The lovely people at Rosenthal brought our characters to life with this quirky animation.
Our friend Julie saw Pepe and Friends lounging on some swanky furniture at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco and she snapped these pictures for us. Thanks Julie!
We went out on a summer stroll with Buttercup and got to know her a little better. See what happened below…
Tree stumps make great seats for outdoor chillin. But beware of territorial trolls and splinters.
Yellow and mellow. Just relaxing in the sun.
She’s so damn cute and she knows it.
We were trying not look, but she has a very attractive 22 carat gold target on her behind. Buttercup exudes effortless bling, in all the right places.
Buttercup recommends smelling flowers at least once a day. Especially pink ones.
Buttercup with buttercups. She thought this was a cheesy shot. She’s just humoring me.
The Flatfaces have told us before that flying takes quite a lot of effort. We get the feeling that Buttercup rarely uses those baby blue wings. Cause she’s kinda lazy.
Chek out the rest of the gang here!
We have to show you some Pepe and Friends inspired art that our friend Amber did. We especially love Pepe in hot pink!


Amber - the artist.

Just so ya know, thats Ambers dads beer in the upper left hand corner, not Ambers.
Jethro is this really cool designer guy that won an Elle Decoration award last year for his unusual concrete tiles with a etched lacy looking flower pattern, see below or click here to see his site. Did ya know that Jethro was named one of the five hottest design talents in Britain by eBay? eBay chose him to be at the forefront of their new international site eBay Express.

Jethro’s concrete tiles for indoor or outdoor use. We’ve never seen a floral pattern look so tough!

Our friend Jethro Macey just sent us a picture of Bonnie and Clyde - our trusty oil and vinegar decanters - looking pretty and sitting on his kitchen counter.

London’s Selfridges store dazzled the world recently with the announcement of the Wonder Room. The Wonder Room is actually a 19,000 square-foot space that is dedicated to luxury items, fine jewelry, wine and other precious gifts from top brands like Hermes and Bulgari, mixed with quirky but always sumptuous work from new names on the design scene. Ahem! That means us! We are delighted that our posh but friendly little gang of Flatface figurines are now strutting their stuff in the prestigious Oxford Street shop.

We were are so chuffed about this picture. Pepe and Friends in all their glory mixed in with other happy and beautiful things. We didn’t even know we were in this article, a really nice person sent it to us in the post. Those people at the Observer really captured the Vinila spirit with this one.

These girls dressed up as fairies and bumble bees for a night on the town. No, it wasn’t Halloween or anything. They looked so cute it made us smile.
