Our Awesome Kitchen!!!

If you haven't been following either of Zoe or I on instagram (and you really should, btw), you may not have heard about our most recent project.  We hated the walls in our kitchen, which were plastered with faded, stained pages from an outdated atlas.  So, we decided to make and install our own wallpaper!  The design is a pattern of glitter and rock candy.  To create the pattern, we scanned in actual pieces of candy & glitter, so the wallpaper has a really cool 3-D effect to it.

SOFT MATTER in Manchester!

Some of Blake's work is going to be a part of the group exhibition, Soft Matter in Manchester, UK!  

Several of his illustrations were selected to be included in a hardback book, produced specifically for this event.  

The book contains the works of 15 artists and 13 writers (28 in all), responding to the theme for the exhibition.  The show takes place between 6th - 8th of May; after the event, a reprinted magazine edition of the publication will be available.

...more info to come, as we get closer to the opening!

Zoe at the OCCCA

Zoe's work, '925 Evergreen St.' was selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition, "HÔME" at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

The opening reception at the OCCCA is at 6pm on Saturday, July 5th.  The exhibition runs from the 5th, through the 26th of July.

The work, '925 Evergreen St.' is a part of Zoe's "Foamless = Homeless" series, which 'create[s] a narrative featuring an ambiguous  coming disaster, which could be natural or man-made.  Homes, and the notions of everyday life are threatened, so a solution is developed and propagated: cover your home in foam.' (ZP, 2014).  

Follow the links for previews to: the full series when it was installed in San Francisco, was featured in SF Art Enthusiast, related images, the "Foamless=Homeless" book, and an early, in-studio snapshot.

But remember to go and see the work in person, at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

Happy Valentine's Day (MORE FABRIC!)

Guess what just came in - more fabric!  

This is a super soft, cotton / silk blend fabric that we are using for another project (in addition to the leggings) that we are making.

Zoe created the fabric pattern.  The design is based on her multi media work "I Love You Honey, But It'll Never Work Out."

Fashion Laundrette

Blake has been updating his Saatchi page, and prints of several works are now available.
