We would love to share with you this fantabulous Mushpa y Mensa Earth Day extravaganza!!! It is happening this very weekend!!! What? Yes!
La Mushpa y La Mensa will be selling wares in the flesh at The Market NYC (159 Bleecker Street) all weekend long (Friday – April 19th 12pm-9pm, Sat – April 20th 11am-9pm, and Sun – April 21st 12pm-8pm).
Please, if you live in the city or are visiting, make sure to stop by and show us some love. We are unveiling our much awaited 100% organic cotton shirt designs (“Put a Bird on It” designed by Mushpa and “Mama Earth” by Mensa). These shirts are printed using water-based eco-friendly inks (301 ECO-Series by Matsui), free of PVC, phthalate, heavy metals, azo compounds, nonylphenol and formaldehyde. We clean up after ourselves using mostly water. When necessary, we may use a citrus and soy based eco-cleaner from Chemical Consultants Incorporated. We also do everything by hand from the design, to printing transparencies, exposing the screens and lastly, printing them on the shirts.
It’s exhausting, but we are making art!

p.s. – We also have an official web url, www.mushpamensa.com. So official, check it out!
We write a bunch of blog entries about this and that, but I want to focus a bit on our baby Mushpa y Mensa today. I am going to send out fantastically positive energy to everyone to want what we have to offer.
Listen, I want to make it, not just for us realize, but for all the other artists, inventors and nerds who desire their freedom from a job they’ve never really loved. For all those who want to believe that it is possible to be happy in what you do. I want us to be that example where people say, “See anyone can make it if they do the work and believe.” Seriously, that is all anyone needs to do and we will prove it!
Here is my shameless self promotion below.

The great thing about having a home office is that everyday is casual Friday and sometimes your office mates have fur. :]
You should give it a try.

So what can we add to an already awesome t-shit to make it extra nice?
Well, how about some vertebral funk!
Yarn, scissors and a little creative juice

Ps. Gracias Mushpa for the absolute patience when trying these on!
Ms. Mensa and I needed a little fashion inspiration for some new shirts we are about to design, so we thought where better to go then New York Fashion Week! We choose the Vaute show to start off with, by designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, one because it was the first all vegan fashion label to show in NYFW and two because her stuff is mad cute. That’s what we are talking about people! :] Anyway, all her fashions are made from organic, recycled materials. The photo above is the Moleskin Quilted Emily Coat with Zip Off Hood modeled by Mary Kate from Mix. It’s vegan, eco-conscious, constructed locally in NYC. The fabrics are all recycled, 100% vegan shell lined with recycled satin liner and engraved tagua nut buttons, which is pretty badass. Check out the Vaute site to read more on her ethical, eco clothing line.
The show was sponsored by The Humane Society and Badass Brooklyn Rescue, so in the show were fashionable, adoptable furry friends. The models make-up was all vegan and done by the DeVita team, all vegan hair done by Salon Champu, amazing women’s shoes by designer Monisha Raja of Love is Mighty and the men’s shoes by Joshua Katcher who is righteous as well as fashionable at Brave Gentleman.
Below is the greatest vegan Tiramisu by Vegan Treats. We loved it!
Loved the dogs as well…
You can find them looking for love here.
I’m inspired.

Going through a big suitcase of shirts, and doing some inventory. Prep time until we get our screen printing materials!
I was looking through all the stuff and found some pretty cool shirts, like short sleeve sweatshirts, and pretty V-necks, and of course the original T!
We are in the process of sketching out our new designs and we will be screen printing in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye out world!
With much excitement,
-Mensa
