Walls haven't been this much fun since you drew on them with crayons.
But creativity can't be kept off the walls for long. Wall decals, reusable surface graphics that stick to almost any wall, can add play to the paint in more ways than one.
"We had been working with the idea of old school video games for a while," says Scott Flora, one of the founders of Venice, Calif.-based blik surface graphics. "Then we thought, 'What would be the most amazing company in the world to connect with?' and Nintendo was on the tip of our tongues."
Blik has the pixilated worlds of Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and New Super Mario Bros. ready for your walls. The decals are made out of a thin self-adhesive film that can be rearranged on the wall as often as you please. Mario can migrate to another wall entirely and Luigi can ground a different Goomba every day. The important thing is to have fun doing it.
"Our opinion is that fun and play are something you don't ever stop doing," Flora says.
"Lots of adults think you can't play or have fun anymore, and for us, our whole lives are about play. It is about designing, creating and having fun."
