Celebrating our 5 year anniversary

by Glynis on February 26, 2010

Looking back at some old pictures of conventions we’ve done for the past five years, I can’t help but to feel nostalgic yet proud at the same time. We’ve really come a long way. For some of those fans who still remember us from our very first convention- Toronto Anime Con, will know just how far we’ve come. From the 2 original hat designs, white bunny hat and black cat hat. (Hey, I was pretty proud after sewing those first prototypes! ) We even found a cheesy old video of me modeling the bunny hat prototype. I’m a wee bit embarrassed to show this right now (maybe I’ll consider posting it for our 10 years! ha ha) But I did find this photo of our first convention display. Check out those graphics on our cardboard cut outs complete with the bunny silhouettes!

We really want to thank our fans who have supported us over the years. You inspire us and motivate us to keep going. You are what kept us going through all these years. As a special thank you, over the next few months we are offering special prizes and giveaways to show our appreciation. Keep checking back on our site for amazing discounts, starting with our biggest sale ever this month- Get 15% off your order. We will also be offering discount codes that can be used at the conventions. We will announce the code & the discount before select conventions on our website and Facebook page.

This year is going to be HUGE and we want you to join in the celebration. So here’s to our first 5 years, and all the exciting new things ahead in the years to come. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Olympic Fever- 24 days to go

by Glynis on January 19, 2010

torch relayEver since they announced that Vancouver will be the host city for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, most of us in Canada have been waiting with anticipation. Now with the start of the games only being a few weeks away, the anticipation and excitement heighten especially for the people living in the Vancouver area. For myself, originally being from Vancouver I am equally as excited.  The  Olympic flame has been traveling across the country making it’s way to it’s final destination. Personally I am a huge fan of alpine skiing, but as an artist I am most enthusiastic about the 3 mascots- Quatchi, Miga & Sumi, they even have a sidekick Mukmuk. These mascots were created by our friends at Meomi. They are such a talented bunch, and we are so fortunate to have them take time from their busy schedule to collaborate with us. These hats feature a cherry blossom design by Meomi, and are wonderful head warmers. Order your very limited Meomi Slowhaus hat today, they are wearable works of art.

Happy New Year Everyone!

by Glynis on January 13, 2010

crazyheads boothIt’s a new year and we have a lot of exciting things lined up for 2010. But first, lets do a recap of 2009. It was an amazing year for us with a lot of new product launches such as a cool new foxy hoodie in grey, a black bunny hoodie, cute wallets and 2 new graphic t-shirts. Most importantly 2009 was the year for many new artist collaborations. We launched 3 Artist Series Limited Edition Hats with such high profile artists like Meomi, Skaffs & Momorobo. With these products we pushed the boundaries of innovation by merging our love for anime and art and combining it with our most popular hat styles.

Besides so many new products, we did a record number of conventions- 23 to be exact, that’s more than ever before. Whoa! I managed to rack up a tonne of mileage points which amounted for a few free flights too. Woohoo!  Last year we did many shows across the nation, in the US and abroad including doing 3 conventions in Europe. I don’t even want to think about how I did it, but let’s just say I really enjoyed my little break during the Christmas holidays.

So for 2010, here’s a sneak preview. We have a lot of new products coming down the line. Our latest addition were 2 new graphic tees designed by Designer Pamela Thompson. Our little cat wallets were such a hit last year that we are adding a long wallet (which a lot of people have been asking for) and a coin wallet. Even more exciting, we have our own line of branded tote bags coming soon! Here’s a sneak peek at these lovely canvas bags.

crazyheads Tote Bags

Last but not least, here’s some big news about our hoodies. We continue to build on our ever popular panda hoodies by offering new lighweight stretchy cotton panda hoodies. These hoodies are so soft, they are made with stretchy French Terry and are perfect for Spring. As you can see there are a lot of exciting things lined up. And I’ve only scratched the surface ; P

On the convention front, we will be attending many of your favorite cons in your area. Stay tuned for updates on our convention tour schedule.

I’m really looking forward to 2010, it will be a bigger and better year. Most of all I look forward to meeting all our fans too. Look out for us at an anime convention near you!  Wish everyone all the best for 2010.

LIGHTS wears Panda Hoodie

by admin on December 9, 2009

LIGHTS panda hoodie

We love this new video by LIGHTS- “Saviour”. She’s such a talented artist, you can check out her music on her website http://www.iamlights.com/

Did I mention she also wears our products? Here’s a picture of her wearing our cute panda hoodie. We’ve  tried to contact LIGHTS (actually her manager) a while back to try to  work on a collaborative project. We heard she’s a huge fan of comic books. But we never expected she would walk by our booth at Fan Expo. She even bought our grey SMITTS. We were ecstatic! (Oh and btw, LIGHTS if you happen to read this, we’re still open to a collaboration) ^ _ ^

by admin on December 1, 2009

MTV Made 1

Check out our Fox Hat on MTV!
We just found out that our hats were featured in an episode of the MTV show “MADE” featuring Diana, a big anime fan going on a “dream” Prom Date. Check it out here http://www.mtv.com/videos/made-season-9-ep-13-dream-date/1591114/playlist.jhtml (Viewable to US residents only). Since we’re in Canada, we can’t see the full video- bummer! Let us know what you think of the episode.
(Thanks to Brett from Hero’s Haven in Oregon for giving us the tip)

The Punch Brand blog is now live!

by Glynis on November 30, 2009

Interdum volgus rectum videt, est ubi peccat. Si veteres ita miratur laudatque poetas, ut nihil anteferat, nihil illis comparet, errat. Si quaedam nimis antique, si peraque dure dicere credit eos, ignave multa fatetur, et sapit et mecum facit et Iova iudicat aequo.
Non equidem insector delendave carmina Livi esse reor, memini quae plagosum mihi parvo Orbilium dictare; sed emendata videri pulchraque et exactis minimum distantia miror. Inter quae verbum emicuit si forte decorum, et si versus paulo concinnior unus et alter, iniuste totum ducit venditque poema.

taito stationI’m Glynis, one of the creative “brains” behind the  crazyheads brand. You may have seen me working behind the crazyheads booth at conventions- smiling and waving.

When I created this blog, I wanted to do something different. Rather than just a regular blog which everyone has, I wanted to create a more personal space where I share my ideas and inspiration. Every now and then, when I come across something interesting to share, I will post it on this blog.

The shelf you see on the right, is the actual inspiration shelf we have in the Punch Brand office. This shelf contains various cute things we’ve come across during our travels. I refer to the things on this shelf fairly often like the design books, magazines or collectable vinyl toys if I need an idea for my designs. Of course, we’ll post new product releases, news and special promotions on the blog as well. So thanks for reading my first post and enjoy the blog!

I’d also love to have your feedback, so please let us know what you think about our website.
