Oh the ever elusive zipper pulls. To some, it was their way of continuing to show off their geekiness with miniature representations of their favorite designer toys– and although this also applied to me, zipper pulls were also a tiny way of rebelling against the proper work attire. Well, Marshall now joins the ranks of munny, gloomy, things that hurt and many other zipper pulls that have come before it. The news make me uber happy, because I’ve shown my love for 64Colors several times– but seeing the image above, I have one concern. What material are they using for these zipper pulls?

From the photo, I can tell they’re not the same material from the 4″ Marshalls. Whatever material it is, is messing with the aesthetic I already associate with Marshall, a sort of matted vinyl plastic if that makes any sense. It captures the essence of a marshmallow a lot more. Either way, I’m sure I’ll still be picking one up– specifically hoping I score the nerdy one, you know, because I’m a nerd. =D

These will be available from Rotofugi end of February/beginning of March and will retail for $3.95.

I’d like to take this moment to remind all the people out there, that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. I’m not sure if you guys celebrate it or not– for us, it really depends on our mood that year, but I thought I’d start posting some suggestions.  I’ll begin with 64Colors’ Be My Valentine print. I know many women like myself exist out there… you know, the kind that appreciate a cute little marshmallow boy pitchforking some hearts– the perfect combination of kawaii and pain. If your lady (or gentlemen for that matter) gets a kick out of this mash-up, then why not surprise them with this print?!!

You can get this print from the 64Colors shop for a very affordable $20!! Go get it now, tell them I heart them. <3

In the span of 10 minutes, I’ve discovered BlueQ through the stupendous duo that make up 64Colors. Not only that, but I’ve also found out that the company is owned by two brothers and they’ve been around since “Die Hard. The first one. 1988.” I think that’s a great way to introduce yourself to seekers of information. =D 64Colors just shared that they teamed up with BlueQ to release two tote bags.

“Sweet” measures 15.75″w x 15.35″h x 5.9″d– that seems about the right size to carry everything I need for a weekend at my Mr.’s. “Yum” measures 8.5″w x 10.5″h x 4″d, still big enough for all the crap I lug around. Both bags are made from 95% recycled woven polypropylene. The best part, these bags are super affordable. “Sweet” is retailing for $11.99, while “Yum” is only $9.99!! Hit the links below to purchase. =D

Sweet! Yum!

Happy Holidays everyone! by 64Colors \(^o^)/

We’re nearing September, and that means that we’re just a couple of days away from Pinkghost’s release of their first Chubby Books Artist Series. I remember spotting a sneak peak of their project on twitter, and was jumping for joy when I recognized the artists they were working with. Now, with their big reveal, my only question is, how many can I afford?!!

I have an obsession with books, journals, calendars, sketchbooks, and the list just keeps going. On top of my obsession, I’m a huge fan of both Julie West and 64Colors, and have only recently come to love Helena Garcia (only because I wasn’t familiar with her works before). I’ve compiled all the pictures that are currently on PinkGhost’s site, for your convenience. Hit the jump to see the gallery of photos and some of my favorites!

Jeez, this video took forever to put together! I had loads of fun with this ‘Unboxing.’ Mostly, it was the subject, Marshall is simply too cute– but a lot of the excitement was really in hearing Marshall speak!
