Most people will agree that when a great wind blows through a field of tall grass or wheat it resembles waves in the sea. Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist who created the masterpiece above "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" using the wood block print method.
Seeing Hokusai's print helped me crystalize memories of my youth when I helped harvest fields of wheat on summer vacation.
I used Adobe Illustrator to design a T-shirt featuring a Great Wave of wheat looming large over a football stadium in Regina. Taylor 306 is a nod to Neil Joseph "Piffles" Taylor.
