Street Artist Moves Indoors: Blik welcomes SAN

san_blogimage2

Put out the welcome mat, the renowned Spanish street artist SAN is tangled up with Blik. SAN has taken his work indoors and designed a piece specifically for Blik —  with your walls in mind. He makes light of the fact that the graphic is self-adhesive by adding nails and string to “attach” the design to the wall.

Titled “ A Host of Fetishes” the decal is a jumbled and chaotic collection of various objects from a compass, bird skull, broken clock, spindle wheel to dice and plenty of nails to go with it.

As Seen In: Facebook’s Headquarters

facebooksecurityteamOn Monday, CNet.com published an article on Facebook’s security team. We’re sure the article was interesting and all, but we couldn’t get past the image of the security team sitting in their conference room. Whose got the backs of the Facebook security team, keeping them safe from dark forces? None other than Super Mario Bros by Blik. Who else?!

As Seen In: Babble & Ohdeedoh

As you know, we love Threadless and our Threadless for Blik wall graphics. So, it’s always nice to see others love them as much as we do. The graphics have gotten two big shout-outs this week from Babble’s Family Style blog and Apartment Therapy’s Ohdeedoh. Two of our go-to sites for nursery and kid’s room design ideas.

Dress Your Walls in Threadless Designs (Babble)

We think the writer says it best: “Well Blik teamed up with Threadless to create the most unique, the most artistic, the most unbelievably cool wall decals ever.”

As Seen In: The New York Times

ny_times_blog

Pick up a copy of The New York Times Home section* today and take a look at page D7. See someone familiar? Yep, it’s us! Our friend, architect Barbara Bestor is profiled in the paper’s “Shopping With” column. In the column, Barbara peruses wall covering options from wallpaper to wall decals. At Blik, Barbara selected Asteroids and the Wrought Iron Headboard as her favorites. According to her: “The advantage of a decal is that you get to really individualize your environment with about as much effort as putting a poster on the wall.”

We could not have said it better ourselves. Congrats to Barbara on the great article and thanks for the Blik mention!

As Seen In: Us Weekly

We don’t usually name drop, but did you know that Ryan Kwanten of True Blood is a fan of Blik?

This week’s Us Weekly mentioned that Ryan had our fabulous Olive Tree wall graphic. We don’t mean to quibble, but Ryan actually has our Cyclamen and Spiderweb graphics, not Olive Tree.

We do agree with Us that Blik is a great way to decorate your digs instantly and liven up your space. Plus, Olive Tree is a fun way to bring nature indoors without having to remember to water daily  — something we always forget. Our suggestion? Get both Cyclamen and Olive Tree and forget that it’s cold outside (or raining if you live in California!)

Recently, Image Interiors featured Blik in their September/October 2010 issue.  The magazine highlighted Blaine Fontana’s Fernwood Mirror in the “Wonder Walls” decorating ideas section. They suggest making a statement in a room with this graphic by placing a mirror or picture in the center to transform empty wall space.

Blik can also be found in the September 2010 issue of Family Circle in the Cool for School section.  They  recommend using Mina Javid’s Nico Headboard to make back to school decorating a trendy and simple experience. We couldn’t agree more!

As Seen in: Ilan Dei Press Round-up

With Ilan Dei wall graphics it’s easy to bring the great outdoors, indoors. A few weeks ago we launched two new designs from Ilan: Rose and Calla. These fabulous wall graphics are catching the attention of nature lovers all over the web. The graphics can be found sprouting up in the Los Angeles Times Home section, JuxtapozCuratedThe Riot Club, outblushUrban Flea, and Today’s Nest.

The Los Angeles Times calls them: “The ultimate drought-tolerant houseplant.”
Juxtapoz talks about how “Dei’s inspiration for the botanical graphics came from his love of nature combined with his clean design aesthetic.” And according to Urban Flea: “I think I should just officially declare today “Wall Day…” I can’t seem to escape it!”

Check them out for yourself and start Blik-ing your walls with these botanical graphics today.

As Seen In: Ladies’ Home Journal

Blik was featured in the July Issue of Ladies’ Home Journal in the Home: Living Beautifully section. The magazine showcased Blik’s Classic Chair Backs from Studio Jan Habraken and how the decals can be cleverly used to spruce up lawn furniture. Old chairs can instantly be transformed into charming backyard conversation pieces with an ammonia-based cleaner, spray paint, and Blik of course! Sounds like a good summer project to us.

Wow! We are thrilled with the recent accolades Blik has received.

Earlier this month, the fashion and culture tastemakers at Style Section L.A. profiled Blik and declared “adding high drama to your abode is as easy as peel-and-stick.” We could not agree more. We also loved being called a genius wall decal company. A little flattery goes a long way!

Entrepreneur’s Annual 100 Brilliant Ideas (June issue) looked at 10 areas that are growing fast and in each area they found 10 companies that bring jaw-dropping ingenuity to the table. And (drumroll, please) Blik was chosen as the top company in the Home Improvement category. Pick-up a copy of the June issue today to read about how Blik is bringing high design to the masses.
