"Skater Carrying Red Board" Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

The upper left is left open, with nothing drawn beside the skater’s shoulder, and that space is what makes the climb feel like a climb. He is seen from behind, halfway up a flight of curved steps that sweep away to the right in long arcs. He wears a cap turned backwards, a loose jacket marked with jagged, brush-like folds, baggy trousers filled almost solid navy, and flat-soled shoes with one heel lifted mid-step. Everything is drawn in dark navy line and shadow except the board.

The board is the one colour on this longsleeve T-shirt: a red deck carried flat at his hip, underside out, its surface streaked with paler scratches from use. He holds it low, fingers hooked around the truck by the wheel, the jacket sleeve bunched at his wrist. The risers of the steps are speckled and dripping, like wet concrete or old paint. Underneath runs a single line of bold navy serif type: I carry this thing a lot. It reads as a dry admission from anyone who has walked more stairs than they have ridden.

• The deck has a thin pale rim inside its navy outline, and both trucks and all four wheels are drawn in.
• The lettering is solid navy, ends with a full stop, and runs in one straight line under the lowest step.
• It suits skaters, former skaters and anyone choosing a present for one.
