It’s summertime, and I’m wearing a T-shirt today, a rarity for me, as my uniseasonal wardrobe is anchored in short-sleeved button-down shirts.

This shirt is a special one: two years ago this month I made a sketch of Receiver Coffee on Victoria Row. I posted it online, where personable Receiver partner Chris Francis saw it and asked me if they could use it for their staff shirt that Christmas. I said yes, of course (Chris and I have a long history of working together on coffee-related printed works). I received a couple of shirts by way of thank-you.

Today was, I think, the first time I’ve worn the shirt around and about.
