If rainbows could rain. That's what it feels like some days, in this business, if I focus on the negative space around the drab piles of paper in my inbox. We have so many new images coming in from artists--Jo Dunnick surprised us with watercolor renditions of Tillie Baldwin and other cowgrrrls (above), which we are turning into tile, along with new equine beauties and the sweet but not cloying "Pour Your Heart Out" (shown above on a 6" x 8" tile); Dan Bacich has been dodging into phone booths in between painting leaves, and bringing forth new (brilliant) assemblages--he calls them "boxes"--photographs of which are going to make some truly amazing tiles. Yes they are. We'll devote a future post to them. Meanwhile, we're working with Bill Callahan nee Smog on tile coasters and boxes, and we hope some "soft" goods, featuring images from his CDs, including the new Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle. Yes, we can provide Tuscan landscape murals for your backsplash, as well, and magnificent Victorian-neoclassic Tadema murals for your shower, but we can't stop the thirsty purple rain cloud that follows us around like a guardian angel and seems to be our brand identity and brand difference.
