Recent Gluekit illustration for Fortune Magazine. Flying high in the hip hip mod sky!
Oh, whoozy whoo! Gluekit has finally gotten it together and launched a GLUESTORE! (About time we gave peeps a way to purchase our fine tees, prints, and other doo-dads.) To launch this exciting affair, we’ve priced everything, including this awesome and amazing Mountains Rock tee (a collaboration with Miss Amy Jean Porter) at a most excellent and affordable price of $14.00. Yes, that’s right, fourteen buckaroonies!
There is a small catch. A number of the items come in limited sizes or colors. For instance, Mountains Rock is available only in Women’s Medium/One Size Fits All (oh, and we know that claim isn’t true!), on the seemly gold shown in the pretty pink publicity shot above. It’s how the apple rolls in Gluetown as we’re sorting out our affairs. As an upshot, you get a super limited edition kind of product.
Mountains Rock does make a snappy tee for small stature mountain-climbing enthusiasts and ladies who love cute rockin’ characters. Perhaps someday we’ll reprint for all the gents out there who love the alpine heights.
Gluekit likes Amy Jean Porter, collaborative projects, and making our things available at long last! Hurrah!
Whoo! Gluekit’s super excited to announce that Urban Outfitters is now selling a gift card designed by us! We’re not sure these are being sold in stores, but they are definitely available online. But– and it’s a big but– if you purchase a gift card, it’s a grab bag sort of thing, and you may get any one of the four currently on sale.
Really, it’s not too bad a deal though, because the other gift cards are awesome too, featuring work by Robin Cameron, Deanne Cheuk, and Andrew Kuo as well as yours truly. It’s some super hot company to find ourselves in, and we are stoked.
About the gift card– if you look carefully, you can kind of see the dancing brick man who appeared in Exit Strategy #2, as well as our favorite leaping tiger silhouette. The card also features a mix and mash sort of hand-drawn illustration style that we’ve been experimenting with and luv-luv-loving.
Gluekit loves patterns and woodgrain, circles, squares, and bricks. Hurrah!
Gluekit loves bricks. Blank walls too.
In the spirit of our Ping Pong tee, here’s a proposal for another Gluekit shirt we hope to make some day soon. There’s just something about simple lines and spare design that makes us woozy. Bricks and stones may dress our bones, and new designs always make us chuckle.
Gluekit was super excited when our Fragments Bag was featured in Print and How magazines. It’s one of our favorite pieces. [We also made a super specialized edition of the bag with the hearts embroidered in red.] Anyways, we’ve still got a few left in stock for a very reasonable $18.00 + s/h. They are very handy for library visits, for toting groceries, and for hauling around the fragments of a modern life.
Gluekit likes tote bags and making up for lost time!
Gluekit still loves the spreads we did for the now defunct magazine The Drama. These photo-pictorials are some of the most challenging, and most rewarding, projects we’ve done. Honestly, we’d love more chances to costume ourselves and play with language in a physical space.
We’re completely stoked that spreads from the Beating a Dead Horse project are published under Gluekit’s profile in Contemporary Graphic Design, just out on Taschen. It’s truly an honor to be included in the book.
Gluekit likes cavorting in big open white spaces!
Preliminary drawing for a New York Times Book Review illustration for “God’s Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America,” a new book by Hanna Rosin. Surprise fact: Rosin was played by Chloe Sevigny in the movie Shattered Glass, about the New Republic’s fallen angel, Stephen Glass!
We like six degrees of separation games.
