In Demeter We Trust—Mortals Better Bring Data Women's Relaxed T-Shirt

A great gift for data ladies!

Fun comic book styled art for the women of science, statistics, industrial engineering, quality improvement, operational excellence, lean manufacturing, and six sigma.

This is our own spin on the classic scientist’s creed: Mortals better bring data, offered in five colors that bring out the artistry presented by our extraordinarily talented comic book artist, Denio Viana (Brazil).

Of course, the guys also might like to have Demeter levitating in the prairie breeze but this shirt is cut especially for the ladies.

(The brown ink against the pink fabric makes a surprising vibrant combination.)

Ladies and gentlemen both might want to check out our unisex version with slightly varied art and two unique fabric colors: heather prism dusty blue and burnt orange.

Not available in stores. 

Demeter, goddess of fertility and agriculture, always with a cornucopia and laurels holding back her beautiful hair. We find her floating, presiding over her crops and three centaurs who have retired from the battlefields to the grain fields. She’s explaining her analysis of crop yields to the supervisor.

If you don’t know…

“In God we trust, everyone else must bring data!” That’s the old saying.

Denio extrapolated this proverb to Ancient Greece and four busy, data-minded gods:

1) We have the lovely, forever young Demeter here.

2) Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, always has body armor a spear and a round shield, and a gold trojan helmet. There’s an owl perched on her shoulder or nearby. She’s leading a conversation with three male soldiers. All four are standing, studying a Pareto Chart that has been magically manifested on the wall in front of them. She has her arms crossed. One guy is scratching his chin. One guy is leaning around another in front of him to see better.

3) Lonely, troubled Poseidon, god of the seas and storms. He’s supposed to protect seafarers but he’s distracted right at the moment by his spreadsheets.

4) Zeus, king of gods, god of thunder and the sky, ruler atop Mount Olympus, gnawing on a Yellow No. 2, and frustratedly tapping his electrified fingers while hammering away at his desktop. We think he’s probably waiting for Tableau to load.
