Don't know about Blood is the New Black?

In 2004 designer and line curator Mitra Khayyam set out to accomplish three goals with the start of her T-shirt line Blood is the New Black:

1.       Display the works of emerging artists, designers and photographers in order to propel their careers and support the underground art movement, through design collaborations
2.        Introduce fans of both fashion and the arts to new designers, photographers and illustrators, to whom otherwise consumers may have not been exposed
3.       Create a line that is wearable, comfortable and stylish, yet has an opinion
BITNB encourages the public to explore current art and design trends by prominently featuring the work of underground artists, photographers and illustrators on the company’s soft, well-fitted T-shirts and products.
Those daring enough to wear BITNB products, instantly become a walking canvas and conversation piece.

Blood is the New Black collaborates with artists such as Bobby Whigham, Brendan Donnelly, BrianLichtenberg, Bryan Ray Turcotte, Caris Reid, Dan Monick, Demonbabies, Keren Richter and SO MANY MORE!!!

Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity

Eat, Prey, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert talks on TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design - idea's worth spreading) about ideals of genius in history and contemporary society, living up to expectations as a creative and how she copes with and nurtures her creative pressures after the success of her book, Eat, Prey, Love.

I found Gilbert's discussion very worthwhile as she raises some interesting points that challenge what we accept. Her clear points and structured conversation was all encompassing, informative and really got me thinking! Take a look...
