In memory of Elf MPC aka Carlucci Bencivenga, Alife NYC is releasing a t-shirt.
"Alife lost a dear friend last year: Carlucci Bencivenga, also known as ELF MPC.
Hailing from the Bronx, in his early days Carlucci ran with the infamous MPC crew, and his influence on ALIFE predates the inception of The Alife, Inc.
Carl was an endless stream of ideas and inspirations. He has been an inspiration to us and to the entire neighborhood of the Lower East Side ever since he touched down here, years ago.
We all miss him dearly and daily. We have designed this tee shirt as a memorial piece to Carl.
All proceeds from the sales of this piece will go to the Bencivenga family."

Carlucci was like my brother. We were often mistaken for actual brothers due to how similar our hair was. I helped him get his Big gasket jewelry line started. I did high end work and he comes to me with meat-grinder gaskets to turn into neclaces…. That was Carlucci. He used to crash at my place in JC after working on our art and designs.
He was one of my groomsmen. I miss him dearly, and wished my little girls could have met laughy the clown in person. He is missed.
