We are partnering with the awesome all-sorts-of-cases brand, Pacific Design, out of Austin Texas to create an “Indie Artists Collection” for iPod cases and PSP gaming cases. The Indie Artists Collection is launched under the Pacific Design brand and features 2 local Raleigh artists: David Eichenberger and Paul Friedrich. The First Friday show was a celebration of these cases being launched nationwide and sold in Circuit City throughout the country. The party was a smashing success. Ty Rarick and Alexandra Elliott (both of Pacific Design), flew in from Austin for the event. Paul and David were both here signing cases, and Chad Wilkins of Gamila orchestrated all of the logistics. We had incredible music with old school vinyl spun by DJ jasonjohns, great food from the RedRoom, and the always popular Big Boss beer. Breakdancers showed up and made their own dance floor, and a local bike club arrived with 35ish cyclists and at least 3 inline skaters. The party went late (of course) and the feedback and sales of all of the artist cases was very positive. We also showed a line of 6 Mila Art Jackets at the event. These are also cases designed for iPods with local art as the main graphic. They are all under the Gamila brand.

The Pacific Design “Indie Artists Collection” iPod and PSP gaming cases can be found at Circuit City, on the Pacific Design website, or on this Gamila store page. The Gamila “Mila Art Jackets” can be found on the Gamila website. And very soon – maybe even tomorrow – we will have a new shopping page here on the Gamil blog so you can shop straight from here. Stay tuned…
