Coming soon, we’ll launch four new Pattern Wall Tiles from Threadless to add to our collection. Just like the first time, the Pattern Wall Tiles are eco-friendly, non-toxic and free of both PVC and phthalates. The repeating pattern wall tiles are movable, reusable and can be cut, crafted and arranged in any number of ways. Rotate them, combine patterns and use on any smooth flat surface. Last week, Blik co-founder Scott Flora put up the new “Conquered” pattern in his home. Take a look. We think it makes the room pop!

PAC-MAN Ghost

Get ready! We left a trail of pixel breadcrumbs that led NAMCO BANDAI’S PAC-MAN right into the doors of Blik. Now, you can bring home this worldwide phenomenon whose popularity has crossed the globe for over 30 years.

Who can forget the countless hours and quarters spent avoiding pesky ghosts while chompin’ on dots? Relive your childhood (or introduce this childhood favorite to your kids) with three scenes from the highest grossing video game of all time with PAC-MAN Ghost, PAC-MAN Maze & PAC-MAN Border. Let PAC-MAN roam your walls in search of bonus cherries, strawberries, oranges and melons as he skillfully avoids those pesky ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde.

Don’t forgot your mission: Navigate the maze. Eat dots. Avoid ghosts.

A Mutual Bond & Beyond the Borough

Looking to add a little mod to your home? You’re in luck. Today we are releasing four playful geometric patterns from renowned fine artist and celebrated graphic designer Rex Ray. The wall graphics embody Ray’s signature mid-century modern aesthetic with abstract images and hand-cut shapes.

We are kicking off the initial Rex Ray/R2 Lab collection with A Mutual Bond, Skyline Rhythm, Spontaneous Horizon and Beyond the Borough. The minimalist designs are sure to add a cool modern flair to your walls.

And if you’re thinking that you’ve seen Rex Ray before – you probably have. His paintings and design work have been exhibited at galleries and museums, including The San Francisco MoMA, San Jose MoMA, The Crocker Museum in Sacramento, University Art Museum in Berkeley, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and MCA Denver. He’s also a celebrated graphic artist and has worked on a wide range of custom projects for Apple, Dreamworks, Swatch and David Bowie among others.

Hot off the press! InStyle’s gigantic September issue is out and features the beautiful Beyonce Knowles on the front cover. However, there’s more than just a diva in this magazine.

In the Life, Etc. section, InStyle dives into the “Think Tank” where style-setters dish on their top wallet-friendly decor faves. Andy Griffith and Rose Apodaca, owners of A+R right here in Venice, chose our Mina Javid Tripod Light decal from Blik as their pick.

According to them: “Wall decals are easy to apply and provide an expressive pop of color or design to any area.” Thanks Rose and Andy! Pick-up a copy today and flip to page 618. Or better yet, pop over to our online shop and pick up a Tripod Light for yourself.

Pick-up a copy of The New York Times today and flip to the Home section. Our new wall puzzles by A Modern Eden are featured in Currents. They love the interactivity of the puzzles and how they function as both a game for preschoolers as well as a decorative accent. Of course, we couldn’t agree more, but we think Scott sums up the draw of the puzzles best:

“Once you get it on your wall, it’s this beautiful thing. But at the same time, it requires some assembly, and you’re teaching your child about how things go together.”

Peacock at Night

All aboard! Blik is taking you on a journey to see the magical, the mysterious and the just plain weird. We know by now you must be familiar with our Threadless Especial line, a curated collection of Threadless graphics handpicked by both Blik and Threadless. Get your cameras ready, the next stop on our tour is three new graphics at Blik.

Peacock at Night features a nocturnal peacock with the most ornate feathers you’ve ever seen. Skyrides is a fantastical journey of two little mice who’ve hitched a ride on a gondola between two giraffes. Monstrous Chemistry stars an assortment of strange monsters that are likely responsible for when things go bump in the night.

All three designs are available today at Blik. If you like the designs, don’t forgot to pop over to Threadless to get the matching tees.

Skyrides

Monstrous Chemistry

As part of our extra special birthday month, we wanted to give you a glimpse into our homes. Every other month, we’ll take you on a tour through a home of one of the Blik founders or staffers. The first stop on our journey is the crib of Blik’s co-founder Scott Flora. While many of the walls in Scott’s house have Blik graphics, we present to you three distinct rooms.

In his living room, we see Hybrid Design’s “Heart Breakout” in a delicious cotton candy hue. The striking David Bray graphic “I Never Saw the Sign” is prominently featured on the back wall with a glimpse of “Anise” on the far right peeking in from another room.

His daughter Aja’s room is bright and cheery with “Flutter” decals by Christy Flora. In the midst of the butterflies, lies Christy Flora’s original handmade paper butterfly box.

Lastly, one can gaze into the large “Fernwood Mirror” in Scott’s guest bathroom. It adds a perfect touch of elegance and boldness to the space.

If there’s one thing you can learn from Scott’s home, it is you can never have too much Blik. We’ll be back in November with another chapter of Blik in our homes. Stay tuned!

You may remember our friends from A Modern Eden who brought you “Animals Alphabetized,” “Polar Composition,” and “King of the Jungle.” Guess what? They are back with more of their modernly-illustrated animals.

Grassland & Farm Wall Puzzles

Their new Wall Puzzles come in four different habitats: “Grassland,” “Rainforest, “Farm” and “Polar” and each form a 36” x 9” animal scene. Made with Blik Re-Stik™, the wall puzzles are extremely durable, movable and reusable. Individually, the puzzles are not too difficult for toddlers, but when all four sections are aligned in a row (36” x 9”) to make one 36-piece single scene, they become an engaging challenge for preschoolers. Best of all, they don’t use any precious table space and will hang out until your child is ready to play.

Now, step away from that ordinary puzzle and get sticky with A Modern Eden’s Wall Puzzles.
