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  We hated the walls in our kitchen, which were plastered with faded, stained pages from an outdated atlas.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

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.

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...

Degree Show Documentation (Part 2 of 3)

And here's part two... 


"Chit Chat Tummy" by Blake Peterson & Zoe Phillips as installed at the Glue Factory, for the Glasgow School of Art MFA Degree Show.  


The structure (approx. 6ft wide x 4 ft tall) is coated with day-glow, glow-in-the-dark, and 'night glow' acrylic paint, in addition to: latex body paint, krink, watercolor pigment, metallic ink, screen-printing ink, and various battery-powered LED lights.  Additional materials were used in the construction of the base.


The video was placed within the structure, rather than being placed on a plinth, in an attempt to actively engage the viewer.  One has to slightly bend at the waist in order to view the monitor, leading viewers to become subconsciously aware of their own stomach.
