Boy Sees Hearts Launches Limited Time Artwork Sale At Celebrated Fashionstake.com

Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Eric Telchin’s Boy Sees Hearts artwork will reach FashionStake’s legions of fashionistas starting on Monday, November 7, 2011 during a “Flash Sale”. Twenty Five signed and framed prints from $70-$250, including several exclusive pieces to FashionStake are available at a deep discount.

Eric Telchin’s mission is simple: Change the world, one heart at a time.

While hosting a party in July 2009, Eric saw a puddle of melted ice cream form a heart on his kitchen counter. Since then, he has captured 3000 hearts and makes artwork from the unaltered iPhone images. With Boy Sees Hearts prints, he encourages the viewer to discover beauty in their own surroundings.

Dial Books for Young Readers, an esteemed imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group, will publish a book of Telchin’s hearts in Fall 2012 that will be marketed to readers of all ages and will convey Boy Sees Hearts’ universal message: Love is everywhere.

“The best thing about Boy Sees Hearts is not what I create, though,” Telchin adds. “It’s how it changes the viewer’s perception of their world. Then they start seeing hearts. That’s something that will last a lifetime.”

Eric has seen and captured 3000 hearts since that sweet puddle formed. His prints have been featured prominently on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, luxury retail web sites, newspapers, international magazines and blogs.

His charitable organization, Kids See Hearts brings the brand’s inspiring message to elementary school children. His first Kids See Hearts visit commenced on February 14, 2011. Since that day he has shared the hearts with 1000 elementary school students in South Florida schools.

Mrs. Reisner’s 2010-2011 second grade class at Margate Florida will be thrilled to see the book next fall. After all, they’ve been seeing hearts since Eric’s visit last March.

“Hearts have changed my life,” wrote one student, several months after the Kids See Hearts symposium. “When I see a heart it makes me think of love,” said Vasha. Sharia added, “You’ve changed my life. Now I see hearts all over the place!”

If an oil spill can change the world, so can a puddle of melted ice cream, right?
