SMASH UP XIII – Butterflies in the Mass
SMASH UP XIII – Butterflies in the Mass – On Sale Now!
A big thank you goes out to Elijah Heake in Philly for our latest limited edition SMASH UP tee: Butterflies in the Mass. Elijah is currently a student at Community College of Philadelphia and plans to attend Tyler School of the Arts in the fall to major in graphic design and minor in printmaking. Raised in Thailand, Elijah gives credit to his parents for his artistic expression, and is inspired by everything around him, as well as: textiles, woodblock prints, and dreams of the future.

Elijah sent over his amazing portfolio for me to peruse full of funky designs for local music events and promotions. So of course I wanted to know what a day in the life of this student was like…read for yourself:
“-waking up-walking my girls (pitbull)-frosted mini wheats- maybe contact clients-take photographs -work on new designs -then school-and then more designs-and then sleep.”
This is completely a necessary tee for the summer wardrobe, and our first SMASH garment that is 100% organic cotton from Alternative Apparel. I like to think Elijah considers us as the lovely indie butterfly darlings out here in the mass. JulieDarling models it perfectly with a pair of jeans, MoDarling likely would throw on this Boom chick-a-Boom wrap skirt with favorite summer sandals, and TrishDarling may throw it on over her sexy DOT dress – all of us heading out the door with a smile to show the world a little bit of Smashing Darling!We hope that you will too!
If you are in the West Philly area this month head over for some eats at http://www.caferx.com/ and see a show of Elijah’s photography work from the past year as well as some of his graphics. Learn more about the Student SMASH UP project here – and spread the good word to any printmaking students you know!
We’ll bring you a new SMASH UP, landing here from the west coast, on July 3rd!
cheers ~ the Darling’s
