Threadless x Blik Tour: July 16

threadless_everywhere_logo21Our friends at Threadless are celebrating their 10th 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

GIVEAWAY: ILAN DEI STUDIO SIDE TABLE

Venice neighbor and frequent collaborator, Ilan Dei just added two new wall graphics to his existing popular collection at Blik. Ilan’s inspiration for the “Calla” and “Rose” botanical graphics came from his love of nature combined with his clean design aesthetic. Calla is towering calla lillies standing over 6ft tall that command attention on any surface, while Rose plays on the iconic shape and quality of a rose.

GIVEAWAY! To celebrate the launch of the new graphics, we are giving away two side tables from the Ilan Dei Studio. The table is perfect for indoor or outdoor summer entertaining. Retailing for $240 each, the weather-resistant plywood and acrylic side tables are part of the Studio’s Aquarium Collection. Inspired by light, the acrylic top is translucent and casts an amber glow when the table is placed in direct sunlight. Even better, the table comes with two sheets of vintage Ilan Dei for Blik “Nature” wall graphics that can easily be applied underneath the acrylic top to create a custom one-of-a-kind piece. You stick it and Blik it.

Contest Details: Comment on this blog post or like us on Facebook and let us know what you think of the table and where you’d use it this summer. On June 24, we’ll pick two design savvy winners who will each receive an Aquarium side table. The giveaway is only open to residents in the contiguous United States (excludes Alaska and Hawaii.) Contest runs from June 16, 2010 at 12:00am PST to 11:59pm PST on June 23, 2010. Winners will be notified on June 24, 2010.

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who entered the Ilan Dei side table giveaway. We had so many creative entries that it was hard to make a decision, but we are thrilled to announce the two winners are: Ben from Kenosha, WI and Jeff from Harpers Ferry, WV. We thought Jeff’s reaction to learning he was a winner was priceless, but we’ll let you decide for yourselves:
“OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Are you serious? OMG! OMG! OMG! I have had the worst week ever & being a winner of this amazing table would really make me entire month! Are you serious? OMG! I think I’m going to faint! Thank you SOOOO much Blik! I love your stuff & now I love you more!!!!! Have an amazing day!”

STEP INSIDE THE SURREAL WORLD OF CRAOLA & WIN A TOY

86503630

LA-based surrealist painter, Greg “Craola” Simkins created three new dark and mysterious graphics for Blik: “Raptor,” Parrot” and “Charon.” The graphics embody a fantasy world of vivid nature images coined by Simkins as the eco-structure of “The Outside.” According to Simkins, “The Outside” is a world in which to escape and inhabit, and for others to enjoy.

Now that you’ve seen all three new graphics - what’s your favorite? Follow @whatisblik on Twitter and tweet about your favorite Craola graphic from Wednesday, June 2 until Thursday, June 3 at 11:59pm PST. Five lucky followers will be randomly selected to win a 7” Cap’n Rothclaw vinyl toy, hand-signed by Simkins in a collector’s box.

Who you ask is Cap’n Rothclaw? His treasure is only the most elusive booty in these briny seas – with working claws for extra scuttling poseability and menace. Aye! He’s the perfect companion for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Details: Make sure you include @whatisblik in your tweet. One entry per person.

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.
