One final hello, as we pack our bags and prepare to cross the ocean in search of rainy paths to galleries and plenty of long, relaxing meals.

Needmore Refreshed

Presenting a brand new website for Needmore! After years of tinkering and dreaming, the cobbler's child has blissfully donned new shoes. Whether it be Ray's technical giddiness or Kandace's design and function freedom, we're tickled pink about the new site!

Come have a look, and let us know what you think.

For the Love of Birds

Introducing Paper Milk... artists handpicked from the west coast. We've just launched a simple textured, vintage e-commerce website for Paper Milk.

Recently founded by artist Trish Grantham and Greg Klaus (owner of Greg's), Paper Milk's studio is located upstairs from our own studio here in the OMCC.The site features small edition artist products with a pledge to focus on the environment, using recycled paper and soy ink for cards as well as organic fabrics for apparel.

Taking Flight

We'll be packing our bags and heading off to France tomorrow on a whirlwind visit of art galleries throughout Paris and the south of France (including sleepy Arles, where Van Gogh dicovered inspiration... and lost an ear). We'll return to Portland on Tuesday, May 13 refreshed, inspired and ready to design.

Please note that we will be largely unavailable during this short sabbatical! If anything comes up, feel free to write us, but please excuse us if we don't get back to you promptly!

Au revoir,
Kandace and Ray
