Lets just dance party

Thanks everyone who came out to Bolsa and Smoke over the weekend to shop the Dowdy Studio Wagon! We had a blast and also did some dancing. Here's Pamela's little Wagon jig. Dylan's did one too, we'll be sure to post it soon. Cheers!

Friday Night at Bolsa Cafe.

Friday night a Bolsa was great awesome. We love taking pics at Bolsa. It's completely not possible to take a bad shot. The whole building and scenery are beautiful.

 We outfitted our print wall with some framed artwork, new $5 screenprinted notebooks, and we've still got a few Foxy Fox coasters left.

 If you need a Dad gift for the upcoming Father's Day holiday, we've got a plethora of awesome rock'n tees for Dad....and for you.

 Ladies, we still have you covered with our tri-blend super soft v-neck tees. That's the Grand Whale there. He's the nautical musical beast, never actually seen by the naked eye, but we have drawn his likeness from a very detailed description that we made up.

We have a few pillows left, and are making some more. These guys really don't stay on our shelves very long, so if you fall in love, you better make that pillow yours before someone else marries it. 

We also decided to stay for brunch on Sunday. Why not, I mean the food just keeps getting better and better and we love meeting everyone coming and going.

Hanging out at Smoke and taking pics

Last night we took the Dowdy Wagon over to Smoke Restaurant next to the Belmont Hotel in Oak Cliff and hung out for some happy hour good times. Smoke is in a nice location, on a Dallas hill, so the views of downtown are beautiful. We snapped a few pics and a few more pics. Enjoy! Oh and P.S. try their brisket. It's A M A Z I N G!!!

Renegade'n in the Magbooth

 The Magbooth was a fun little photo booth set up at Renegade Craft Fair. We couldn't resist taking some goofy photos in it. It's just kinda mandatory with us.

Pamela + Stephanie (tefi) - getting shot with ray guns and trying to fit our heads in a triangle.....er polygon thing. I mean we're making handmade MATH!!

Pamela + Cheyne (Cut Out and Collect) - slowly morphing into party monsters or party dinosaurs, not sure, probably both.

We had fun, and are looking to terrorize more photobooths....bring it on!

Renegade Craft Fair Austin - Visual Recap

This past Saturday and Sunday we strapped on the Dowdy Studio Wagon and trotted down to Austin, TX for the Renegade Craft Fair! We snapped a few pics and had a great time in the capital city. 

Pre-show frenzy. The Palmer Events center was quiet right before 11am. You could hear the chatter of the artists and the last minute shuffling of artwork as we eagerly awaited the doors to open.

 Hi to Cheyne and Thomas from Cut Out and Collect, a couple of our dear Dallas friends.

Next to the Dowdy Studio Wagon were some more familiar faces from f is for frank showing off their jewelry designs.

Next to f is for frank, we found Loop + Lil, a children's designer, and Silas Tom, a print artist. They're both from Dallas too, which made our corner of the room the Dallas Contingent.

We saw a couple of familiar faces, Handmade Julz, who moved to Portland from Dallas and Studio Erico, who also migrated to Austin from Dallas. It was like a little Dallas reunion seeing these ladies again. 

The booths and artists seemed to go one for miles in the large convention center. There was so much to see and shop. If you missed it, go see the artist page here.

Brew Riot! Mmmm...beer + tees!

**UPDATE** You can find Brew Riot tees now in our online shop. click here

Last summer we kinda stumbled into (and out of) one of the greatest events we could ever fathom, Brew Riot!!

It was a warm weekend evening, and we had just finished packing up our handmade goods for the day from a Dallas show we were in. Our spirits were high, but our thirst needed to be quenched. When we heard rumors of a beer tasting event in the Bishop Arts District, our ears perked up, we cheersed our figurative custom engraved beer mugs, and ran over there to see what all the fuss was about. We had a blast at the 2nd annual Brew Riot trying all kinds of local brews and new beers. 

When they needed tees done for this year's event, they asked us to design their 3rd Annual Brew Riot tshirts!! We power clinked our figurative mugs again in joy, and got to hand drawing a very cool design for the event. You can see a little of the hand lettering we did in this earlier blog post. 

The tees are a 100% cotton, hand screenprinted, prewashed, smoke gray tee, and will be on sale at Brew Riot for only $15. Yup, that's just fifteen buck-a-roos!
