Hello
My favorite product is working on Yupo Paper. It's a surprise every time.

Love this video! You guys have a very attractive staff ;)
My favorite product is Prismacolor Double Ended Art Markers. I work in digital a lot and I think Prismacolors are the closest traditional analog to digital painting. I love bold colours!
My favourite product is any frame I find in your discount, one of a kind, frame bin. I have had some great luck lately in finding the perfect frame for a commissioned art piece. Makes me, and my customer, happy with the look and the price.
Great video. Nice to see some familiar faces and their product picks.
My favorite product is the whole dammm store and everyone and everything in it!! lol! Absolutely love ART in any medium ..the creativity the color ...the music...................ahhhhhhhh the SOUL!
