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  We hated the walls in our kitchen, which were plastered with faded, stained pages from an outdated atlas.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