Etsy Find: Unique Silkscreened Pillows

...LOVE these peculiar and beautiful silkscreened pillows by The Utilitarian Franchise on Etsy.  They consist of many of my favorite things:

Animals-in-uniform.  

One of two chimpanzee oil paintings, currently on display in our bathroom "hallway".

Odd-circusy-freak-show.

Uncommonly-revered-insects.  

The current Bombshell Rehab "torpeetle" logo, based off of a scarab beetle.

General-anthropomorphy.

...and of course: Unending-avian-worship.

Scooter, a swallow-tailed kite.  
(BIG thanks to the Avian Reconditioning Center in Apopka, FL and the Orange Audubon Society for letting me get so close!)

Torpeetle

First draft of my "torpeetle" design.  I'm planning on turning it into a screen print, but first: scan it into photoshmop to edit it/get it to be just black and white, print it onto a transparency, "burn" the design into the screen with currently non-existent photo bulb, and eventually use the screen to make too many copies of this design on random cloths. Whew.  Let's hope I make it to the finish line.
