“This piece started with the toast at a convention in Amsterdam,” says the wearer, “then we added the lettering. The sparrows came next, then we threw in some umbrellas and background.”

I love the randomness. Oftentimes, I can’t stand randomness because it’s overdone and turns out to simply not be funny – that’s far from the case here. And that’s rare. :]
