Have you heard? Blik just turned 8 and we’ll be celebrating our birthday with you all month long.

Over the past eight years, we’ve launched so many great products and fantastic designs (even we forget some of them) that for 26 days in August, we’ll be retracing our steps and sharing a few of our favorites from A to Z. On each of the 26 days, we’ll be matching a letter of the alphabet to a featured graphic or in some cases an artist. The featured graphic will be 25% off for that one day only.

Make sure to follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook to see if your favorite graphic is on sale.

The small print: Blik’s A to Z runs August 2 - August 31, 2010 (excludes Sundays). Discount only applies to online orders with shipping to the U.S. and Canada.

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, Juxtapoz, Curated, The Riot Club, outblush, Urban 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.

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.

Hey, Threadless, the party was a blast! Thanks for stopping by Blik on your Everywhere Tour this afternoon. And thanks to everyone who came out to meet Threadless! You all impressed us with your bean baggin’ skills. We had a great time hanging out with some familiar faces and making new friends.

It was a gorgeous Venice, CA afternoon and thanks to Lake Street Creamery, we were able to cool off with free scoops. We screamed for flavors like Pancake Breakfast, Black Jack and Donut. And special thanks to Tami and her team at Pardee Properties for letting us use their lot. Location, location, location.

Don’t forget! All Threadless graphics are 15% off off today, July 16, from 12:00am to 11:59pm PST. Prices reflected on the product pages. There’s still time to start shopping!

Don’t let the summer heat get you down. Chill out at the Blik x Threadless Everywhere Tour Party in Venice on Friday, July 16^th from 12-2pm.

New Threadless: Need another reason to cool off? Blik to the rescue with three new graphics. Whether it’s the penguins in The Choir of Antarctica, the snow topped mountains in Grandma’s Hot Air Balloon, or the spine chilling ghosts in The Ugly Duckling, these graphics will turn up the A.C. in your space.

Our friends at Threadless are celebrating their 10^th anniversary and to celebrate they are traveling across the country in an Airstream trailer. On Friday, July 16 join us when Threadless stops by Blik for some afternoon mayhem from 12-2pm.

That’s plenty of time to show off your cornhole beanbaggin’ skills, get a temporary tat and indulge in ice cream (free scoop with coupon) from mobile ice cream parlour Lake Street Creamery. If you don’t come from a family of beanbag champions, then don’t be discouraged; you won’t leave empty handed! Spin the prize wheel to win Threadless for Blik graphics, custom tour tees, and many other sweet prizes. You can also bring out your inner artist by contributing to the large panels inside the Airstream mobile art studio and the doodle tables outside. Not to mention the afternoon will all go down in Flip cam history with Threadless interviews!

T.G.I.F. with Blik and Threadless! It’s the perfect way to spend your lunch break and kick off your weekend.

Location: The SE corner of Abbot Kinney & Venice Blvds, in Venice. Look for the Airstream van. R.S.V.P. here
