"Stone Steps Into The Sea" Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

Everything here is drawn with two kinds of mark: speckle for stone and line for water. The top two slabs of a rough staircase are stippled in grey and cream, split by thin dark cracks, with blocky side edges that make each step read as a single cut stone. From the third step down the sea has moved in. The treads turn teal under a net of pale caustic lines, the kind sunlight throws on the floor of a shallow pool, and the step edges survive only as darker horizontal bands beneath the surface.

A wave cuts diagonally from upper left to lower right, its crest a thick cream band of foam that breaks into beads, dots and lacy holes. On the right, the outer ends of the third and fourth steps are still dry grey while the treads beside them are already under water, a small sign that the tide is only partway up. Lower down the colour deepens to navy streaked with turquoise swirls, and loose teal droplets fly off both sides. The whole shape widens and drips along its lower edge, so on the Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt the stairs seem to pour downward from a narrow top. It suits anyone drawn to coastlines and old harbour steps, and it makes an easy gift for a swimmer or a sailor.
