When I first came across a post from Freshome in my Google reader today, I was excited and intrigued – “Beautiful 3D Street Art”?! Yes! Super! Then my eyes caught the word I had skipped over in the title: promotional. Apparently London-based agency The Viral Factory is behind recent advertising for new Activision game Blur has […]

Our weekend included a lot of the following: And then, there was still more painting. But we’re finished (for now)! Thank goodness…regular programming will resume tomorrow. What did you do with your long weekend?
Perhaps by next week we’ll think of a more creative title – but, for the time being, I really fancy this image that caught my eye on Tumblr, courtesy Design Is My Muse. With the long Memorial Day weekend (rapidly) approaching, lovely weather in the forecast for Boston and the tulip tree in bloom beyond our back […]
We’ve been thinking quite a bit about our space lately, as we work to get Union Jack Creative formally up and running. Beyond a fresh coat of paint, though, we’ve started to consider layout – and ours is not ideal. Inconsistent internet aside (a point to be rectified…soon?), I have a tendency to need to […]
This week has been a hectic one for Union Jack Creative, and we’re busily checking tasks of our “necessities” list. After navigating the warren that is Boston City Hall, we emerged with business certificate in hand and applied for a federal tax ID. In some ways, it’s been a bit shocking just how easy it […]
May is National Bike Month, and it’s Bike Week in Massachusetts – and UJC is for bicycle lovers. Sadly, we didn’t get any bicycle-themed projects done for the month (my bike itself is a project-and-a-half at the moment, a real Frankenbike) but, fortunately for everyone, Poster Cabaret is featuring a collection of bicycle prints at reasonable […]
UJC was a bit quiet yesterday, it’s true – but rest assured, we were quite occupied, hearts set on (finally) giving our digs a much needed makeover. When we moved in back in September, we were so focused on thrifting and building awesome furniture, sewing curtains and pillows and generally getting set up, that painting […]
Evokes memories of a recent event in which the Union Jack Creative apartment was filled with 400 (yes, four hundred) balloons in order to celebrate Jack’s birthday, surprise style. It was delightful. The sense of anticipation captured in this photo is equally delightful. (image via: sabino)
Loving the pops of color hidden in the stitching of this white-on-white felt flower collage, and the great variety of textures and flower types constructed with felt. If you’ve never worked with felt before, you really should give it a try – it’s a remarkably easy and forgiving fabric! Be sure to look for high […]
This pretty much sums up how we’re feeling about Union Jack Creative at the moment – we have no shortage of grandiose (and sometimes vague) plans, but last night saw us tackling a timeline and some concrete steps for moving forward. Over a bottle of wine and two giant bowls of salad, of course. Ultimately, […]
