Interview with Seal!

Monkey here:

Seal recently got interviewed by Northern Forcus, a Norcal-art blog run by Shannon Dutra that also interviewed me a while back. While the interview online here is pretty great, the 6-page full interview by Seal is really, really amazing.

Granted, I live with Seal, and we create next to each other, and have long discussions about art and live and tons of stuff, so I might be biased, but damn, that was a good interview. You have to download the full version (since it's so long), but really, if you're interested in who Eve is, both as a person and an artist, you can get a pretty large glimpse into why she creates, the incredible hurdles she has overcome, and her wide breadth of inspiration.

So enough reading here, go go go over to Northern Focus now!

Tons of web updates and press!

A few weeks ago Monkey was interviewed for a new blog highlighting Northern California called Northern Focus. It was a big honor to be the inaugural interview! You can check out the interview over at http://northernfocus.wordpress.com.

Additionally, we relaunched a new format for our website www.monkeyandseal.com. We added a navigation bar, some new content, and more! It's also the soft launch of our new consulting for people who want to be more creative in their lives. We'd love to hear feedback on the site! Also, we'll be working to integrate this blog into the site itself, but that's a much larger project than what Monkey + Seal can handle for right now, but keep your eyes peeled - it's in the works!

Also, Seal has been working hard to teach herself a bit of html (Monkey currently does the coding for our site) so she's started by updating her art blog at www.artriot.blogspot.com. Congrats Seal!

Thanks so much for growing with us, and we're always working to bring you better and better content, layout, etc. Anything special you'd like to see? Leave your suggestions in the comments! Thanks!

Woo, more press!

So while running around at the Handmade Ho Down, Monkey got flagged down by Sean of Ashcan magazine for a quick interview. You can read the mini-interview here! There is also a charming little photo (if we do say so ourselves) of Monkey and Seal at our booth where we are showing off our ties and prints.

We also got a review of the Bad Date Zine Issue 2 at Razorcake, which is basically THE underground punk rock fanzine! Sweet. You can read what they thought over here.

Thanks to Sean and the Ashcan crew and Andrew over at Razorcake!

Other news: Mark your calendars for January 30 + 31, 2010, when Monkey + Seal will be in the Artist's Alley at the Animation on Display convention in San Francisco's Japantown! Woo!
