Birds of North America X Neil MacCormick 'T&P Grocery' Tee
The cutest cropped tees have come in from Birds of North America in collaboration with artist Neil MacCormick. Neil has painted full time since 1984 and co-owns Birds of North America with his partner, designer Hayley Gibson. The two have shared a studio since meeting in 2006.
Notes from Hayley Gibson:
Just the shady side of a quiet corner store in the summer, but this image brings me right back to being a kid. Freezies, backyard hoses, dirty bare feet and the earthy softness of lying on sun-warmed grass while the smell of fried onions from a neighbourhood window is carried by on the summer breeze. Â
Corner stores were all different, but always the same to me. The smell of the refrigerators, the frosty ice cream case and plastic pails of penny candy. I remember going in to stores like this with exactly one loonie, and taking my time to calculate how to get the most sugar for my buck, while also taking the 7 cents of tax into account. Very serious calculations! 😆 I didn’t know this corner store personally, but I know it intimately all the same.Â
The original reference photo for this piece was taken by Neil in the Fernwood area of Victoria, and he painted ‘T & P Grocery’ in 2002.
