Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the latest project from The ShadowPlastic Label in conjunction with YUME BK. Allow me to introduce to you: THE BROOKLYN TEE PARTY!
The Brooklyn Tee Party is a collaborative project between Shadow Plastic x YUME. The “Tee Party” *is a purveyor of fine apparel and accessories. As a brand it acts as an umbrella for collaborative projects with respected individuals, artists, brands, boutiques, and major corporations and companies. As a business it gives a platform for the customer to take part in creating and purchasing truly limited and exclusive tees, sweats, remixed clothing, and other great goods. We provide gallery space for our collaborators to exhibit their work in a pop-up gallery format and the opportunity to have their artwork reach seen in a wider context by printing limited edition, tea-dyed, hand-printed tee shirts.
More Info after the jump.

EYD ONE (born 1985 in Komaki City, Japan) is an ever elusive graff writer, illustrator, tattoo artist and mural master known as dark and brooding with a mysterious glimmer to his smile. His work has appeared all over the streets of Japan (legally and illegally) and in several group shows in Tokyo and Osaka. In 2005, he moved to New York to make his mark in the New York street and fine art and fashion scene. You can see his murals in NY’s East Village boutique Bobby as well as on the walls of YUME itself.
Described as a mixture of dream and nightmare, EYD ONE’s work evokes a dichotomy of beauty and abject. It comments on the dual natures of humanity as a whole: our value structures, belief systems and personal feelings of fear and lonliness. Beneath these themes, there is a hint of hope and strength in that within the grotesque exists a true beauty that often goes unappreciated or ignored.
The Brooklyn Tee Party is proud to host EYD ONE’s first ever gallery show in America. We worked hard to convince him to come out of his realm of privacy and secrecy, which he guards even closer than his artwork, and we succeeded. His work will be available for purchase along with limited edition hand-printed, tea-dyed original tee-shirts with his signature artwork on it that you will only be able to purchase at YUME through The Brooklyn Tee Party. The artist will also be at the opening reception with his translator on hand for Q&A.
Please join us to help celebrate great artwork and the coming of the EYD ONE phenomenon. This may be the only chance you get to see this amazing artist’s work in person this side of the Atlantic. Email bktp [at] thebrooklynteeparty [dot] com for more information and viewing appointment schedule.
