I had the privilege of working on and supporting my friend Tommy on a one of a kind project, one in which I've been eager to share the journey with you.

[ Tommy and his amazing team! ]
Tommy, a skilled tradesman and barber from regional Victoria, Australia, is the kind of person you instantly connect with. Our paths crossed during an amazing Contiki tour of Europe, forging a lasting friendship. This is where Tommy first alluded me to the task he was going to attempt in a couple of months time and mentioned needing a design.
Tommy had been diligently preparing for an ambitious 100km run from a paddock to Cowes Pier, an endeavour that resonated deeply with me. Wanting to lend my support, I embarked on creating a design for his custom running singlets that were being put together for his big run.
The design, while straightforward, held profound significance – featuring the initials 'P2P' (Paddock 2 Pier), with one half depicting a paddock and the other, Cowes Pier itself. I infused personal elements, such as Tommy's beloved border collie pup, to impart a touch of individuality.
