Characters Welcome Recap

Posted on by Michael Ferry

Huge thanks and much love to all the artists who contributed stickers and all the good folks who came out to support Characters Welcome 3.  It was our biggest show yet with sticker art from all over the world, more compilation boards than ever and tons of sticker packs sold. All going to benefit the good work of Fleisher Art Memorial Community Partnership in the Arts and The Village of Arts & Humanities youth arts programs.

We have a few unsold compliation boards available for $25 each. Local pick up is strongly preferred as shipping will be close the board cost. Each of the available boards are featured below. Please contact us directly at [email protected] if you are interested in any of the boards. Again, 100% of ALL proceeds to local Philadelphia youth arts programs.

For more photos of all the boards in the show, individual submissions, raffle prize packs and exhibition shots please check and follow us on Instagram, tumblr, or flickr. Thanks, love and respect to everyone who supported Characters Welcome 3, hope to see you all at Tmoms again very soon!

Brunch a Munch at Mom’s

Posted on by Michael Ferry

Weekends. We love them. Sleeping in late, chilling out. Breakfast, lunch, BRUNCH!

Saturday and Sunday afternoons here are always a good time. Weekly Sunday arts & crafts, pop up trunk shows, the occasional doggie birthday party and more all add to the weekend flavor. And now we’ve added a new brunch food and cocktail menu to seal the deal that weekends at Mom’s RULE.

Stop in, feast on a Chubby Changa or Breakfast Bomb Pita Pizza, and you’ll understand why brunch is one meal covering the traditional two of breakfast and lunch. Or revive yourself with a delicious Mañana de los Muertos or Beermosa cocktail, two of our five new afternoon brunch liquid delights. See you this weekend at Mom’s!

We Heart Street Art!

Posted on by Michael Ferry

Take one look around Mom’s and you’ll know how much we love street art. Nearly every inch of the upstairs bar is covered in work from street artists from all around the world. We are proud to be a place where artists can come together to test out ideas and collaborate and street art can live on off the street.

Our friend RX in Portland, Oregon made some very rad, one of a kind, hand printed coasters for us. We’re looking to share the love and give away 4 sets of unique coaster 4 packs. It’s really simple to enter and win:

• Follow us on twitter or instagram. Post a photo on either twitter or instagram of your favorite street art where ever it may be and tag the photo #weheartstreetart

• We’ll be giving away one set of RX coasters every few days between now and Febrary 4, 2014. Winning prizes can be picked up locally at Tattooed Mom in Philadelphia or mailed to out of town winners.

Follow RX on instagram to see more of his amazing work. Sticker artists, please consider sending in your art to the upcoming Sticker Nerds 3 show in Portland.

Cheers!

Cocktail Inspired Sweet Treats Now at Tmoms

Posted on by Michael Ferry

One of the most popular new cocktails on our Winter Cocktail menu, The Heatmiser, is the inspiration for the first sweet collaboration with our friends and neighbors at Cookie Confidential. Made with love and local and organic ingredients, the Heatmiser Cupcake is a tasty treat with a little kick. A spiced Spodee and Sailor Jerry cupcake is frosted with an Art in the Age Snap infused cream cheese frosting and then topped with an Italian Market sourced cinnamon stick & candied ginger garnish.

This delightful desert is available here exclusively and only for a limited time. Sweet dreams are indeed made of these!

Oktoberfest in September

Posted on by Michael Ferry

We’re celebrating Oktoberfest all September long with our Bottle Beer of the Month. Spaten Oktoberfest, created in 1872, is the world’s first Oktoberfest (Ur-Maerzen) beer. King Ludwig I would no doubt enjoy hanging out at T Mom’s, drinking this medium bodied amber colored beer with it’s impeccable balance of roasted malt flavor & perfect amount of hops. Prost!
