I guess I had nature on my mind this week, when I was adding some new designs to my Threadless Artist Shop, because the new tee designs I uploaded this week both have a natural element to them.
This month’s Threadless Design Challenge was Mental Health, since May is Mental Health Awareness Month. So, that was my inspiration for my Flower Brainpower T-Shirt. It features an illustration of a brain that’s illustrated with pretty flowers in bright and cheery colors of yellow, red, orange, purple and blue. Getting outside and being able to take a walk and enjoy the natural world has always been something that helps me when I’m feeling down, and there’s evidence that suggests that exposure to nature can have a tremendous impact on our mental health. So, make sure to take some time to stop and smell the flowers.
This week’s other new addition to Alissa’s Artist Shop on Threadless is my Beneath the Stars graphic t-shirt. This tee is also a bit of an homage to the beauty of nature. It features a simple illustration of retro van with a pop-up camper on the roof, and is illustrated to look like a star-filled moonlit night in the forest with a full moon in an inky blue sky shining down on rows of evergreen trees. I don’t own a van, but if I did, I would be pretty tempted to drive off somewhere remote and spend a night or two sleeping beneath the stars. Whether you’re dreaming beneath the stars or dreaming of taking your own trip to the woods in a camper van, I hope that your nights and your days are full of peace and joy.
