R.E. Tree Frog on Sunflower | Illustration

Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Illustration) Premium Unisex T-shirt

£24

A flash of red among the green is usually the first clue that this is no ordinary little frog. With brilliant scarlet eyes, vivid green skin, orange toes and unexpected glimpses of blue and yellow, the red-eyed tree frog seems to carry an entire artist's palette within a body small enough to rest comfortably upon a leaf. In this illustration, our colourful amphibian has found a perch on the stem of a magnificent sunflower, bringing two wonderfully expressive forms from the natural world together in a composition filled with colour, character and intricate detail. The scientific and botanical illustration style gives both subjects room to shine. Fine, observational linework captures the frog's delicate limbs and remarkable gripping toes, while the sunflower rises around it with its broad leaves, textured stem and unmistakable golden bloom. There is a playful contrast between the tiny amphibian and the bold scale of the flower, yet the careful rendering gives the piece the considered character of a traditional natural-history plate. Look closely and there is always another detail to discover, from the frog's extraordinary eyes to the complex structure of the flower itself. For a design devoted to such fine details, we've kept the t-shirt beneath it refreshingly straightforward. High-quality 100% cotton gives the garment its soft, naturally breathable character, making it comfortable for everything from warm days outdoors to decidedly quieter ones spent closer to home. Durable enough to earn a regular place in your rotation and easy enough to wear without ceremony, it's designed to be enjoyed as often as the mood takes you rather than saved for best. The natural world thrives on variety, and we'd rather our collection did too than manufacture enormous quantities of only a handful of designs. That's why Animal Kingdom Apparel makes every garment to order, allowing us to celebrate unusual combinations, overlooked species and wonderfully specific pieces of wildlife art without producing piles of clothing in advance. Each t-shirt is made because somebody has already chosen it, helping us limit unnecessary stock and waste while giving even the smallest characters in our collection plenty of room to stand out.
