  • 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.

Lee Krasner: A Biography

“Lee Krasner is best known as the artist-wife of Jackson Pollock, the renowned abstract expressionist painter. Yet in this riveting biography, by Gail Levin, the first full-length account of her colorful life, Krasner emerges as a significant artist who deserves her place in the twentieth century's cultural lexicon.” Available in hardcover, paperback, or Kindle editions--this is definitely a must read--and a great gift!

Sennelier The French School Opaque Watercolor Gouache Tube Sets set of 20 in case with brush

Gouache, which means "water paint" or "splash" in Italian, is a type of paint in which the pigment is suspended in water. Gouache is different from watercolor in that the particles are larger, there is much more pigment, and a white pigment such as chalk is also present. Gouache retains amazing velvety, opaque, and reflective qualities. This set of “versatile, opaque to semi-opaque paints can be applied directly from the tube or thinned with water for transparent watercolor effects. An excellent choice for color theory instruction and other educational purposes. Suitable for use on paper, hardboard, plastic and wood. Vibrant colors are non-toxic and completely washable.”
