     "D is for Dragon" short sleeved tee by Debbie

Debbie became involved in graphic design shortly after her graduation from high school, approximately twenty years ago. She remembers her very first design – an angular design with red, yellow and blue interlocking rings with a cross and leaves and branches. Debbie has continued her love of graphic design, and has recently come out with a line of fantasy and medieval fashions (and other items) in Debbie’s Fantastic World. Her designs are detailed, colorful, unique, and very affordable, with prices for shirts in the ten to twenty dollar range.
 

Debbie’s parents live in northeast Columbia. She grew up with her parents and younger sister, and is now living with her husband and two sons outside Detroit, Michigan. Debbie has always had an interest in fantasy, especially after being introduced to fantasy novels by her uncle in junior high school. About the same time, she also developed a deep and abiding interest in Arthurian legends.
 

Ten to twelve years ago, Debbie was introduced to the Society for Creative Anachronism, a nonprofit educational group that researches and recreates the Middle Ages. She began designing more and more images, based on fantasy and medieval art forms. Among her favorite designs are “L’existence des Licornes” (the existence of unicorns), from a 14th century treatise, “Histoire Naturelle.” From the same source, she designed “Elephant and Unicorn.” The whimsical design pictured, “D is for Dragon,” is based on authentic illuminated manuscripts of England’s Middle Ages.
 

Debbie’s fantasy and medieval designs are available at Debbie’s Fantastic World and include an incredible selection of short and long sleeve tee shirts, kids’ clothing, hats and bags, intimate apparel, fun stuff, home and office, mugs, cards, prints and calendars.
