Lloyds Awars for the Creative Enterprise

NVPC People's Choice Award

The Tate Paint Drip Squidarella is hot property!

Hello wonderful squid fans,

We hope you are all well! Enjoying the gorgeous, yet freezing sun shining mornings and horrid grey dark wet afternoons!! So strange - but lovely to wake up to.

It has been an interesting week for us! Last week we had our big grand pitch at the British Library - bloody scary - adrenaline pumping, eyes on the prize, judges flying questions left right and center! We won £1000 from Lloyds TSB (THANK YOU) for winner of our section 'Creative Enterprise' and we won the 'Peoples Choice Award' of the National Varsity Pitch! So we were quite chuffed :)

We want to say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to the amazing support, emails, tweets and fb messages we received - it has been overwhelming!

To top our week off, Tate just ordered another 1200 umbrellas - they are just flying off their shelves!! Second order in 2 months!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Squidarellas in MoMA shop NYC

MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art is one of the worldwide most recognized museums renown for one of their biggest art collection.

Standing face to face with one of Jackson Pollock’s art pieces was a highlight for the Squidders in 2009 , Pollocks ritual paint dripped on a white canvas planted the seed for their colour changing inspiration.

It is a great fun to work with MoMA’s buying team. The lovely shop team beamed at the idea of selling the Bird Squit umbrella which changes colour when wet evenmore as the colours go well with the bright colour scheme of MoMA products.

When you have an aunt who buys all here Christmas presents from museum shops, that place is the cream of the crop, there are no gimmicks to be found but thoughtful interesting concepts, collector pieces of artists and product designers.
