Hey guys! Lot’s of fun stuff happening online and off–here are some faves and some updates…
1. We got some new business cards with an actual address on them! I got them at Jakprints. They took a while to get here (about 2 weeks), but now that they’re here I’m super happy with the quality.
1. I will be heading to the MOCA this Saturday, for the launch of “Outside the Lines, Too: An Inspired and Inventive Coloring Book by Creative Masterminds” a coloring book curated by the lovely Souris Hong. I am among the 100 artists featured in the book–my illustration “A View From My Tent” (pictured above!) is in the book. Saturday, Oct 3, 2015, 3pm MOCA Grand Avenue, 250 South Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90012
2. I was excited when Kera emailed me about Hannah Magazine. As she said, the women behind the publication have a “passionately curated, relevant, and on-point aesthetic– all geared towards women of color.” As someone who devours magazines and had dreams of starting my own magazine as a little girl, this message and aesthetic speak to me. It’s refreshing. You can join in, as I have, in helping them with their kickstarter, right here.
3. Mark your calendars, Bay Areans, for a Berkeley book signing and Q&A at Erica Tanov on October 8th, 6PM – 8PM. I look forward to seeing you and being back in the Bay!
4. Remember the painted headboard that we did for the charity design project earlier this year? Well I’ve finally got around to creating a step-by-step tutorial for that project. Check it out:
5. There is still time to vote for me in the Loloi #AmazingAnastasia competition. It’s super painless you don’t even have to enter your email. Just click go here and click ‘vote’!! THANK YOU!
6. Lastly, I’ve joined a new social app called Periscope (I know what you’re thinking but this is gonna be a good one…) The videos broadcast live, right from the phone, and people can interact with the person who is ‘scoping during the broadcast. Then the videos disappear after 24 hours. I have just started and am still figuring it all out but so far I really like it, so follow along over there if you like to get more in-depth and behind the scenes type stuff. My username is “JustinaBlakeneyLive” and I announce on Twitter and IG before I’m going to broadcast.
Have a lovely weekend, friends!
Just found your website last night. I love it. It will become one of my favorites. Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much for your support! I know it means the world to them. xo
Have you been to BS Taqueria downtown? The walls on their indoor patio look like something you would have done or at least love. You should go check it out.
I haven’t been but will totally go check it out! Thanks for the heads up!!
It was great to see you in action on the pariscope last night so hope Face the Foliage does happen. Wish we lived closer but same state will have to do! Looking forward to seeing your next book and watching how all that unfolds. Super excited about the wallpaper too – talk about on the Up & UP! Great stuff JB!
Sweet thanks so much for the kind words and for tuning in yesterday. Lot’s of exciting stuff happening and your support means the world to me! xoxo J

Super excited to see you in my neck of the woods, book in hand of coarse!
yay!! Can’t wait to see you my dear!! <3!!
Yeah, business cards! And thanks very much for the painted headboard tutorial. Gonna be doing this at the next place we land.
Business cards are really awesome. Reminds me of several books I read as a child-such a magic feeling. I’d love to have a big painting like that. Just makes me happy.
Hi Justina, Recently learned of you after listening to online interview ( I am sorry I cant recall from who-I think it was Domino-since the shelter in place my new guilty pleasure is listening to way too many design interviews!) Your interview was one of my favorites! You are a breath of fresh air and I just love the luscious layering of texture and pattern! Looks like a beautiful life! Thank you for the inspiration!
