Seasick Mama, a Brooklyn-based canvas to clothing apparel company, will be presenting an exhibit called, Don’t Become The Things You Hate. In today’s contemporary recession, an industry that is struggling to survive is the print and magazine world. To reach out, Seasick Mama has asked almost a dozen magazines, bloggers, and other local favorites to express “how they survive” during this difficult time..but in only six words.

"I Can't Pay My Phone Bill" was created as an example of the everyday objects and luxuries we take for granted... until they're taken away from us. Of course, when one can't pay his/her phone bill, their link to the outside world is cut off, creating a void between their loved ones. Could that mean the economy is killing our relationships? Perhaps. I hope we never find out." -Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind.

These poetic proclamations (some comical, some foul) will be beautifully printed on large-scale canvases, but also onto a limited edition series to t-shirts, just in time for fashion week! Proceeds from the public’s support will benefit the pockets of the writers.

"Sell More Art, Eat More Tacos" by Peru Ana Ana Peru.

The presentation of the exhibit is extremely special, because Seasick Mama has teamed up with The Stand Alone Gallery and The Artists & Fleas Designers Market.

The Stand Alone Gallery is owned and directed by mastermind Daniel Quinn, who has given life to this mobile space. The Stand Alone Gallery can take any shape or form to create a space for any creative endeavor, some of which include: a roof top exhibit with the Gawker Artists and a solo show for Erik Braun in the Chelsea area.

The Artists & Fleas Market is a melting pot of artists, designers, vintage collectors, and handmade crafters. It’s a home to a community of artists, one of which is Seasick Mama. They will be hosting the exhibit and we could not be happier.

The exhibit is bringing the community together to celebrate the creativity that springs when people work together—but also the release of Seasick Mama new tee collection.
