Acanthus Friends

I love to see how people (and pets) wear their Acanthus Apparel.  I started a Facebook album to share these photos and will also be posting them on my Instagram feed.  If you want to share your photos just tag Acanthus Apparel on Facebook or message us the photo if you can't tag it or #acanthusapparel on Instagram.  You can also email them to me at alyssabowers@live.com.

On Vacation: Heading to RockyGrass

Joshua and I are about ready to make our yearly trek to Lyons, Colorado for the RockyGrass Festival.  It's so much fun to just relax and listen to amazing music while be surrounded by friends and family. I'll be sure to share photos and videos when I get back.

Going out of town also means that there will be a longer wait for Etsy orders. I am going to leave the store active but anything ordered July 23rd through July 30th will not be shipped until August 1st. So if there is anything you want you might want to purchase in the next few days.

New Etsy Listings July 2012

I just added a couple of new items to Etsy and on the floor at Vitae.

I loved the Spaceman burnout hoodies so much that I decided to order another color. I got the cobalt blue and printed our classic Bee design in white.

I also printed another burnout baseball tee. I love the green and grey with our new Snake design.

Inked and Freshly Inked Magazine

Be sure to pick up the August issues of Inked and Freshly Inked Magazines.  Joshua has a 6 page tattoo feature in Freshly Inked this month and a sketch book feature in Inked. 

Hoodies in July

Even though there is a heat wave everywhere I am still getting requests for hoodies. So here they are! I reprinted the Indian hoodie and then printed a couple of new ones. The first is an eco-fleece hoodie with the snake design in red.  The second is a new hoodie style, the burnout fleece zip hoodie from Alternative Apparel.  This hoodie features our spaceman design.

Everything is available at Vitae Design Collective and on Etsy, www.acanthusapparel.etsy.com.

P.S. I will be posting more of these dog photos soon. We had a fun photo shoot with Figment Art Photography last week.

Joshua Bowers Owl Tattoos

I was going through some of Joshua's photos and realized that he tattoos a lot of owls.  Here are a few that I found but I'm sure there are many more.  Enjoy!
