Feeling wicked? UK graphic designer and artist Craww is back at Blik with five dark and beautiful skins for your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or PC and Mac laptops. Adapted from his original shadowy, ink-splattered pieces Ascend, Bandages, Fox, Sisters and Fear of Flying explore themes of ambiguity and dare we say, wicked things masquerading in beauty.
Gotta have one (or two or three?) No need to shop around – these skins are only available at Blik. Pick up one today and bring Craww’s moody, atmospheric vibe home to your favorite device.

Calling all Blik fans! Today, April 13 we are starting a monthly promotion that puts you in the driver’s seat. Once a month, we’ll ask what Blik wall decal you’d like to see on sale. The decal with the most votes will be 30% off for one day that week.
Atari graphics will kick-off the first “Name Your Sale.” Visit our Facebook page tomorrow, April 13 to vote on what Atari graphic you’d like to see on sale. Choices: Asteroids, Pong and Centipede. Then on Friday, April 15 the Atari graphic with the most votes will be 30% off all day until 11:59pm PST.

Grab some popcorn, the fight of the century is here! The line has been drawn between two unlikely foes, Mega Man and Mario of Super Mario Bros. fame. We’re having them duke it out in a good ol’ fashioned drunken street brawl. Princess Peach’s Pub always gets the action heroes riled up.
Comment on our Facebook wall and tell us who you think would win the fight and why before 11:59 PM PST on April 7, 2011. Five winners will be randomly selected to win both sets of graphics to recreate this face-off at home. So get to commenting because it’s on like Donkey Kong! Eh.. well you get the point.

Today we are re-launching our Threadless collection at Blik. Drum roll, please… The new line is called Threadless Especial. Especial is what our lovable production team coined this new line and we thought the name was perfect.
What’s so special about it? The line is a curated collection of Threadless graphics handpicked by both Blik and Threadless. Think of it as a joint effort to bring you the best of both worlds. Say goodbye to the Threadless voting booth and hello to an edited line of specially selected wall graphics.
We are kicking off the Especial line with three new graphics: Sheepy Clouds, Bloombox and Iceberg. All three designs embrace the fun-loving Threadless style that you’ve come to love. To celebrate the launch, we are giving away 10 $20 Threadless gift certificates. We’re excited about the changes and hope you will be, too. Keep an eye out for upcoming Especial launches and promotions.

Last Friday, Blik co-founder Scott Flora was the speaker at Creative Mornings Los Angeles. Creative Mornings is a monthly breakfast lecture series of creative types. The event was held in downtown LA in the historic Old Bank Building.

Not to give Scott a big head, but his talk was both inspiring and motivating. He spoke about how he and his business partner, Jerinne Neils (Blik co-founder), began Blik with a simple idea – wall stickers that could transform a room in minutes. During the lecture, Scott visually walked the audience through the evolution of the company from the early stages of manufacturing to design inspirations, collaborating with like-minded brands and defining a new product category.
We’d like to give a big thank you to Jon Setzen for inviting us to speak and organizing everything. Cicilia Teng took some great photos that you can check out here.

Psst… Next week, we’ll be relaunching our Threadless collection at Blik. Stay tuned for more on that later. In the meantime, we need to make some room for more new awesome Threadless designs so it’s time to say a fond farewell to some oldies, but goodies.

We thought you’d like to say your goodbyes too and maybe snatch up one or two of your favorites before they’re discontinued on March 29 at 5 pm PST because when they’re gone, they’re gone.

We’ve been waiting patiently for the mailman to come and drop off the April issue of InStyle. Sadly, it’s still not here. If you’ve gotten your copy already, you’ll see the magazine mentions oversized circles being available at Blik. The overzied circles are part of the color package story where the design-savvy editors give readers tips on how to use color in unexpected ways around their home.
The story recommends Blik as a resource for custom circle decals with prices starting at $40 for a 3′ circle, but the circles can be customized to your specifications.
Color Choices: Color choices are here. Custom coloring is also available for an additional $50.
To Order: Orders must be placed with Customer Service. Please call 866.262.BLIK (2545) x1 to order. Sorry, since these are custom circles, orders can’t be placed online.

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve got not one, not two, but three winners in the Blik x Doodlers Anonymous “Doodle Our Wall” Showcase. With 99 entries, how could we pick just one winner? Problem solved. We have one winner with the most community votes, as well as two Editor’s Picks.
Congrats to Harikrishnan Panicker (aka thumbdemon), Michelle Lasalvia (aka Pirichi), and Camila León (aka camiki.) All three will have their drawings turned into wall decals. Harikrishnan, our winner with the most votes, will have his decal printed as a limited 100-piece run. As the Editor’s Picks, Michelle and Camila’s designs will be printed as a limited 50-piece run. In addition, all three winners will receive their own Blik wall graphic, a $75 Blik gift certificate and a swanky Blik tee.
Thanks to everyone who participated. We were blown away by the amount of submissions. And a big thank you to Doodler Anonymous for inviting us to participate.
Stay tuned! The winning wall graphics will be launched in mid-April.

Popular Blik collaborator, Christy Flora, graces us with her newest design “Flutter,” inspired by her recent artwork – beautiful hand-drawn, paper butterfly boxes. Known for her playful drawings that combine clean colorful lines and happy imagery, Flutter floats into Blik with hints of spring. These delicate pastel-colored butterflies bring a subtle burst of color and whimsy as they float across the wall. Flutter is made with Blik Re-Stik enabling you to move these fluttering butterflies from wall to wall to wall…
What Christy loves about “Flutter” is the sense of movement that comes from the butterflies and how it looks like these colorful little creatures are flying through the space. A true butterfly lover, Christy believes seeing a butterfly can create an unexpected happy moment. With Flutter, Christy was aiming to bring that rare joy into an everyday experience. A tip from Christy: Layer Flutter over Anise or Rose or any Blik floral graphic to create a nature scene that really pops!
If you like “Flutter,” make sure you check-out Christy’s line of Blik graphics. It’s been a few years since we introduced Christy’s new designs and she thought it was about time that her Caterpillar had some buddies. We agree! You can also browse her Etsy store for colorful cards and wrapping paper.
