There is a local artist around these parts who we just love and adore. Maggie Mailer – and she just had an exhibit open Saturday night at the Ferrin Gallery in Pittsfield, Ma.
So, I’m walking around admiring the colors, the mood of these pieces – I ain’t no art critic, but I really dug these [...]

Roman Klonek designed one of my favorite new bags that we loving like to call “Chicken or the Egg”.
and also in Russian (the backside):
Here’s his website – I love the homepage:
Roman is from Poland (Kattowitz) and now lives in Germany. Got all that? He studied Graphic Arts in Duesseldorf and discovered a passion for woodcut [...]

This is Roy Fox.
Ok, actually, that’s not Roy. That’s a collage he did. It’s of R. Hovey, poet. Not that Roy Fox isn’t a poet. In fact, when you scroll through the Blue Q website, you’ll see it’s full to the brim with Roy’s poetry.
The Flower Shopper.
Vintage inspired Air Mail Zipper Pouch.
You see all these [...]

This gorgeous artwork is by Catalina Estrada…..
….whom we just love and adore. I mean, look at her. How can you not? (Don’t you love what she’s wearing? She designed it.)
More clothing designs.
Her work is just vibrant symmetry with birds and flowers dripped in electric color that is amazingly hard not to stare at.
This talented woman was born [...]

Let’s look at this Blue Q car air freshener closely, shall we?
Every once in a while there’s a Blue Q product that gets a TON of attention. This time, it’s this one; the Nelson Mandela Car Air Freshener.
Damn Nelson Mandela, you smell so good!
It was designed by Mother NYC.
Sometimes, they think of just the strangest [...]

I love this guy’s work.
He’s older now though.
Do you know him? Christopher Silas Neal? I first saw his work on Thumbtack Press a couple of years ago (a great site for affordable art, by the way). But he’s everywhere really.
He does most of the illustrations for the New York Times Modern Love section on Sundays [...]

Does anyone….ANYONE around here, remember Steve’s House of Charm?
Ok, I can’t put a link to it because it’s not available any more (no, don’t cry! no, it’s ok….I know…it’s hard), but here’s a pic of this sassy, super sweet bath brand we did a few years back with Aesthetic Apparatus:
And we just did 2 new [...]

This IS Jesus Had A Sister Productions. In case you were wondering. Also known as, Dana Wyse.
Blue Q’s Art Director, Mitch Nash, first saw her pills at a museum in Los Angeles. He brought them back to the office and thus began the years long relationship.
There is more to say about Dana than is possible [...]

We’re gonna start a new thing on Fridays here – Staff Fav’s (Fav’s instead of Favorites so as to save time, although I just now wasted a lot of time explaining that to you, right?)
This week, I’ll start. Me, Art Star, Staff Fav.
Ok, this is my favorite bag lately. And it just so happens to [...]

Who doesn’t love their Mother?
Well, I just wanted to tell you that OUR mother just won Agency of the Year by Creativity Magazine. And what has your mom done lately? No. That’s not fair. She’s awesome.
So, who is our mother? Or more importantly, why do we work with Mother New York? An Advertising Agency and [...]
