"Stories Grow Here" Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

Cream lettering spells Stories Grow Here in three crowded lines, shaped with oversized capitals, thick dark outlines and uneven curved strokes. A dense arch of dark green stems, pointed leaves, red and pink flowers, white daisies and red berries gathers around the open white field. The Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt gives that illustrated arrangement room to read as a single woodland scene.

At the right, a brown-haired girl wearing a red bow looks down into an open red book. Her red-and-cream striped shirt meets a cream flared skirt, while a spotted brown fawn, a woven basket filled with red berries and an orange-brown squirrel holding one gather below. An orange-and-black butterfly breaks into the white space beside the girl, a small detail that keeps the surrounding foliage from closing in.

The mark is built through closely packed illustrated forms and a deliberately hand-drawn letter treatment. A small red heart appears between the lower lines of the words. Near the lower edge, red mushrooms are marked with white spots; a blue-and-orange bird perches on a stump, and a cream bird appears higher in the foliage. The dark outlines hold the busy floral border and character details together without flattening the open white area around the lettering.
