Serpent Is Death/Life, King Gizzard inspired screen printed and linocut T shirt
The Serpent is Death, serpent is life - where the infinite serpent loop and the trance of these lyrics begin and end in my head is ambiguous. This design is inspired by all many serpent stories and their dualities, it will provide great small talk about the Goddess and life/death/life cycle at your next King Gizzard show or family dinner. I turn my hand drawn illustrations into printable art. On the front of each shirt is a screen print of this illustration. On the back is my linocut block print of the KGLW letters. I do all of the printing for you as well.
šI am fascinated with the history of the symbolism of the serpent throughout history, and around the world. Many cultures throughout history held the snake in high spiritual importance. Often symbolizing the liminal space between death and birth, and representing the Goddess/feminine energies. Curiously, we see a shift of the snake from a spiritual and Goddess related creature, to a knowledge bringing being in the garden of Eden. Knowledge for humans strikes fear in the god in this story, and is forbidden. Turning the snake from a Goddess into an evil "Satan" spirit out to destroy humanity. The purpose of this art is to help re-write the story of the Garden of Eden, Eve, Lilith, and the power of our knowledge and free will. So glad she at the fruit and the choice to be "good"
Can be printed with or without KGLW, just leave me a note if you do not want it.
