Gardening. Because murder is frowned upon.

Mid-century advertising style, redrawn: a fifties illustration with the sparkle and a line it would never have printed, in black and red. Retro sass on a mug.

A woman with secateurs, perfectly pleasant, faintly threatening. The caption runs the length of the mug in bold mid-century lettering, the kind you'd find on a 1960s seed packet if seed packets were more honest about what gardening actually does to a person.

The whole thing wraps right round the mug in one continuous illustration, ink linework and a single deep red spot colour, star sparkles scattered through the middle third where the handle sits.

For the gardener who prunes with feeling.
