Electric Desert Parade

If you've ever camped overnight in the wilderness, you're probably familiar with the idea that nature truly comes alive at night. When the sun dips below the horizon, a symphony of sound and activity seems to erupt from the darkness. In the remote desert of Northeast Utah, artist Holls Walck (aka Pine Bones) is no stranger to this phenomenon. However, while some may see this as something scary, Holls takes a more lighthearted approach in their "Electric Desert Parade" design.

In the design, coyotes, rabbits, moths, owls, snakes and other desert creatures step out of the shadows into an intricate dance amongst the desert flora. The animals and plants glow with bioluminescent energy under the moon, stars, and a few stray comets. So don't hide in your tent, this bandana design is your exclusive invite to a cosmic party, raging just beyond the veil of night.

Canyonlands Field Institute (CFI) provides quality outdoor education on the Colorado Plateau to inspire care of wild places and renew the human spirit. CFI's programs are aimed at achieving their vision of a world where the people, wildlife, plants, and waters of the Colorado Plateau are healthy and vibrant.

Holls chose to specifically support CFI's Indigenous Youth Guides with their design. These guides lead land and river trips that help to provide children and adults hands-on, place-based learning about the biodiversity, climate, geography, archaeology, and indigenous cultures of the Colorado Plateau.

BANDITS is honored to team with Holls to support this incredible organization and encourage giving back to the local, regional, and national communities that sustain us, both human and ecological.
