The artwork
"Festina Lente" (Make Haste Slowly) — an ancient Latin adage embracing the wisdom of balancing speed with patience, diligence with deliberation. This vintage-inspired illustration features a dapper Victorian gentleman hare standing proudly atop a giant garden snail shell, resting on his walking stick while displaying the Latin motto on a ribbon banner. Designed in a timeless copperplate woodcut and cross-hatch etching style. A thoughtful piece for lovers of Stoic philosophy, dark academia, classic literature, history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates charming, antique animal oddities. That idea carries through to the mug version.
The design also works well if you are drawn to gentleman rabbit themes.
