  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

R&F Handmade Paints Pigment Sticks

R&F Handmade Paints Pigment Sticks are seductively soft oil paints in stick form, providing today's artist with a truly direct way to work.” I love working with these sticks. You can use them on your canvas like a crayon--and then blend them--or you can run your brushes over them, just as you would dip into a palette. They’re soft, luscious to work with, and there’s absolutely no waste involved. There are a variety fo sets available. Any one of them will make a fabulous gift for any of your oil painter friends! 

Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind

“Nicholl aims for the man behind the myth in this penetrating, highly detailed biography, which recognizes da Vinci's "mysterious greatness as an artist, scientist and philosopher" but avoids hagiography (and nearly steers clear of the word ‘genius’).”  Don’t miss this one--a very fascinating and human account of the great master’s life. Your gift recipient will love it!
