Daruminals at Herkimer Coffee on Phinney Ridge Sep-Oct 2008!

O HAI MONOFREENS!!

We hope you've had a fantastical summer full of funnel cakes, potato-sack races, push-pops, and mini-adventures.

Since our May show at Verite, we've been taking a bit of a summer vacation from shows and work. So far we've been to Hong Kong, Washington DC, Anacortes, Port Angeles and have hosted a lot of Sunday BBQs and bonfires at the Team Ballard HQ.

But as Summer draws to a close, we rallied together a back-to-school show for the stupendous Herkimer Coffee in Phinney Ridge. Herkimer is one of our favorite coffee places in Seattle, so we are excited to have work up there for the next two months.

Daruminals are based on the Japanese wish dolls called Darumas. The wisher makes a wish, colors in the right eye. If the wish comes true, the wisher then colors in the left eye.

We've created our own Daruminals out of paper mache, a new horizon for Team Monocol. Say... do some of those Daruminals look like a few of our close MonoFreens??? (I think so!)

They are all hand-drawn and painted with the help lots of coffee and listening to the Best of Curtis Mayfield. They hope to fufill your heart's secret desires!

We also created a series of Daruminals Gocco prints. This is the first run of prints we've done with the Gocco and we love that little printin' machine! You can learn more (and help save) Gocco at Save Gocco! .

Daruminals also feature a new series of Woodgills by Tom!

We will be updating the store with Daruminals prints, new items, and lots of ideas soon!

We hope our Seattle freens visit the Daruminals at Herkimer (you should get an Americano while you are there -- the best in the city)!

See you soon!
