Fall snuck up on us fast. We hope everyone had a good summer. We've been gearing up for Fall with adding new products, restocking old favorites, and otherwise running around a little crazy. We've got a bunch of exciting news; we're finally pulling it together and opening a retail store and gallery, we've printed a new set of Nikki McClure cards, and added over five new aritsts, including a sock-maker based in Portland. So, read on...

Since we started selling online back in '99, folks have always asked us where they can get our goods in person. Well, now we've got a simple answer: Land. With the help of amazing wood-worker Jay T. Scott and the painting skills of Amber Castaldo (you might recognize her as our go-to-model for shirts), we've converted the front of our Portland, Oregon warehouse into a two-story retail space and art gallery. We open on October 9th, and will be featuring the originals from Nikki McClure's 2010 Calendar.
