This original illustration is based on those inspirational posters you might see in a classroom or an office space. You know the kind with the cat precariously hanging from a tree as it encourages you to “hang on” despite the impending doom. Hopefully the cat will land on its feet.
The year is 2025. Our incoming president is a misogynist criminal (and that’s being polite!) It’s hard not to feel like the people of the United States are all just pawns in their game of money and power. With natural disasters at our doors, the cost of living going up and up, our education system degrading, the police state taking over, and our rights slowly being stripped away in the name of freedom, we are all hanging by a thread. Well, all of us that aren’t super-rich men--which turns out to be most of us.
Boy oh boy! There’s just so many things that are working against us. With the internet we're all very aware of these tragedies, but the feeling of being powerless remains. This illustration is a friendly reminder to our fellow community members that we must hang on. We must dig our nails in. We must endure the flames tickling the bottoms of our feet and we must show up for each other.
In the past, I have had problems with extra inventory of apparel in sizes or designs that aren’t quite so popular. To save resources, space, and money, I am offering pre-orders instead. This design will be available for pre-order in January only. When the clock strikes February, I will close pre-orders and begin screen printing and shipping out orders. You have a choice of a tee shirt ($30) or a hoodie ($60).
Thank you so much for your time and support! Remember: hang in there!
