In fact I never stopped. So if you too would like to show some love for some freeness (stickers this time, but more to come) send me your address and I’ll send ‘em out gratis, ’til this box is empty. This sticker almost fills my entire face, which seemed like a good idea at the time.

*** U P D A T E ***
All done! No more free stickers, the cupboard is bare, the freebee box is empty and all is in the post. I will apologise in advance for our UK lame-o postal issues. But if you ordered before Nov 20th, they will come.

Tidying up my desk today has unearthed this brand new unopened copy of Los Logos Four. Bonus! I had meant to post it before but it ended up getting hidden under various other, bigger things. Gives you an idea about my desk filing system. So, here are some belated snapz of some of the NBFG pieces inside. Small, but juicy. Peep below to see more…

A wise old lady once said to me, ‘when it is this hot you have to take it nice and slow, you certainly can’t rush things’. And crikey was she right. So after a nice leisurely lunch break in the sun, chatting to friends, laying on the grass, supping cool beers, we are finally back to open up shop. Back in full effect you could almost say. We were gonna hold off till the new pieces were in, but we got a bit of a head rush from the icepops / beer / sun and thought lets have a mega-sale! Wild, I know. So these are the last one’s and two’s from the last line, and everything is discounted my friends. So if you spend £25 you get 25% off and if you spend £50 and over you get a mega 50% off. Ooo, I do love it when numbers match. This basically means 1 tee is £18.75, but 2 is only £25. (The discount is added at the shopping cart stage). Bargain garms for you, space for new stock for us. Hey guys, what’s not to like?

***Sunday update***
Not much at all left in the shop now, thanks to all the quick responding bargain hunters yesterday. So we’re just going to make everything that is left a flat 50% off. Kaboom! Sorry if you tried to get something yesterday and it sold out before you could check out, that’s just the way it goes at a mega-sale!

Ok, so we have Exhibit A, a new site, and Exhibit B an archive of stuff. But where’s the shop bit? Well it’s coming. Maybe not in 10 mins, but it is, I just wanted to get the site up first. And next I’m going to give some items away. Because I like doing that a whole lot. But whilst I am in the thick of designing, I *may* be open to the odd product request. Drop me a line, say hiyee…

Actually I just reread this and realised that ‘coming soon’ is like a total website cliche. Sorry about that. So what I am saying is if there was product here before that you missed out on, drop me a mail and I’ll check and see if we have any left here in stock. Or if you want the mail for when we re-open join the mailing list to the right —>
Tis all. x

After Ethel and I shot the image for the Addict colab last year, we (that’s me, Ethel and Eloise from Addict) were asked to contribute to a forthcoming book on Street Art by Ric Blackshaw and Liz Farrelly. It’s good to be invited to contribute, even though I wouldn’t say this co-lab was specifically related to street art as such. I’m a big fan of Liz’s books and who would knock a chance to talk about work? So, I got my copy through a while back and just got around to posting – now that the site has stopped impersonating a yoyo. Click below to read the accompanying short interview…

Oh hai guys, where was I? Oh yes, brand new NBFG action. As this feels like a new chapter I’m going to have a little recap, for those of you that may have missed earlier stuff. I started NBFG back in 2006, when I was a self-employed designer with a love for typography, photography, rare rapology, garms and snazzy trainers. Yeah I’m gonna call them trainers, but you might call them ’sneakers’, ‘kicks’ or ‘creps’. I like ‘trainers’ though, it makes me think of that first pair of unbranded navy-blue Woolies pumps glamorously offset with a fluorescent sock, and anyway it’s more true to my roots. Actually ‘pumps’ is a good word too, but I digress.

What I am saying is I would have been a dime a dozen had I been a chap, but back then I was a rarity; a nerdy-bird and it felt gooood. Which is why I started describing myself as ‘Not Bad For a Girl’ in the first place. 50% tongue in cheek and 50% provocation. I blame my older brother for everything of course. Ha! Nowadays I am still a designer, but also a maker and a doer. And NBFG is more about other things too like creative collaborations; discovering new ideas and themes; making quality limited edition products and less about grinding any axes. Well, maybe just occasionally.
