Star Map Socks
Description: This vintage design is loosely inspired by Samuel Leigh's "Urania’s Mirror", a boxed set of 32 constellation cards first published in November 1824. I've redrawn and refinished this artwork in order to preserve this piece of history.

I also do custom work, so if you want something specifically made, I can do just about anything!
Description: This illustration represents the Pleiades, a star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. This famous asterism was of mythic significance to cultures throughout the ancient world, and has gone by many names, including: Mǎo (Chinese), Thurayya (Arabic), Krittika (Hindu), Messier 45 (M45), Melotte 22, and of course, the Pleiades (the seven divine daughters of Pleione and Atlas) in Greek.
