Ace Hotel + Arkitip + Generic Surplus shoe launch
3 July 2009
Come celebrate the launch of the Ace Hotel + Arkitip + Generic Surplus shoe 4th of July weekend 2009 at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, Ca.
We will design a temporary pop up shop at the onsite Ace Boutique next to the main pool to reflect the overall aesthetic of the project. A limited amount of men’s and women’s shoes will be available for purchase.
Friday night music at the Amigo Bar will be provided by Nite dog and Lovefingers (Blackdisco Dj’s) continuing poolside throughout the weekend.
When booking please use discount rate code: ACESHOES to receive 15% off your room rate.
Hope to see you all there.
Additional print offer
2 July 2009
Today we are making an additional print available with the edition.
This second print is a completely new design that has never been seen before. It is the same size as the first print (7.5 x 10 In.) and fits snugly in it’s intended packaging.
Customers who pre-ordered the issue can purchase the additional print for $10.00 (inside USA) and $15.00 (outside USA) and these prices include shipping. You cannot buy this print as a stand alone product, you must enter your order number in the notes field during checkout to confirm your original order. Any orders that do not have this information will be canceled.
If you purchased more than one issue, please reference all order numbers and you can only purchase as many prints as you have purchased magazines to the limit of 4 per customer.
You can purchase the additional print at Arkitip and we will either ship it to you separately (if we have already shipped your order) or together, if we haven’t.
If you have not yet ordered your issue, you may order the issue with or without the additional print. If you would like the additional print, you do need to add it to your order and it will ship together.
We hope you enjoy this additional print, we think it really rounds out the package and is both a powerful and clever design. As a set, these two prints go well together making the whole package a must buy for any Shepard Fairey fan or art collector.
Parra + Arkitip + Pool Gallery + Wood Wood
1 July 2009
Arkitip is proud to present Parra’s first ever Exhibition and Pop Up Shop in Germany.
32-year-old Dutch illustrator and designer Parra has decorated the Amsterdam underground with his playful, bizarre graphics that span a broad base of themes, from introspective to audacious and bawdy. The mostly self-taught artist channels vintage forms, yet with a decidedly modern, post-pop approach and a distinctive, hand-drawn feel. His vibrant images and typography can be seen on prints in various exhibitions around the globe, on a flyer for a club near you, on the sleeve of a record, or on limited-edition tees and sweaters.
Parra’s characteristic style has also extended into his music career with electro-rock group Le Le. Their most popular track “Breakfast” features Parra’s typography and imagery set in motion to the song’s pulsating beats and comical (and slightly naughty) lyrics.
Please join us…
