Mandelbrot the Tree Tees (and sweatshirts)

Mandelbrot the Tree author Noah A. Clawson

 We have merch! We have beautiful t-shirts and sweatshirts at Bonfire. The shirts, available in a range of earthy and saturated colors, feature the iconic Mandelbrot the Tree cover art designed by Sarah Brow-Hill.

Ms. Brow-Hill's depiction of Mandelbrot the Tree is straight out of the pages of the book, and also includes a portion of the Mandelbrot Set in the eyes.

Hectic stepped forward and looked reflectively at Yew. Rough, shaggy bark splotched with lichen and moss covered all his face except his lips, which were smooth like the branches of a Japanese maple tree. His eyes were concavities that slowly secreted a resin that glowed orange like hot charcoal. Numerous globules fused loosely together to form his nose like segments in a pile of cow dung. A well-groomed mustache of green and white needles connected to a long beard of vines that hung twenty feet off Yew's chin. Yew's gigantic roots reached from the base of Yew's trunk in all directions. His roots came out of the ground and plunged back in like a school of dolphins diving and plunging in an ocean of dirt. Some of his roots curved back towards him, climbed his trunk, and buried themselves into his bark.

Find out how Yew turns into Mandelbrot the Tree in Root 3.1 of Mandelbrot the Tree: a fractal story!

This is just the beginning of our foray into merchandise. We are considering tote bags, stickers, rubber stamps, temporary tattoos, greeting cards, bookmarks, and more. 

In addition to the black-and-white Mandelbrot the Tree, we are looking into using the color Mandelbrot the Tree, Entropis, Dr. Sisyphus, and eventually other characters or designs from the book including The Purple Goat, Black Gold Coffee, Green Buck Blend, and Inchoate.

Please let us know in the comments what you'd like to see for future merchandise!
