Sometime in late 2023, my wife caught a social post from one of our favorite restaurants in town, Vern’s, seeking submissions for art from the community that celebrated their delicious “Lost Meatball” dish for some new swag. The post encouraged telling a story that could make sense of the entreé’s unique name. However, the call for submissions was due the next morning. Without much time, I sketched this design on my iPad that evening and sent it off before work the next day. It was ultimately chosen and silkscreend on shirts for sale on premise.
