Vitruvian Thor | Organic T-Shirt

Design

This piece of art by Colin Dale of Skin & Bone Tattoo features the well known Viking deity Thor.

He has chosen to portray Thor in the style of the famous Vitruvian Man drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci, from the 15th Century. Da Vinci was inspired by a Roman architect called Vitruvius who had written a guide to creating perfect proportion during construction and wanted to explore the same ideas within the human anatomy.

It is fitting that the immaculately proportioned Thunder God is depicted within the coils of the Midgard Serpent, Jormungandr, as his coils were supposed to encircle the world. 

This design is hand printed by Northern Fire.

Material & Make

Our t-shirts are made with ethically sourced 100% organic cotton and are hand printed in house by Northern Fire artists at our workshop in Wales. Our inks are water based and locally sourced and to minimise the negative impact of the textile industry on the environment.
