Say GOODBYE to flat monochromatic walls and say HELLO to vibrant blocks of color. Color Block graphics by Mina Javid use color and crisp geometry to change the perception of your space. How cool is that?

We are thrilled to be pairing up again with LA architect and designer Mina Javid for color blocking graphics. The graphics are designed to influence more space than a single, flat wall. Think large panels of color that can organically grow into a piece of art on a wall or wrap around corner or ceiling. Color blocking is available in two sets: Color Block Parallel and Color Block Slant. Each set comes in four color combinations, all of which complement one another. The line is designed to be mixed and interlocked.

 
WHAT’S COLOR BLOCKING?
In the simplest form, it’s the composition of color groups that both support and complement each other. Mina thinks spatially and envisions color blocking as a tool to create vibrant, livable spaces.

WHY COLOR BLOCKING AT BLIK?
We love Mina’s idea of taking simple forms and shapes in color-coordinated shades, allowing you (the consumer) to layer and build on a dramatic scale. We want you to take a chance, have fun and play with the existing angles and lines throughout your home.


 
WHERE WOULD YOU COLOR BLOCK? TELL US & WIN
Color blocking will resonate with those of you who grew up playing with LEGOS and colored blocks. You can follow the directions and make exactly what’s on the package or take it to another level and create your own design. To encourage you to take a chance and tap your creativity, we’re giving away 3 sets of Color Block Parallel and 3 sets of Color Block Slant. To enter to win*, tell us where you’d begin your color blocking journey.

And remember, playing with blocks is always fun!

Giveaway Details: The Color Block giveaway runs from April 10 until 11:59pm PST on April 14, 2013. To enter, leave your comment below. Valid only for US and Canada residents. Winners will be announced on this blog on April 16.

We asked new Blik artist Amelie Mancini of Left Field Cards to share with us five fun facts about herself. Left Field Cards x Blik wall graphics launched yesterday (MLB opening day) and we can’t get enough of her witty, playful style. Take it away, Amelie!

1. Left Field Cards started in late summer 2011, when this funny idea of making my own baseball cards popped into my head. I bought a few linoleum blocks, some linocutting tools, inks and started carving. At the time, I was in between jobs and had no money, but plenty of time on my hands! Block printing doesn’t cost much to get started and I’m a hard believer in DIY so I thought, why not print my own baseball cards? It will be fun! Maybe other people will like them! (They did).

2. I was born and raised in France where we don’t have baseball. It’s a little weird to have become so obsessed over something I knew nothing about until my late twenties, but now I can’t imagine my life without baseball! I barely survive the off-season.

3. I was peer-pressured by my Brooklyn-bred friends into becoming a Mets fan and not a Yankee fan. I had no idea what I was getting into at the time but now I wouldn’t change it. Someday the Mets will be good. And that day my heart will be filled with such incredible joy. I actually have dreams about the Mets winning the World Series. It’s the purest kind of happiness I’ve ever experienced, albeit in dream form. I really hope they win someday. Oh man.

 
4. If I were a baseball player, I would like to be a catcher. To be honest I like telling people what to do, and I would like to be able to do that by simply flashing secret signs with my fingers! Catchers are so bad-ass: look at Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, Johnny Bench, Gary Carter, Buster Posey… I’m excited about this new Travis d’Arnaud kid the Mets just got! And of course my favorite baseball movie is Bull Durham.

5. I have been to eight ballparks so far and it is my personal goal to go to every Major League ballpark in the country. Another goal of mine is to eat hot dogs in all of these different ballparks. And watch baseball. I have big dreams.

Thanks, Amelie! Shop the entire Left Field Cards collection at Blik and let us know which graphic is your favorite.

 
Are you a baseball superfan? So excited that it’s opening day! Yeah, us too. Today we’re bringing the best-loved cult baseball artist in Brooklyn to your walls. Say hello to Amelie Mancini and Left Field Cards. We’ve teamed up to launch three baseball designs based on Amelie’s artisanal line of letterpress baseball cards. The Blik collection is launching with three wall graphics: Marvelous Moustaches, Pitching 101 and Throwback Uniforms.

PRODUCTS:
Marvelous Moustaches includes busts of six players with their fantastic lady-ticklers: The Chevron, The Magnum, The Combo, The Painter’s Brush, The Trucker and The Handle Bar. Marvelous Moustaches are sold individually.

 
Can you tell a curveball from a forkball? Is your favorite pitch the knuckleball? Learn how to pitch in nine steps with Pitching 101. The set includes nine different ways pitchers grip the ball before releasing it. Sold in a single set: Sinker, Two-Seam Fastball, Cutter, Four-Seam Fastball, Forkball, Change-Up, Slider, Knuckleball and Curveball.

 
Throwback Uniforms are sold in a set of six with uniforms from every 25 years from 1875 to 2000. The set includes: 1875, 1900, 1925, 1950, 1975 and 2000.

 
THE MONET OF BASEBALL CARDS
Amelie, a French-born artist, had never encountered a baseball card until a couple of years ago. She started Left Field Cards after having completed a series of seven large paintings about baseball. In October of 2011, she decided to combine her two passions, art and baseball, to create the first and only letterpress baseball cards. Last year, The Wall Street Journal referred to her as, “The Monet of Baseball Cards” and ESPN called Left Field Cards, “the coolest baseball cards of the year.”

BLIK + LEFT FIELD CARDS = A HOME RUN
We love baseball and wanted to celebrate opening day in an artful way that related to the history of this great American pastime. Amelie’s style fits perfectly with Blik’s sensibility. We were drawn to her simple illustrations and her witty and playful style.
