Since the 2008 credit-crunch, money seems to have become even more of an all-absorbing component of our daily lives. This T-Shirt looks at the entire philosophy of money and ‘worthless promissory notes’, via the medium of popular quotations and musings...
Printed on ultra-soft Sunrise Yellow, all quotes stem from the central theme – or trunk – that ‘Money Does Not Grow On Trees’ (or in this case, T’s... no? Please yourself). The more observant amongst you, will recognise that the ‘NOT’ in the phrase, has been placed in the centre of the trunk, to emphasise a ‘knot’ in the wood. Geddit? Still no?
The underground roots of the tree, show all the negative aspects of money:
