Why Charly Clements wanted to design a Face This T-shirt
I just loved what your charity stood for. I’ve lived in Indonesia for a few months in 2017 so I felt even more of a connection to the cause. I’ve also worked with children in the past, and I used art and play as a way for them to express themselves, so it felt like the perfect collaboration.

I saw happiness. Art has always been a kind of therapy for me so I just hope these kids never stop drawing, because the possibilities are endless.

How Charly Clements designed his Face This T-shirt
I used the main concept of mountains and trees from file 15, the face from file 21 and the airplane from file 14 . I loved the idea of pulling elements from different kids’ drawings and bringing them all together to tell a story.
