fox. That's a hip one two punch! Also it's whimsical and artsy? Triple threat! And the promo pic is half Primus costume and half shame for one's face!?!?! We're talking about a portrait of this moment in culture.... But my fox is better than all that. I've been wearing a 2XL even though I'm a medium, and it really takes the hipster edge off of the look. It also in a way goes super-hip if I start looking like grimes. Anyway, don't buy one from my Etsy store, or everyone will think you're a hipster doofus.
next time
