Pink Mountains - Preview

We have been going through our archives, and uncovering new works.  Here is one gem we've uncovered... and we'll be using it for an upcoming project!

WEBSITE AND OTHER COOL STUFF!!!

Blake and Zoe have been quite busy!

Zoe is currently working on several projects - each scheduled to be shown over the course of her upcoming exhibitions, including Currency at the San Francisco Mint.  

These pieces include several new animatronic creatures, more books, and prints.  In addition to all of this, there will be new "Foamless=Homeless" material... including 'Government Sponsored' N.A.A.F. (National Association for Foam Fortification) informational booklets and safety kits!!!

[sorry we're holding back a bit on details/ images this time... but it WILL be cool]

Blake has been assisting with these projects, in addition to establishing his own website.

The site, www.blakepetersonart.com/ is an online portfolio, which collects a selection of Blake's 'fine art' pieces (including collaborations), in addition to several of his commercial projects.  Please take some time to explore the site (and watch the videos!), and come back again - as it will be continually updated.

Blake will also have some more preview images of new work here on the blog soon.

AND - in the near future, there will be some more web-specific updates...

Scarves Almost Ready!

It has been a hectic, but productive few weeks.  Zoe and I are together again in San Francisco!

While getting accustomed to a new city and getting moved into an apartment, we have been working on quite a few different projects: a few prints, drawings, potentially a new book project... AND we're completing new scarves!

Once we have ironed the fabric and hemmed the edges, we will upload proper photographs with purchase information!

New Fabric Pieces

Zoe and I have been working on some new fabric pieces.


We already have them printed onto fine organic silk, we just haven't made the cuts or hemmed the edges.  


But here are some preview pictures of the original designs.

Additionally, here are some alternate images that sort of 'grew' out of the original images, which are going to be completed in a different medium.

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:

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. 

Preview of hemmed silk scarves

Yesterday we finished hemming our scarves! Expect to seem them for sale by the end of next week. We designed them, had them printed on silk and Zoe gave each scarf a nice french-rolled hem.

Silly Silk Scarf

Here's a preview of some really awesome SILK scarves that Blake & Zoe printed a week ago, using the fabric printer at GSA. Zoe did the original character drawings, Blake did the coloring, and the two of them worked together to determine the patterning.

They haven't had a chance to cut them down yet, but they'll be available at some point in the near future.

The scarves incredibly soft and feel great against your skin.
