Wojtek, the soldier bear: the T-shirt
There was an interesting post on the blue about Wojtek, the soldier bear. A couple of folks expressed the desire for a t-shirt with the iconic image of Wojtek. I thought it was a striking image, and figured it wasn't all that hard, so I set it up.

This was actually a bit more fiddly to set up than I anticipated, and obviously all the "hard" parts are being handled for me. I'm rather new to t-shirts, so if I'm missing something please let me know.

There's probably an easier way do do this; there are a bewildering array of options. For what it's worth, I also made up orange, dark green, and brown versions.

Damn that's a handsome shell-carrying bear.

Not to be a pain, but does Pernambuko get her/his proper attribution according to the licencing requirements of the image?

That is precisely the kind of feedback I was hoping for. My apologies to the author; attribution added to comply as far as I can tell with the license terms. I couldn't tell if there's required to be an attribution on every shirt, though.

I just got my shirt today and love it. I am half Polish and will wear it proudly:-) Thanks! I got in red and white, the Polish colors.
