Dido Socks
Description: "dixit, et os impressa toro 'moriemur inultae, sed moriamur' ait. 'sic, sic iuvat ire sub umbras. hauriat hunc oculis ignem crudelis ab alto Dardanus, et nostrae secum ferat omina mortis.' dixerat, atque illam media inter talia ferro conlapsam aspiciunt comites, ensemque cruore spmantem sparsasque manus. it clamor ad alta atria: concussam bacchatur Fama per urbem." This part of the Aeneid never fails to make me cry, it's so beautifully written and really pulls at my heartstrings. I couldn't get it out of my head for days and I wanted to make a design that I hope does Dido some justice.
Description: Fido Dido began life as a whimsical cartoon character created by Joanna Ferrone and Sue Rose. Rose first sketched him on a napkin in 1985 and then she and Ferrone produced shirts with the slogan "Fido is for Fido, Fido is against no one" in New York City. He became a local favorite that gained enough of a following that he became the mascot for one of the clear sodas on the market in 1987. Outside of the New York market, he initially failed to gain popularity, though as the America ushered in the '90s, he became an instant hit with his trendy look, laid-back attitude and unconventional take on life that fit well with the new decade.
