We at Monster Fresh love The Upper Playground and the crew of incredibly talented artists that regularly collaborate with them.  After the tragedy in Haiti last month, UP stepped up with a 50% Off sale to benefit the disaster victims.  The sale applied to everything, even the fine art prints were 1/2 off, and for every shirt purchased, another shirt was also donated for the cause.  As if that wasn’t enough, now the the folks at UP have teamed up with the likes of Quentin Tarantino, SA Studios Global, and The Weinstein Company in an effort to raise even more money for the Nation in turmoil.  Using Tarantino‘s latest Oscar-nominated film, Inglourious Basterds, as their muse, 13 of today’s biggest artists contributed their own rendition of poster art from the film.  Included among the artists are such talents as Munk One, David Choe, Alex Pardee, and Jeremy Fish; each of which brings their own trademark styles and unique approach to their pieces.  However, while some artists’ works are more instantly recognizable, like N8 Van Dyke‘s, others display a completely different aspect to their work, (see: Sam Flores‘ print, pictured above).  Each of the 13 prints will run in an extremely limited series only 6 each.  Each print will also be signed by Tarantino himself and will go on sale tonight (Feb. 18)  from 6-9 at the Upper Playground location in Los Angeles.  All profits will be donated to the American Red Cross to aid in the Haiti Earthquake relief effort.  Here’s a great opportunity to contribute to a noble cause, while investing in something that is guaranteed to multiply in value, almost immediately.
