Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette

Most people know Van Gogh from the Starry Night or the sunflowers. But he had also a darker, funnier side. This painting is the best proof of that: a skeleton's skull with a lit cigarette between its teeth. Van Gogh made it as a student in Antwerp, most likely as a joke aimed at his teachers who kept asking him to study skulls. Small, dark, and unexpectedly funny. And now it is on socks. Woven, not printed. The design is knitted thread by thread into the cotton. The colours do not fade in the wash and the image stays sharp, even after years of wear. Organic cotton. Grown without pesticides, softer on your skin than regular cotton and better for the environment. Built to last. High-density weave so the socks keep their shape, even with daily wear.
