The images, “3 Women” and “Legs”, are an integral contribution to the expansion of MANE Blow Dry Bar’s brand identity. Bilinear’s artwork is present in many facets of their marketing efforts.

Bilinear’s approach is to collaborate with the client. Our aim was to incorporate contemporary, stylish, timeless, elegant, and fun elements. The result was impactful imagery that sets MANE apart from salons and other blow dry bars.

The Mechanical Bride | Los Angeles

The show takes its name from Marshall McLuhan’s 1951 book, which examines the media landscape (press, radio, movies, ads) through discrete critical entries that could be read in any order.

Kurt Ralske is, ultimately, a high-tech sculptor of time, digitally manipulating given materials to evoke gorgeous visual texture and a stirring sense of dislocation.

John Carpenter involves projections of natural forms that gently pulse and flicker on their own but respond dynamically to the presence of viewers. -- Leah Ollman, LA Times

Steampunk Interiors

The first time I heard of Steampunk, I was told the time period was 'when Victorians started integrating brown in their dress and environments'. The concept was 'how they envisioned the future'. Being from Seattle, I have always had an affinity for any sort of futurism. Upon further investigation, the time period is when Steam Power was commonly used and often located in Britain. --Krista Kelly The Edison Bar | Los Angeles

Seattle Design Festival

The Seattle Design Festival aims to widen and deepen the public conversation about design in Seattle. Encompassing a wide range of design disciplines, the festival explores design as an active force that solves problems, contributes to innovation, and improves our lives.

Founded and produced by AIA Seattle, the first festival is the product of a collaboration among ten non-profit partners. By combining forces to present ten days of concentrated programming about architecture and design, the partners have created a festival that calls attention to the power and value of design in both the private and public realms. --Seattle Design Festival
