Barking Pixel is an artist-owned aviation lifestyle brand based in Texas, creating heirloom-quality woven blankets, apparel, and gifts inspired by aviation. Every design is original artwork made for pilots, aircraft owners, and aviation enthusiasts.

We have both. Our woven blankets are woven, not printed. That means the artwork is created using colored yarns woven directly into the fabric rather than being printed on top. This results in a more durable, textured, heirloom-quality blanket designed to last for years. Our Fleece blankets are printed on a premium fleece with ultra soft gray back side.

Yes. Our products are designed specifically as pilot gifts and aviation gifts, including blankets, pillows, socks, and apparel. They are popular for student pilots, private pilots, flight instructors, aircraft owners, and aviation families.

Our blankets are designed as functional aviation artwork you can use every day. Instead of generic patterns, or photo throws, each piece features original aviation-inspired illustration work, often including aircraft, sky themes, and storytelling elements tied to flight. In addition, we are artists and care about every blanket we produce.

We offer two sizes: 50 x 60 inches and 60x80 inches which is about the size of the top of a queen bed. Woven throw blankets in the 50x60 inch size are ideal for couches, chairs, hangars, travel, or gifting. And our larger 60x80 blankets are perfect for two to cuddle under, or for our taller customers.

DescriptYes. We offer custom aviation artwork commissions where we can create a blanket or design featuring your aircraft. This is especially popular for aircraft owners, retirees, and special aviation milestones. We also offer custom FAA sectionals, and photo woven and fleece throws.

All artwork is designed by our Texas-based studio. We work with specialty production partners to produce high-quality woven textiles and apparel, which are then shipped directly to customers. We strive to support Made in the USA whenever possible.

While aviation is our primary focus, our collection also includes lifestyle items such as apparel, socks, pillows, and gift items designed around the aviation theme.

Because our products are artist-designed, small-batch, and aviation-specific, not mass-produced general gifts. Customers choose us for unique designs that feel personal, nostalgic, and connected to real aviation culture.

Barking Pixel has been in business since 2004. Our online store launched in 2022. And we are entering our third year as a vendor at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Yes. In addition to our woven aviation blankets, we offer a range of smaller aviation-themed gifts including premium aviation socks, apparel, pillows, and accessories. Our socks are designed with the same aviation-inspired artwork and make popular gifts for pilots, flight crews, and aviation enthusiasts—especially for stocking stuffers or budget-friendly gifts.

Our aviation performance socks combine original aviation-inspired artwork with all-day comfort and athletic performance. Designed for aviation enthusiasts who are constantly on the move, they provide the support and durability needed for long days on your feet—whether you're walking the grounds at EAA AirVenture, working on the flight line, traveling, or heading out for a run. They also make popular pilot gifts, flight school graduation gifts, and stocking stuffers for aviation lovers of all ages.
