Update: The Woot-ers have sent word that the T-shirt is now back in stock via this link, which is nice! But we’re still left scrambling for the inspirational sculpture, despite Ridl’s best efforts.

Though obviously — because it’s not 15 minutes after the T-shirt was first posted — today’s Woot shirt is long since sold out, Joel Drakxxx Rose’s ‘Battle Fungale’ is still a nicely baroque homage to the Mushroom Kingdom, but something deeper’s been troubling me. Despite the years of art history education for which I’m still paying the piper, I can’t at all place what the image is a tribute to — surely I’m mentally misplacing some lost European statuary?
