News from San Francisco

Zoe writing:
So, I'm in San Francisco now, officially settled in. I'm in the MFA printmaking program at SFAI, and classes started a couple of weeks ago. I'm finally starting to move into my studio and begin work on a dollhouse project I've been planning for a while. 
The graduate studios at SFAI are amazing, and include a full digital lab, woodshop and a gallery. As well as classrooms, lounge and a lecture hall. The studio is in a giant building filled with other design studios and manufacturers, including a wonderful smelling chocolatier!             
Here's some photos from my studio:

SFAI studio hallways, orange doors for each studio block

One dollhouse down, 7 to go!

The lovely view from my studio window, you can see the bay peaking out in between the industrial stuff.
In other exciting news, our scarves can now be purchased at RGB on Fillmore street in the Marina! RGB is a women's clothing store and gallery. They have a steady rotation of really interesting shows.

Business Birds... yea - birds into 'business'...

Blake finally finished coloring / editing the collaborative image with Zoe: "Business Birds"
(although he might still make some further 'tweaks' on the birds, before the piece is printed)


The image is actually quite large, and will be available to purchase via our Etsy Site
...most likely before the end of next week.

New Projects

Apologies for the lack of updates on the blog... Blake and Zoe have been quite busy over the past few weeks, just for a quick rundown:


• Blake is still re-editing, doing color alterations, and soundtracking the stop-motion animation that we posted a preview image from earlier

Zoe is starting on a new project in San Francisco, using Doll Houses and some 'unique' materials (more on that later)


• Blake finally set up a SoundCloud Account, to host his mixes... he just posted something from a few days ago, click here

Blake is finally putting the finishing touches on a collaborative image that he was working on with Zoe earlier (preview below), called "Business Birds."  He just needs to 'amp up' the colors a bit more - basically, he's going to make the bird colors 'more like candy' and a bit fluorescent - instead of the more muted ones seen below: 


• Blake is also working on a project relating to memory, beginning specifically with his experience with a statue of Saint Lucy, a preview image of the first part of the image is below the "Business Birds".  It will be print that combines digital & serigraph techniques with added sculptural portions.
