Like our Cascading Leaves and Maple Leaf designs, this image is based on one of my original photographs. All or flora or "leaves" designs start as macro photos of different types of leaves that capture their delicate lines and veins. Then these images are digitally edited to enhance the contrast and create transparencies, which are exposed onto the silkscreens. Next, they're handprinted onto the shirt fabric. In the case of "The Reader" design, things took a bit of a whimsical turn as I played around with superimposing the reading man, taken from another original photograph, into the leaf image.

This tee was milled, cut, and sewn in Ontario, within 100KM of our studio.
