Effortless Flamingo Tee · Brights

It’s not a drawing of a flamingo. It’s one line.

A lesser flamingo resting on one leg, drawn as a single unbroken line that never lifts off the shirt: about 5.7 metres of line on sizes L–3XL, about 4.4 metres on S and M, where the print is scaled down. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.

¹ On one leg, a flamingo’s body settles into a stable pose that bears its weight with little active muscle force. Chang and Ting, Biology Letters, 2017

Fig. 27 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories, here in the Brights edition. For the calmest person you know.

About the print

• 18 bright shirt colours, each printed in its own pair of inks: a white or navy line, and a bright accent for the caption and the ¹, so the print stands out on the colour.
• The same drawing and footnote as the original Small Print tee, centred on the chest, with the small Deep Planet emblem at the upper right.
• Print area 15 × 18 in on sizes L–3XL; Printful scales it proportionally to 11.5 × 13.8 in on S and M.
• Printed to order by Printful, direct to garment.
