NEOCLASSICS x DJEMBE & CANVAS : a collaboration of HOPE & COURAGE

Hope & Courage shirts for Japan are now available.

The front design is the piece I painted in tribute to Northern Japan.  The central figure is Date Masamune, a historical icon of the Tohoku region and the founder of Sendai.  He is wounded and battling defiantly to protect the koi in his arms.  The spirit of Masamune represents the courage of all the relief efforts and the koi symbolizes the people's hope and resiliency.

The back design consists of the rising sun and Sendai's crest (2nd symbol).  This represents a collective tribute from NEO (wreath headphones) and D&C (yours truly).  My favorite part is Neo's idea of featuring the logo of Sendai to convey sympathy & respect to all those who're living through this.

These sublimation Ts are each meticulously hand-pressed.  The fabric is very soft and comfortable.  Please spread the word and contribute.  All proceeds are donations to Stand Up for Japan, a project aimed at providing IMMEDIATE relief to the survivors.  Their direct routing system can be viewed HERE.

shirts are available for purchase HERE.

Thank you and bless Japan.
