Hand-drawn flower t-shirts: gerbera daisy, peony, and more

July 16, 2026

Flowers keep showing up in my design work, and I’ve stopped fighting it. This page is a running home for every hand-drawn flower t-shirt I make, why I made it, and where you can pick one up.

Why flowers, and why t-shirts

A flower is a strange thing to draw. It’s soft and structured at the same time, every petal following a pattern, but no two blooms lining up quite the same way. That tension between order and looseness is what keeps pulling me back to botanical illustration.

A t-shirt is a good home for that kind of design. It’s not precious. You wear it, wash it, wear it again, and the flower goes with you. I like design that lives in the world.

Each illustrated flower t-shirt in this collection starts the same way: with a flower I can’t stop drawing until I’ve turned it into something wearable.

Gerbera daisy t-shirt

The gerbera daisy t-shirt was the first flower design I turned into a shirt. It’s a bold daisy composition with a clean, art-forward feel, built to function as a wearable print.

I wanted something with visual impact. The composition is direct and bright, and it holds up whether you’re layering it under a jacket or wearing it on its own with denim.

It’s available in navy, sized S through 2XL.

Peony t-shirt

The peony t-shirt, called Pink Peonies, came next, and it’s a quieter design than the daisies. It’s a full bloom of peonies rendered in soft pink, buds, open faces, and layered petals cascading from top to bottom.

This one is single-color line work, which meant slowing down and paying attention to how much detail a thin line can carry before it turns into noise. The result reads as delicate up close and holds together as a shape from across a room, which is the same balance I look for in every design.

It comes in cardinal, black, and navy, sized XS through 2XL.

More flowers are coming

This collection will keep growing. I’m not interested in a single flower shirt and calling it done. There’s a lot more to draw, and I’ll add each new design to this page as it goes live.

If you want the longer story, I wrote about how each design gets made, from pencil sketch to finished shirt, and about where this art-forward look fits next to cottagecore, boho, and vintage florals.

Shop the full collection

You can see every flower design together in the Flowers collection on the shop. It’s the fastest way to browse what’s live right now without digging through the rest of the catalog.

If botanical design is your thing too, I’d love to know which flower you want to see on a shirt next.
