Do you know Colin Johnson?
We didn’t – before we saw his work on Thumbtack Press. And when we did, we kinda went gaga.
That’s how Blue Q works. Happy Accidents…..a quote from Mitch Nash, Blue Q’s Art Director. And when New Product Development seeks out new designers, new artists – we surf the web, visit our [...]

We have officially stopped work production in perhaps 132 different offices around the world. Perhaps. Unless some of our amazingly dedicated Facebook Fans check their status updates from home in their jammies.
We like to giveaway goodie bags from time to time on Facebook – it’s our Social Networking tool of choice - although a few years [...]

I just made this pie. It’s my favorite pie in the whole wide world. I hadn’t made it in a long time and had nearly forgotten how exciting and decadent it is.
At this time, in this place we all need a little excitement. So I made a pie.
It’s a Sweet Potato Pecan Pie. It’s a [...]

I hope you know about this guy.
Nate Duval.
This is not a 100% accurate portrait, but pretty close.
He used to work here – how many years ago, Nate? 4? Holy macaroni, 4? 3? He sat right over there…..right across from me…at the Mac. As the in-house graphic designer….we used to talk about music and meatball subs [...]

I am delighted to announce that a long awaited sickingly sweet Blue Q Shopper has finally entered the building. Oh, and you can have it whenever you want right here.
Oh! And there’s it’s little brother too.
So, who are 64 Colors? Eric and Laura. And they live in Michigan. And they are the nicest people from [...]

It’s a bottle of wine. We’ll get that out of the way first.
It’s more than the bottle though.

Christophe Baron is a notoriously elusive wine maker from France.
His winery is in Walla Walla, [...]

Every so often, an item will grab us in New Product Development by the lapel, tug us closer, and make us love it. A couple of years ago, we fell in love with zines. It began with The Monster Who Ate Stars by Souther Salazar.
I mean. Come on. How friggin cute?
Art Director, Mitch Nash, saw this little [...]

No kidding folks, this is a real product,
from a real publisher,
that’s really sold on amazon.com ,
and the listing features real customer reviews.
Frankly, I find the reviews more intriguing than the book.
My favorite five-star review is headlined “Great gift for the poop lover.”
I don’t know about you but I don’t think I have one of those [...]

Where else can you hear the following phrase come out of an employees mouth (and yes, he’s talking business) “Well, our cat butt buffer is almost gone.”
Our own dear Purchasing Manager. Yep. That’s right. Sergio Bencivenga is back. Again. With another music diatribe. Here goes. Sergio, take it away:
LISTEN UP!!
I got the BEST secret santa gift [...]
