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.
The design also works well if you are drawn to stoic philosophy themes.
Muted tones and a slightly worn texture give it a vintage feel that looks good on plain backgrounds.
Product notes
A few practical details about the sticker: Each sticker is kiss-cut from removable vinyl, so it peels off cleanly when you want to move it. You can choose between several sizes, from small accent pieces to larger statement stickers.
Using it for water Bottles
A sticker on your bottle also makes it easy to spot yours at the gym, office, or trailhead. The water-resistant vinyl copes with splashes and hand-washing, which is exactly what a bottle goes through daily. Water bottles are curved, so a small or medium sticker usually sits flatter than a large one.
