Josh's Bali Work


A while back Josh finished a body of work called *Balance - A Journey Inspired by Bali, Indonesia. Coming back from the trip, he brought with him Bali-inspired patterns, stories, and moments that he turned into super rad art. We've put all of it on jolbyandfriends.com for your viewing enjoyment. Some of the pieces will be available as prints very soon.

Zine Shipping Code


When you go to shop.artfulgoods.com to buy the zine, make sure you enter the promo code "zine3" to reduce the shipping to $3! Keep in mind the reduced shipping is for the zine only. So, if you're buying other goodies on the site you will pay the standard shipping. Enjoy!

A Big Thank You!


We wanted to thank everyone that came to our show, unfortunately I wasn't able to make it due to a family emergency but I heard it was great. And we also wanted to thank everyone that helped make it possible. We are lucky to be surrounded by some of the most amazing people and we couldn't have done it without them. So big thanks to Chris and Ashley Forrette, Shannon Kenyon, Abby Rynko, Shoko Saito, Keegan Meegan Press & Bindery, Artful Goods, Merrick and everyone at Tangible Worldwide and everyone that blogged about us we couldn't have done it without you.

1 Day Left: Secret Goodies!

In addition to the zine and prints available at the show, there are two secret goodies to be found by show-goers.

The first are these super awesome hand-sewn mustache pins that were made in a lot of different colors by the awesome Shoko Saito. Friends of Jolby will be sporting them tomorrow night and the rest will be given out in some sort of random order at the show.

The second goodie is the "King & Queen" 24" x 30" print. Only 10 will be available as giveaways for the first 10 purchases on opening night. And that's a dude's butt, just in case you've been staring at it.

Show Dedication

"&1: Everyday Shenanigans" is dedicated to Roberta T. Kenyon.

Roberta's battle with lupus ended Tuesday, August 4th. She will be greatly missed as a mother, as a friend, and as Jolby's biggest supporter.

For more information about lupus or to make a donation in Roberta's name, please visit lupus.org. Please keep the Kenyon's in your thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.

2 Days Left: Jolby on your IPhone

J.C. over at Poolga has added two of the pieces from the show/zine to his library of awesome IPhone and IPod Touch wallpapers. Click here to download the worm called "The Creator" and here to download the teapot called "Cosmic Tea Party."
