Splash Dyed Rainbow Couch is an Instagram Star @ MTV

MTV just posted a pic of their “fave couch” with Sebastian Mikael. Great to be able to see the couch in its new home hosting some famous bums! Check it out here

The Origins of the Couch: I whipped up this one of a kind graffiti inspired couch a few years ago for the shop. One summer day I brought it out and and splash dyed it rainbow on the front lawn. My neighbors all came out, probably wondering what I was doing, but it ended up being a big event for the block. Everybody had a hand in painting couchy a little bit and the grass ended up being rainbow as well.

I’d love to make another one of these so if you have a hankering for a rainbow couch, drop me a line. It’d be fun to do some furniture from other eras. how cool would a rainbow splash dyed mid century daybed be?

Couchy Returns!

I’ve been alerted to another sighting of the Splash-Dyed Victorian Couch that I handpainted for MTV. This time it’s enjoying some major screen-time! Go, Couchy, go!

Studded Oxford Collaboration with Mr. Sohail Justin Akhavein

Alyssa Zukas — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:36:01 +0000

So I was recently approached by the wonderful Sohail, a fashion student out of Minnesota and all around awesome guy! After he found me through my Etsy store, he contacted me wanting a pair of studded loafers, which I just found out had been discontinued by the manufacturer. So he looked and searched until we found some gorgeous leather oxfords from Urban Outfitters that worked out perfectly. Check out the gorgeous end result in more detail below:

Another Day, Another Ripped Off Design…

You Thought We Wouldn't Notice

“There have been loads of copycats since this series of admittedly simplistic t-shirt designs, created by Alyssa Zukas, first appeared at Urban Outfitters in 2007. Most of the biters were clever enough to change things a bit, but not this time. They even had the nerve to use the original Urban Outfitters product photography, AND Alyssa’s name, all over their site. The original tees have “Alyssa Zukas” and a bio screenprinted into the inner neck tag area, along with Urban’s made-up store brand “Spark in the Dark.”

Yes, that’s right… my shirts have been jacked once again! Check out the “you thought we wouldn’t notice” po st to see the whole article including comparison shots and get the word out there about crappy counterfeiting!
