A Parkdale visit from Toronto’s “On the Grid”!
Recently we were paid a visit at our Parkdale Outpost by the Toronto edition of On the Grid!
On the Grid is a community focussed global initiative started by NY design studio Hyperakt. The uniquely organized website is a”designer’s neighbourhood guide” to cities around the world, curated by creatives from all over. What a fantastic online publication to be a part of!
We are so pleased to be featured by the lovely folk that had a peek around our Parkdale shop!
Thank you On the Grid for the wonderful photos!
A Handmade hot spot!
We just received the winter 2014 issue of Toronto’s design guide, ‘Designlines’ and we’re on page 109 as part of a DIY/hands-on workshop gift guide for the city!
Kid Icarus is in good company, alongside Paintlounge and The Shop.

Kid Icarus was happy to be featured in the November 2013 issue of Toronto Life Magazine: City Home edition. Check us out on page 88.
Kid Icarus played a bit of Kensington Market leap-frog last year, moving from a cramped spot on Nassau to this larger store around the corner. Owners Michael Viglione and Bianca Bickmore have expanded their screen-printing studio, which turns a swift trade in posters (many around $35), pretty “Greetings from Toronto” postcards ($3), and custom wedding invites. If you’re feeling crafty, $20 DIY doll kits are available in three skill levels. Or you can leave the embroidery to the pros: on a recent visit, the store had a stock of adorable merit badges by local artist Lee Meszaros that celebrate everyday accomplishments like “rolling with the punches” and “having meat on your bones”. 205 Augusta Avenue, 416.977.7236″
TorontoLife: Neighbourhoods
We’re so excited to be included in this issue of Toronto Life: Neighbourhoods! Pick one up at your local newsstand and check us out on page 93 with some of our other favourite places in Kensington Market.
Owners Bianca Bickmore and Michael Viglione upsized their tiny poster shop to a sprawling, all-things-paper store last year. The move made room for a larger stock of cute crafts, DIY kits and how-to books, as well as Kid Icarus’s own line of indie-cool greeting cards, notebooks and stationery. The best things, though, are the limited-edition poster advertising old tour dates for the likes of Ben Harper and the Arkells ($35). They’re made in the studio at the rear of the store, which is also home to a bustling wedding invitation business. The popular screen-printing workshops are run out of the store’s lower-level workshop.
