THE SPECIMEN

Cut from a dense Heavyweight Heritage Jersey, this piece features a signature garment-dyed finish that provides a lived-in, vintage hand-feel from the first wear. The structural, boxy fit allows the artwork to sit flat against the chest without distortion.

THE ARTIFACT: HARVEST

A woven basket brimming with late-summer vegetables is rendered in rustic naturalist illustration, celebrating abundance, soil, and honest labor.
The first light of morning spills across a garden path, illuminating a woven basket filled to its brim with freshly gathered produce. Tomatoes glow like warm embers, carrots spill orange against deep green kale, and handfuls of beans cascade in soft, curved clusters. Through Rustic Naturalist Illustration, every vegetable appears rich with texture—earth still clinging to roots, leaves holding the cool memory of dawn, colors softened by the mist drifting from nearby cedar trees.
The basket itself is sturdy and timeworn, its willow strands warped slightly from years of use. Sunlight weaves through the gaps in the weaving, creating thin copper lines across the vegetables inside. Carrots show faint crescents where soil shaped their growth. The tomatoes display gentle ridges, each one uniquely contoured from sun and vine. Purple onions gleam with papery skins that flutter faintly in the morning breeze. Everything feels alive, brimming with the quiet satisfaction of a harvest gathered with care.
Around the basket, the garden stretches outward in gentle order: rows of squash vines crawling low and wide, bean trellises standing tall like wooden ribs, and herbs clustered in fragrant mounds. Bees drift lazily from bloom to bloom, moving in unhurried spirals as the day begins. Beyond the treeline, a small creek offers steady, mindful sound—small currents tumbling over stone and root, grounding the scene in calm rhythm.
Symbolically, the basket holds more than vegetables; it holds the result of patience, weather, and tending. The rustic naturalist style captures this relationship with subtle reverence, elevating each imperfection as part of the story—scarred tomato skins, forked carrot roots, and leaves nibbled by unseen creatures. These marks speak of authenticity, of the truth that abundance emerges from effort, resilience, and seasons weathered together.

(FINAL ECHO)
As the sun rises higher, warm glow spreads across the basket, deepening the colors and casting gentle shadows on the path below.
Harvest reminds us that the earth’s gifts arrive quietly—shaped by time, gathered by hand, and carried with gratitude into the day.
