A while back, I rekindled my experiment with having a store on Cafepress.com, and designed some merchandise for my own store. I recalled Ivan being called a ‘Thinking Man’ by a journalist (?) last year, thus I decided to design the ‘Thinking Cap’. This one’s for you, Ivan! Last October, someone bought a Thinking Cap …
