We are so happy to finally announce a project that has been in the works for quite some time. Brandon has partnered with super brand Hurley on an environmental issue close to his heart, the North Pacific Gyre AKA the 'pacific garbage patch' which is a collection of garbage -- plastic bottles and other trash that stems primarily from human consumption -- which is currently settled in the North Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii. It is bigger and more serious than you think -- please click here to read more about it.
Since it's a problem that is essentially our fault, it's also hopeful that it is within our power to fix it through education and awareness. This observation is the driving force of the project which was specifically chosen by Brandon, a lifelong surfer and environmental advocate. He has devoted much time and effort to the cause and has created a series of collaborative t-shirt designs with proceeds designated to raising awareness for an ultimate solution.
Please read more about the collaboration on Yahoo News.
Brandon will create a mural at the )( Gallery and there will be an April 2 launch party at the gallery...he is in great company as noted artists such as Nathan Ota, Bigfoot, Dalek, and others have had shows there.
Keep your eyes out for press, print advertising and an MTVu commercial spot that will highlight the project. It is always a great feeling when art can be used to benefit a great cause so we are really really looking forward to it!
