The Artist Series was a loose collection of releases from 2006 - 2012, with the bulk appearing in the first three years. The frames were designed by various artists, several whom returned to produce a second release.

BLOC line releases are part of the Square O line of fashion glasses. The BLOC specifically represents the limited releases that are enhanced by guest artists.
