BLKCORAL website launch /
In VERY exciting news, the website for BLKCORAL has been launched!
For those of you that don't like to read, just head on over to www.blkcoral.com & check it out. For those of you who want a little history & information ... read on:
Nikole Nelson & I have known each other since our days at the illustrious Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), where we were roommates, friends and co-conspirators! Since then, Nikole & I have collaborated regularly, especially when she launched her New York City-based Nikole Nelson Studios. After moving back to her native Hawaii (she's from Maui), she took a chance to re-energize & re-brand her now-Honolulu-based enterprise to reflect both her urban NYC experience and her natural Hawaiian roots.
In focusing on collaboration, BLKCORAL brings together a unique blend of creative energies & vision; as well as specializing in both concept and creation. It really is a unique enterprise!
Thanks for checking it out!

Also - check them out ... they are beautiful!
