Jimmy at Tamp Coffee came into the story through a mutual friend. The pier and waterfront give the design a sense of place, while the coffee shop gives the finished mug a place to be found in the community.
Details in the drawing
The wraparound artwork includes Brant Street Pier, Spencer Smith Park, Royal Botanical Gardens and Burlington Canal Lift Bridge. Each is part of the place this mug was drawn to remember.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
For a friend who has moved away, the familiar names in the artwork do the work: Brant Street Pier and Spencer Smith Park are reminders of an actual place. Include a note naming the moment you shared there, or ask which detail they noticed first when you give it to them.
