I was heartbroken by the immense loss our community in Los Angeles suffered due to the wildfires. The city is enduring such a difficult time, and many artists, musicians, and dedicated individuals are working tirelessly to rebuild their lives. Drawing inspiration from the incredible strength and resilience of the people here, I teamed up with Bandcamp to create this limited-edition T-shirt with 100% of proceeds going directly to MusiCares.
This one-of-a-kind T-shirt design embodies the resilience and creativity of independent artists and references vintage vinyl LP packaging design, a nod to Bandcamp’s commitment to uplifting the world through the power of music. The graphic features my Lotus Woman, a design that has evolved over time, originating as a screen print in 2015, symbolizing strength and resilience through bold graphic imagery. The lotus flower itself is often associated with spiritual awakening and the journey of rising above adversity. The collaboration with Bandcamp and MusiCares also reworks the design into a new version incorporating the Seal of The City of Los Angeles – to raise funds for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, with proceeds going to relief efforts.
Now, more than ever, it’s essential that we come together and support one another as we help our fellow Angelenos heal and rebuild.
