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!

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.

I found it amazing that a visitor to Cultureclash would find the staff "snotty". I've watched and…read morelistened to the gallery people care for all kinds of folks dressed in all kinds of clothes.

Excellent gallery, super snotty and unwelcoming owner/attendant. Even when asked about the artist…read moreof a piece, all I got was "they are not from here...we've carried their work for a long time." Even after buying a couple small pieces, no offer of who the artist was or any other information. I was half tempted to just buy the majority of the gallery in a Pretty Woman-esque snit. Yes, we were wearing athletic wear after a day in the mountains and perhaps did not seem up to snuff. But, I'm an artist and I collect art on all my travels, and my traveling companion also has a massive, high-end folk and American art collection, so...way to go, shop.
