About

While hosting a party at his home in July, 2009, Eric Telchin spilled chocolate ice cream on his kitchen counter.  He noticed that the puddle formed the shape of a heart and he grabbed his iPhone to snap a picture.  Since then, Eric has seen thousands of hearts in the unlikeliest places, on everything from egg yolks to palm trees. He photographs these hearts and transforms them into abstract and representational art. In October, 2010 he launched BoySeesHearts.com, a site dedicated to sharing this new form of art. Within the first four months of its inception, Boy Sees Hearts artwork has been celebrated on network prime time television and featured in magazines, newspapers, blogs and luxury retail web sites. His educational program, Kids See Hearts transports the message of Boy Sees Hearts to schools. His charitable arm, World Sees Hearts donates 50% of proceeds from prints to anti-bullying organizations.
