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  We hated the walls in our kitchen, which were plastered with faded, stained pages from an outdated atlas.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!

PLATFORM SHOES!!!

Zoe and I have been busy uploading new designs and patterns to our Print All Over Me Page!

Check it out, our newest addition is a pair of awesome platform shoes.  They're covered with a rock candy, confetti, and glitter print.  The shoes will only be available through April 30th, so grab them while you still can!  They're available in both men's and women's sizes.

Click the image, and you'll be taken directly to the sizing & product info.

OUR NEW SHOP and STUFF FOR SALE!!!!

Hi Everyone!  

Apologies, Zoe and I haven't been blogging much recently, but you should check out each of our Instagram pages - we've been working on a lot of different projects!!!  Here's a link to Zoe's, and here's a link to mine (Blake)

Serge Stops for a Smoke, by Zoe Phillips & Blake Peterson 2015

On our Instagram feeds, you'll find:

Zoe and I have been setting up our own in-house screen printing studio, making new animated videos, and drawings, amongst many other things.  We try and update our pages on a daily basis with new material, as we're working on it.

We have a new shop!

We were also given the opportunity to be a featured brand on a great new website, Lective.co.  It's an online marketplace where you can shop directly from the lookbooks, OOTDs, floor sets, looks of the day, and other cool content that brands and stores photograph & upload daily.  There's also a nice marketplace where you can even mix-and-match brands.  

But wait - there's MORE!

AAAnnnddd.... not only that - we opened up a shop on Print All Over Me! 

Zoe and I have purchased material from them before, and really liked the experience.  By choosing to work with them, we can very quickly take our patterns & format them for many different types of apparel

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!

Blake's Artwork in LUCY'S

Last month, we mentioned that Blake was asked to provide a selection of his artwork for a new Swiss-based arts and cultural Magazine, Lucy's.

We now can share a link to the publication's recently launched website.  Click Here.  

The magazine is available both online, and in print.

We also have a few other projects coming along as well...

Preview: selections from Blake's print series in "Lucy's"

My work is being featured in a new Swiss publication, titled Lucy's.  I am not fluent in German, but as I understand it, the article pertains to "the culture of drug use in Switzerland."  We'll have photos of a printed copy later, but here's a low resolution preview of the first two pages for now (the full article features 6 of my prints/ drawings) :

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