I then added in a palm tree I had drawn earlier and created the flamingo baby 2d type in the glorious kitsch pink. <\/p><p>I then framed the image with a retro Polaroid frame - Et voila!! The finished piece!<\/p><p>He\u2019s now back, firmly situated on the dash of the Hymer, his little wings flapping. Plastic, kitsch and to us, and maybe to you, highly entertaining. <\/p><p>You may be asking me why he made it onto a Tshirt? Well - you have to celebrate the little things.<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/collection\/flamingo-tshirts-for-women\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>FlamingoTshirts<\/u><\/a><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/7vu1fbvpbhmixwz8erje2kqv4l40xmpndi4sqpmc2ss0qti0.jpeg\" alt=\"7vu1fbvpbhmixwz8erje2kqv4l40xmpndi4sqpmc2ss0qti0.jpeg\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/qcz8rcm9jotibvroj3ajw41uo9j9zxtwtasfgot2dlusrevv.png\" alt=\"qcz8rcm9jotibvroj3ajw41uo9j9zxtwtasfgot2dlusrevv.png\" \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"erol","url":"\/blog\/erol\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/erol\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/duff-t.com\/blog\/erol\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":true,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1677062506,"updatedAt":1681575088,"publishedAt":1677063108,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":112875,"name":"duff-t Tees"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/izugiarh1sfiqipevkvackhxsnnahsd3uvnuvxhnkr4bgman.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/izugiarh1sfiqipevkvackhxsnnahsd3uvnuvxhnkr4bgman.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/izugiarh1sfiqipevkvackhxsnnahsd3uvnuvxhnkr4bgman.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"Miami Vibes Erol the Flamingo TShirt Design","metaDescription":null,"keyPhraseCampaignId":745,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":24443,"title":"LGBT+ History Month 'Behind the Lens' - Sara Hutchinson","url":"\/blog\/behind-the-lens\/","urlTitle":"behind-the-lens","division":112875,"description":"Introducing the amazing Sara Hutchinson.
