We had so much fun here! We stopped in because of Wormie World and ended up spending a good amount…read moreof time browsing the gallery and even visiting the artist workshops in the back. The staff is very friendly and they're happy to help you with your projects or answer questions. They have a lot of great art on display and we even found a piece that we purchased while we were there. We loved that they also have framing inspiration hanging so you can get an idea of different projects that they might be able to do for you. Now that we know about this spot we'll be back to frame some of the pieces we've been waiting to hang up.

For my birthday I was given a very large sticker card made by the now-grownup children from a…read morefamily I used to make sticker cards for long, long ago. They all worked on the card and the results blew me away. I wanted to be able to keep it and look at it forever, but it was fragile and needed expert framing. A friend suggested Artistic Edge, and the rest is history. Jessica spent the best part of an hour with me going over all the various possibilities. The color of the frame, the size, the matting, the various parts next to each other, the weight of what would be the final product. She acted like I was the only person of importance throughout all of this back-and-forth as I changed my mind over and over. Finally I was ready, and she said that it would be ready by X amount of time --- probably a bit sooner. Off I went. WEEKS before the date promised Kathy called and said the artwork was ready. When I arrived and saw it displayed I cried --- it was exactly what I wanted and ever so much more! Kathy talked to me --- and LISTENED --- as though I was the most important person in the world at that moment --- I told her all about who made the sticker card artwork and when and why, and she just listened and smiled and chatted and was wonderful. I took my artwork home, hung it up, and took pictures for all the sticker artists to enjoy. Everything has come out perfectly! This is a beautiful, meaningful, lovely piece of art, in the absolutely perfect frame. Artistic Edge did an awesome job --- they respected the artwork, they respected me, they threw their artistic talents into this, and I feel that at the same time they got a kick out of doing it. We all of us have beautiful, meaningful artistic treasures hanging around our homes. I can promise you that if you bring them in, Artistic Edge will give them glory in a whole new dimension! What a fantastic place!!!

I bought a piece of art at an estate sale and after doing lots of research found that it might be…read moreworth a hell of a lot more than I paid for it. I had no intention of keeping it and bought it to resell however, I'm no pro when it comes to appraisal so I scouted this appraisal service out on Yelp and called to find out if they could take a look at my art. I spoke to a girl who said they were busy but I could drive over, and they might be able to take a quick look or I could drop it off and leave it so they could do the research on it. I didn't think this service was going to be free but there was no mention of a charge for them to simply look at it. I made the drive out to the house (it was literally a house with a make shift appraisal shop in the garage). I parked in the driveway, walked in and was greeted by the same girl I'd spoken to earlier, she was really friendly and answered the few questions I had, one of them being about the cost. She handed me 2 pieces of paper which had all the various prices for each appraisal service and WOW, it was costly! The simple service of having the appraiser glance at it was a ton more than the actual art piece! She took a look at the art and excused herself to go talk to the appraiser to see if he had a quick minute to take a look at it. She disappeared for a minute then came back advising that I could leave it and they'd do research on it and get back to me. At that point an older (70 ish) man walks out from the back, looks at me, doesn't say hello, doesn't say ANYTHING and just stands there looking at me. Umm ok... AWKWARD, so I say, "Hi, how are you doing?" he finally says one word and responds, "Good". And that's it before he turns around and disappears. RUDE. I asked the girl if that was the appraiser, she said yes and then he yells from the back, "My appointment is here!" She then asks again if I'd like to leave the art piece and I politely declined. I mean, there was no reason to be rude to her when she was actually very kind, it was the appraiser who was rude and unwelcoming. Nope, not leaving my art there and paying the crotchety old dude one cent, thank you very much. The thing is, on my way out, my car was still the only one in the driveway. It was a 2 car driveway and while I was inside the old dude claimed that his "appointment was there" however, that appointment must have driven in her invisible car being that mine was the only one there. I will note that this business isn't easy to get to unless you're in a car, it's on a super busy street, there are no sidewalks and it's not a walker friendly location so... yeah, how his appointment was there I don't know. It seemed more as if he just wanted to prove he didn't have time to glance at my art piece. Totally fine, the prices are outrageous anyway. Attitude can make or break whether a new customer gives you their money and/or becomes a returning customer. In this case, the appraiser won't get my money but instead 2 stars for the girl who works in the front, thanks for being nice! Kindness is worth it's weight in gold these days.

