Hope you all had great weekends and remembered to call your pops on Pappy Day yesterday!
We took the Bainbridge Island Ferry yesterday, and Monocol First (Canine) Mate, Cosby, got to feel the cool sea breeze on his snaggle tooth for the first time.
We've also heard from some Monoscouts that our WPZ Pengies have been spotted around Seattle! Off to find their locations later this week ... It's like hide-n-seek!

Its that time again for the bimonthly update, har har! We're slowly gaining momentum for our usual summertime project blitz -- it must be something about how ice cream trucks are starting to jangle their way down our street (WHY DO THEY DRIVE SO FAST PAST OUR HQ), or the sun setting at 9pm, or conversations that start with "we should go camping...no really!" -- that makes us more productive.
We are happy to say we've preservered through porky flu epidemics and other unpleasantries and are working on some projects for June.
We will be participating in Woodland Park Zoo's Penguins on the March art exhibit. We have two penguins to decorate ... pics to follow soon. The new WPZ pengie exhibit is cooler than a polarbear's toenails (except, Humboldt penguins don't live in snow, but you know what we mean) and we are excited to be a part of the event!
We are also working on some prints inspired by SIFF entry CC2010 written and directed by monofreen and compatriot Travis Senger over at Lincoln Leopard. We also worked with Travis on the "Count It Off" video, so this second collaboration jawesome -- like on you birthday when you get to have ice cream cake for dinner AND breakfast the next morning.
Are you guys ready to go camping? ... No REALLY!
See you on the flipside!

PHEW, we survived SxSW and have been recovering the last week. There were some amazing music videos we were up against in Austin, so we felt very special and intimidated to be included in the mix. The week was a blur of line waiting, late shows, getting to see old friends, sleeping 8 to a room with the Flagpole camp, burrito carts, and 80 degree weather!
Gwynne also celebrated her birthday last week and got lots of fantastic presents including: a red ryder bb gun, a comic book, a new bike, a Chomp Chain soccer ball ... And a remixed MIA music video made by Tom.
INTERWEB PREMIERE!

About Monocol
Monocol is Tom Eykemans and Gwynne Siak; a collaborative duo hailing from opposite coasts, joining forces in a Ballard laboratory to draw, sew, paint, animate, and screenprint.
Tom has never seen a lightning bug, is terrified of getting cauliflower-ear, and enjoys painting sloths while eating his porridge.
Gwynne prefers savory over sweet snacks, is genuinely afraid of the pygmy marmoset, and draws tiny pictures of her weekend adventures on Post-It notes.
Together they are thrifting, snacking, and collaborating to champion toast for all and bedtime for none.
In between projects we also enjoy equal amounts of hijinks and thrifting, chocolate milk and cakes, video games and dance parties, bike riding and record listening, but mostly laying on couches thinking about animals and the types of donuts they eat.
If you are a seabeast, please email us immediately. If you are not a seabeast, but are interested in collaborating, commissioning, buying something, or having a snack with Monocol please email Tom or Gwynne post-haste as well. It would still be awesome if you were a seabeast, though.
