HOLIDAY SEES HEARTS: Boy Sees Hearts Launches Line of Exclusive Holiday Prints for Aha Life

Nov. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Boy Sees Hearts creator and founder, Eric Telchin reveals three holiday prints, exclusive to Aha Life for Holiday, 2011. Aha Life launches these prints as the online luxury shopping destination’s “Unique Discovery” for November 27, 2011.

Telchin’s library of thousands of hearts found in nature comprise these designs. In this series, two modern snowflake prints and the word ‘peace’ are created from Telchin’s unaltered iPhone hearts.  These museum quality giclee prints are available exclusively through Aha Life for the holiday season, starting at $40.

Regarding these prints, Aha Life said "You'd need the proverbial heart of stone not to respond to Eric Telchin's Boy Sees Hearts prints...a heartfelt way to send someone your love this holiday season—and to remind them that we’re surrounded by beauty, even if we don’t always notice it."

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

Regarding the holiday prints, Telchin said: “I wanted to create something special for Aha Life and its legions of fashionable fans for the holidays: a series of prints that are sophisticated, timeless and would last beyond the holiday season. By pairing the heart shape with the snowflake—two clichéd images--I wanted to design something beautiful, fresh and edgy. And like hearts, no two snowflakes are alike. ‘Peace’ coalesces Boy Sees Hearts by answering the question: “What if the world saw hearts.”

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.

collecting movement.”
