The Faded Line to support Conscious Alliance with an art print release

The Faded Line will release three highly anticipated art prints by artists Emek and Brad Klausen. The prints entitled Cybercycle, Cyberman, and Cloak & Veil are signed & numbered by the respective artist and screen printed on high quality Stonehenge fine art paper 250gsm.

Conscious Alliance, a Boulder-based nonprofit organization, provides healthy food to some of the poorest communities in the USA, most of which reside on American Indian reservations. One of CA's main goals is to involve young people, high school and college age, in ending hunger through music and art. The money raised by The Faded Line will directly benefit the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Pine Ridge has a population of about 40,000 and is roughly the size of Connecticut. They have an unemployment rate over 80% and about 97% of the population lives below Federal poverty levels. Healthcare is limited, schools are under-funded, and the teenage suicide rate is 150% higher than the national average. During the school year, students are provided with two government subsidized meals per day. With summer quickly approaching, families have to come up with an extra 10 meals a week per child. Due to the lack of resources, many families struggle to make ends meet, which leads to their children going unfed. Learn more about Conscious Alliance at www.consciousalliance.org.

The Boulder-based company, The Faded Line, partners with artists and illustrators that have made their mark on the musical community as the creative force behind legendary album covers, rock posters and published prints. The concept behind The Faded Line is to bring the artists to the forefront from behind the shadow of a band’s name, give them the recognition they deserve, and allow the masses to ‘wear’ the art.

The on-sale is Fri May 7 at 2:00 PM MST at www.thefadedline.com.

LIMITED EDITION signed and numbered to 65 - approx 68" x 45"

Each batik is hand painted by a family in Bali. Upon arrival in the US, they are signed and numbered by Emek. No two batiks are the same! In addition to a wall hanging, some people frame the batiks or even wear as a sarong. Limit one per order.

The Carnivorus Musicalus was originally used on as the official event poster for the 2007 Coachella Music Festival - beautifully illustrated by Emek.

A portion of every sale will go towards new filtration systems. The family who makes each wall hanging by hand is paid very well and hopes you love our product!

The word batik (pronounced Bateek) means "wax written" and this is basically what batik is. It is a way of decorating cloth by covering part of it with a coat of wax and then dyeing the cloth. The waxed area keeps its original color and when the wax is removed the contrast between the dyed and undyed area makes the pattern. Big, bold designs in bright colors are most striking.

The fabric is 100% Indonesian rayon. Made from natural plant cellulose (in this case coconut fiber). The fiber is put through a process using alkaline, making into a woven fiber. It makes for a good durable textile. There are many different qualities of rayon and we only work with the highest quality.

The dyes are a colorfast - the same as the dyes used for any textiles. Unfortunately it is not a natural dye; as natural dyes will wear and fade very quickly. However, the dye baths go in to a filtration process being disposed which is a progressive environmental step for the people of Bali. All the dyes are hand blended to get the different shades. Then they are literally painted between the wax lines with paint brushes.
