We’ve spotted Julie West all over the place; shirts, bags, illustrations, paintings, customs, and now it seems we can add drinking glasses to the list of things that Julie has done. Shared on Friday through her flickr, Julie has designed some juice loving cups for Art Star Gallery and Boutique. If you want to pick one up it’ll cost you $18, but you can save $4 if you order a set. Check out Art Star Gallery to purchase.
Back in January, Jansport held an event for their “Artist Series.” I didn’t pay attention on the KidRobot boards and clearly missed the invite to attend the event. Lucky for me, a very cool cat totally hooked me up with one of Julie West x Jansport bags from the previous Artist Series (girl with balloons).
Well, Julie has just posted the image above on her flickr and already I’m gushing over the messenger bag. I am in love with my current bag and I have to tell you that’s its a lot sturdier then I thought it would be. It’s a huge bag that holds way more items then I wish it did, since it can get heavy. My delight with my current bag is sending me straight to the check out page with the new release. I want!!
I miss visiting the wonderful people of MPH. Unfortunately, because I’ve chosen not to work during the summer… I’ve shown loads of self-control so all my money could be spent during SDCC. I are a shameful character. Luckily, MPH is going to be hosting the beloved Julie West for (what I believe is) her first solo show in NYC (??).
Julie West really is a talented artist and an amazing personality. I am forever grateful to her for hooking me up with a custom kaniza during ToyQube’s 3rd year celebration and release party. Well, I have the pleasure of hanging with her again on August 8th when she displays her new paintings, prints, and super sweet customs all based on her sugary theme.
If you’re planning a trip to NYC this summer, I suggest you try to come up that weekend. Julie’s going to make the trip herself from the UK, so it’d be a great time to meet and hang out with her. More details or sneak peeks when they come, woohoo!
BTW, maybe I’ll see Tim there?
A while back, I’d gotten word of Julie West’s participation in the Jansport Artist Series backpacks. I was really looking forward to their release because I love her and her style. She’s a rather cool gal who took my blank kaniza home and did it up for me [thanks again Tim for delivering it safe to the Mr for me]. Anyway, it seems the rolling luggage bags are finally available for purchase. If you’ve got $179.00 to spare, click the link to purchase one of her designs. Woo hoo! I want the blue bookbag when it becomes available.
