I've been back to back with work and clients so it's been pretty non-stop. I did find this video stop-worthy however. Enjoy!

Marshmallow roast poster

2012-01-27T17:33:00.005-05:00

I have to admit. I didn't know how to spell marshmallow before I made this poster. Now I do! New poster for Foxy Loxy Marshmallow event. If you are in the area go Saturday night. Happy weekend.

Nick Offerman

2012-01-24T12:30:00.001-05:00

I absolutely LOVE that actor Nick Offerman succeeded in Hollywood as tv show Parks and Recreation's character Ron Swanson AND has serious woodworking talent. I saw this cover of American Craft Magazine this weekend and had to share my enthusiasm for his success.

Liza Lou

2012-01-24T12:26:00.000-05:00

I had the good fortune to see artist Liza Lou's show before they took it down from the SCAD museum. Photos do not do the work justice so if you are able to ever see it somewhere GO! It is really amazing.

These scene is from Liza Lou's airstream. The whole interior is constructed from beads. THE WHOLE INTERIOR!

Beautiful stacking of sheets of beads

a bead net of sorts.

New Waves Towel

2012-01-20T17:57:00.002-05:00

New waves print. I'll sew them up this weekend and post the real deal.

Knotty Cheap Thrill

2012-01-13T17:31:00.001-05:00

Pick up one of these knot totes and go fill it with awesome stuff this weekend. Like cheese sandwiches and tea for a park date! Happy weekend people.

Updates

2012-01-08T14:13:00.003-05:00

Week 1 of my yearlong schedule is so far so good. This week I scheduled myself to finish my tea towel website. I wrapped up the lightbox part of my site today so now you can see the towel images bigger! See it here.

Is that you Elmo?

2012-01-06T09:27:00.000-05:00

Looks like Elmo and his posse hitched a ride with our garbage pick up yesterday. Happy Friday!

Working Class Studio 2012 Catalog

2012-01-05T14:10:00.002-05:00

The Kay Collection has been out for a few years now but I still get a thrill seeing it in print. I designed our new catalog at work which just arrived today and I am excited to see a great poolside shot of my collection on the cover. I also uploaded the catalog to Issuu, a free online publication site. Take a look.

New Year New Thoughts

2012-01-05T13:39:00.001-05:00

WOW what a year! The last few months flew by with projects and work. I am organizing myself and my thoughts so expect a review of a few things in the weeks to come now that my pace has slowed down a bit. A monthly schedule kept me motivated last year and I was able to finish several projects that had been on hold as well as take on new ones. I am going to take the same approach this year so I can maintain my momentum.

January's task—websites. My web skills are by no means well developed, however, I know enough to make some simple sites to showcase my work. I have broken my monthly goals down into weeks to stay on track. This week my goal was to design a site to showcase all my tea towel designs. Feast your eyes on hideandseekstudio.com. I want to add a lightbox so viewers can see the towel pics bigger. I have the rest of the week to figure that out. After that I will spend the next three weeks working on my long overdue portfolio site. Here's to another productive year!

Star Trek and Forever 21

2011-11-27T09:00:00.001-05:00

It's been fun having time to cruise around the internet over my Thanksgiving break at home. Hope you had a nice turkey time if that was your thing. If it's not your thing I hope you had a nice time anyways! I wanted to share this forever21 Star Trek connection. I am pretty excited about it.

Grace Bonney Lecture

2011-10-26T10:53:00.000-04:00

My posts have been few and far between as of late but it's because I am busy doing awesome stuff! Like tomorrow night—Grace Bonney will be in Savannah giving a lecture and also doing a book signing. I have my tickets in hand and ready to go. If you can make it I will see you there!

Oh yay!

2011-10-12T16:03:00.001-04:00

Last night I cracked open my Lucky Magazine to find a great shopping guide to Savannah. And guess what?! Our little Creative Coast Gallery received a little mention in the ARC blurb. Very cool! Ben and I have been working to get the gallery component off the ground so it was really nice to see a shout out. Thanks Lucky!

Back in the Day Bakery

2011-10-12T15:56:00.001-04:00

Yesterday Ben and I were happy to be on set at Back in the Day Bakery. They were filming the trailer to promote their upcoming cook book release. We love everyone there and were so honored to be a part of it. I hope we make the final cut. Haylie came down (left) and Cheryl inspired us with treats!

2011-10-12T15:19:00.001-04:00

I've been wanting to work on some lettering for a while now so I took the Savannah Skates "All hands on deck" silent auction show as an opportunity to do so. My deck. Reception this Friday at Little Beast Gallery. Proceeds benefit the future Savannah skatepark.

Invites

2011-10-05T10:01:00.000-04:00

Lots of work coming through lately (yay!). I teamed up with my pal Carrie Christian, owner and teacher at Scribble Art Studio, to offer birthday party invites and cupcake toppers to her clients. Below is a sample of toppers pre-toothpick and then the coordinating invitation.

I thought this was creepy but great at the same time. Artist Hubert Deprat works with insects to create sculptures. Read more about it here. Take that Crystal Castles!

Foxy Loxy Print Gallery & Cafe

2011-09-27T10:19:00.002-04:00

I'm happy to say I have been working for my friend Jen Jenkins who recently opened her coffee shop Foxy Loxy Print Gallery & Cafe. I designed her branding and print collateral along with the look of her website. I went there today to get an americano and it was great to see some of the collateral together. More to come!

Wood as textile

2011-09-23T08:26:00.001-04:00

Happy Friday! Here is a beautiful furniture piece by Lenneke Langenhuijsen. The fabric is actually a wooden textile made by the artist. It reminds me of something in Super Mario Brother land.
