I just ordered Prolific Painter's Daytripper plein-air painting easel (JBeen designed). I chose the…read morenatural wood version with the crossbars and coupler. The entire ordering process was a cinch; they're already on it! I understand that all their easels are handmade in Colorado. And from what I gathered, they have 24-hr customer service with a real human being (no bots or AI here, baby!). The fellow I talked to--Nick--seemed like a real nice, helpful guy with a great sense of humor. I got a good feeling about this. Good to know there are still some American companies who care about true craftsmanship and artistic beauty. Nice work, people!

On a vacation to Salida, a friend who lives there suggested we visit a green cat. She said, "Salida…read moreis an artsy town and the very best gallery there is this one." Well, walking in, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I wanted to buy everything -- the stunning diachroic glass, the creative oil paintings, even the handcrafted jewelry! I ended up staying there for over an hour trying to make up my mind, and ended up with two stunning pieces (and a big smile on my face). While there, I met the artist/owner, Steph Brady, and just loved her. She was authentic, helpful, and just the nicest person around. Now back in Chicago, I get compliments on my art all the time. I wish a green cat was located here-- scratch that, I'd probably go broke!

These owners steal from artists. They do not return artwork, and do not respond to requests to pick…read moreup my artwork. They are thieves. Do not shop here. I hung many beautiful pieces in here; one appears in photo 8 on Yelp (on the wall behind the mug). I have never received any income, not a single dollar, from the 10 works I have displayed in here. I have reached out several times to come and get my art, they have never once responded. These are terrible business owners, and terrible human beings who make their living off of stealing from artists.

Used this road trip stop to pick up gifts and a couple of goodies for myself. Several potters are represented. There appeared to be something for everyone. Fair prices. Good tunes on the speakers. Friendly, non-pushy staff. Curmudgeon artist at the door. Beautiful weather. Lots of foot traffic on the street. Scenery sure didn't suck and the Arkansas River just waiting to be explored. Perfect.

I have relatives who have brought things with them from out of state to have them frame because they do such a stellar job. Just FYI, this will be more expensive than craft store framing because they use the correct supplies so that your art/photos/etc will not get damaged. If its important to you, its worth having Joe and Cindy frame it. You won't be disappointed.
