I started Stockpile with an Etsy store attached to my original account. I'm grateful to everyone who hearted the store and checked out the merchandise, but it was a bit confusing to have Stockpile Designs located at 'wrightmonster.etsy.com.' The new store is at stockpiledesigns.etsy.com.
To celebrate the new store (and because of a format change going forward) I've reduced the price of the MIG-15 Fagot prints to $6! Grab 'em while they last - it's an essential entry in the history of things with terrible names.

Look at this Flying Fagot

Firstly, it's pronounced exactly the way you're thinking. "Fagot" was the MIG-15's NATO designation. Every Soviet jet was given a name that started with F, and our Fagot friend here was named in 1947 for its resemblance to a cigarette. The next two MIGs were named the Fresno and the Farmer. I am not making this up.
This little Fagot is only one of 54 cards in a flashcard deck, and I'm going to make a series of prints featuring enlarged versions of the most interesting illustrations. But first, some common military phrases involving the MIG-15 Fagot:
"Look at all those flying Fagots!"
"There were so many Fagots they blocked out the sun."
"Head for cover - Soviet Fagots are coming your way."
"That flaming Fagot is going down!"
