a colorful equation

grain surfboards scrap cedar + 9 colors of spray paint + katrine hildebrandt's creative mind = the making of a rainbow....

rainbowlogical necklace all the way from the uk

just a bit ago i was contacted by a lovely lady named hannah marshall.

hannah, otherwise known as beach shack project,  makes some really beautiful jewelry with materials straight from our ocean blue.

i got to thinking- it would be really cool to have her make me a rainbowlogical necklace from sea pottery....

well she did, and it is beautiful.  it is long, slips over your head and is one of a kind.

soon we will have some of her work here in the shop to share with all of you.

i like making trips to the post office.

are you kidding me?

the f***king amazingly sexy tees just arrived from sugarhigh + lovestoned straight out of maui.  we received two more styles as well, same thing-  sex on a tee.

some of you may know one of the ladies behind these tee's, tami snodgrass.  we have had her work in the shop for a bit now.

small world

last week i put up a post about a beautiful new book i came across, sundays are for lovers.

i just received the book yesterday, and happened to look at the return address...  to my surprise it was sent from right around the corner from us!  i contacted lines & shapes, and was informed that portland is one of their home bases.

and it just so happens that there is a book release party right up the street at chellis wilson tomorrow night!

what a great surprise.  hope to see you there.

thanks portland for being so awesome.

leander johnson

i couldn't be more happy to have leander join us this month in the gallery.  working with a 13 year old artist is the best.  very inspiring to say the least.

all works from his show, including a collection of 12 print in edition of 6, a zine based around 1966, and an ambient electronic score, are now available online here.

but if you live in town or near by, you must come by.

what were you doing at age 13?

evolution of the muff

just received some new prints from ashkahn & co.

this is by far my favorite one.

the evolution of the muff

come get one.

thanks ashkahn!

dr. dog

last month, the fantastic dr. dog spent some time here in portland and played a live show at port city music hall.

corduroy's own jim mcginley was able to connect with the band, have a local brew with them, and shoot some beautiful photos throughout the night.

these are just a few of my favorites.

to see the whole collection, please visit jim's site:  thefinstudio.com

and if you haven't heard dr. dog's new album, you must!!!  it is so prefect for summer days and driving to the beach.

sundays are for lovers

yes, yes they are.

sundays are our favorite days.

this 80 page book from lines & shapes celebrates all the things we love about sundays, like sleeping in, loving our lovers, hanging at the house, and features work by some of our favorite artists like serena mitnik-miller.


pre-order yours here, and have a lazy love filled sunday.

the finishing touches.

join us tomorrow night.
