Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day

Know what the Basque word for 'flea'? is? Didn't think so. I didn't either until I came across a great shop right beside the church of Santa Maria del Mar. It?s called Kukuxumusu (Basque for 'flea') and everything in it suggests a wry and fresh way of looking at the world. Mikel Urmeneta creates the drawings that are now printed on t-shirts, shorts, underwear, skirts, mugs, watches, bandanas?

I am now the proud wearer of an original Kukuxumusu t-shirt that's sure to break the ice at parties. It will be pressed into service at a wine festival in Sitges on Sunday.