Do not go to him for an appraisal! I have a Japanese woodblock print that I was thinking about have…read moreit appraised. I brought it to him. I never got a call back, so I just brought it in. It's his personal residence. I told him I wanted to find out if it would be worth it for me to spend the money for an appraisal. If so, then I would talk to him about having him do one. He started looking at it right then, but because I had shown up without an appointment, I left them with him and made an appointment to talk about it then, when he had the time. I went to see what he thought and pick them up. His assistant handed me a bill for $560!! There were 2 folders of something printed out. I was shocked, to say the least! I was so upset I almost start crying. I said I never asked for him to do any appraisal. Just if he thought it would even be worth it for me to get an appraisel. He asked what he was supposed to do with it all; they did a lot of research on it, because it's rare it wasn't easy. We went back and forth, and when I realized they were going to make me pay if I wanted to take them home, I said I would go to find an ATM and come back since they would only take cash. I could only get $175 because I had no idea I would have to pay anything. He asked what I wanted to do with it, and I said I wanted to sell it. He asked something about did I want him to buy it He quietly said he would work with me, but his assistant wants to be for her work on it. He asked if I had any jewelry. I said yes. He saw I had a large silver and turquoise bracelet on and wanted to look at it. I told him it was a Robert Shack piece. He said he would probably give me something like $100. It's currently going for $1200! At that point I knew definitely not to bring any jewelry. So I gave them the money and signed a receipt for $175, with a balance due of $385, and left. When I got home, I emailed them the email I had written when I first dropped it off. Which said exactly that I wanted him to take a look and find out if he thought it a good idea to have it appraised. If he thought so, then we could discuss that. If I actually did want to go ahead and have one done, I would only want a verbal, for $65, not the $150 an hour/$90 an hour for his assistant. So I said that I would pick it up, and I wanted a refund for my $175. When I went to get my print, they wouldn't give me a refund. Richard was acting all confused, asking his assistant what was going on. He's very old and hard of hearing. She told me that she didn't know what we had discussed originally because she wasn't in the room at that time. When I said I had never indicated in any way that I wanted any appraisal, they said that by signing the receipt showing a balance due, that meant I agreed to it. I kept telling them to show me anything where I asked for an appraisal having him do it, but he kept insisting that he didn't need anything else., and we could let a judge could say it. Kept saying that. So I went to 2 ATMs to get $395 so I could take my print home with me. When I was going back and forth with the guy, Richard started being all confused about it all. Looking back on it now, I'm not buying it. Now I have to take him to court. They must not believe I would do it, because there's no way he could possibly think he'd win. He has only the receipt I signed with a balance due, and NOTHING ELSE! And I have my email proving my side.

Great School!! TDA…read moreis a four(4) week long Truck Driving school that focuses not only on a student getting their Class A license, but making a student a professional driver. The school is set up for the students to get a lot of time behind the wheel of the truck. They do that by having a maximum of four(4) students to one(1) instructor at all times. If for any reason there would be more than 4 students, they call in another instructor with another truck to make sure they keep those numbers. First week is in the class room learning the basics and getting ready to take the DMV written tests. Once you pass the test the rest of the time you are in the "Yard" learning the ins and outs of driving a commercial truck. The school has two(2) trucks to train you with. They are 10 speed manuals and have "sleepers" on them so they are the kind you would most likely be driving once you got a job. You will learn city and highway driving in Yuba City, Marysville and Sacramento as will a small little towns around the area. You will drive on 99, 70, I 5 and I 80 and small little back roads that are narrow and tight as well as backing up to docks so you will be will rounded. The school is great because if you have a hard time learning, or just take longer than the normal time, the school will continue to work with you until you have passed your driving test with DMV at no extra charge. There have been students there for months and months and the instructors work with them. As long as this is something you want, they will work with you as long as you are not disrespectful and you show up to class. When I took my written test at DMV, they had guessed I came from TDA due to how will I did on my tests. While on my driving test, the DMV examiner made the comment "It was nice for once to ride with someone that knew how to drive" and while I waited outside DMV watching others students from other schools drive, I saw what the examiner was talking about. Out of about 10 student drivers that day, I was one of only two drivers to pass and get my license. The school helps with financing and job placement. The day I passed my DMV Drive test, they had found me a job. The funny thing was, it wasn't a truck driving job. In this school, you are a person, not a dollar sign. I had told them the field I was coming from was hard to find work in and that was why I was switching careers. They found me a job in my original career that paid better than what I had been getting before and would pay better then any job they could find at that time for trucking. This school may cost a little more, but its will worth it with the time and focus they give you and they are the only one that is state certified in the area. If that's not enough, many of the students from the past came by or called up the instructors to let them know how they were doing and to ask them more questions about the industry, and even ask about companies before applying to see if it was what they were looking for. That says a lot to me. Best School ever!!!!
