Funky India Lotus Flower


Nothing too deep here, just a decorative lotus flower design by Shanti Tees inspired by the textile designs of India. Tried this one in a few monochrome versions as well to see how those fly, see below. ST is going to be doing more decorative and monochrome type designs in the near future in preparation for a wholesale line. Stay tuned, but it probably won't be tomorrow anyway.

** I changed my mind. I'm not really happy with the monochrome versions, so i kept them all to the full color versions for now.

Tantric Cobra Snake with Lotus Flower


Shanti Tees has always been fascinated by the multi-headed and arm thing with the Hindu and Buddhist gods, and also the multi-headed snake that shows up in Tantric art. I haven’t seen a real explanation of it, but an off the cuff guess would be to symbolize the Kundalini energy moving up through the chakras. So i fooled around with this for awhile and ended up with a grumpy and irritated looking, anatomically suspect and chromatically dodgy cobra snake with a jewel on each of his heads, and a lotus flower thrown in for the sake of overkill. At some point i'd like to do a line drawing version with this one, but i need to find a way to sort out doing scales that doesn't take 2 weeks.

We have a couple of different versions of this one. For all American Apparel fairtrade cotton t shirts for men and women in choice of 4 styles and a range of colors, click on the image above. To choose your own shirt style and customize you own, click on an image below.

Om (Aum) Symbol in Lotus Ring Mandala


We already have way too many Om (Aum) symbol designs, that's why they have their own website called Aum Tees . But we still thought that Shanti Tees needed it's own Om symbol design, so this one is in a lotus ring mandala with a few variations. Also a different colored one shown below, and also a line drawing variation. The peanut gallery at RedBubble seems to have voted the line drawing version as the winner of the bunch so far.
