I?ve never understood why, but the Arts & entertainment world have always felt a quite sinister fascination for the ?died too young? artists. Perhaps the most famous case is James Dean in the cinema, but you?ll surely know Kurt Cobain in the music world or Jack Kerouac in the literature. And, if you look to the contemporary painting, you?ll find Jean-Michel Basquiat. Died at only 26, after a frenzy life highlighted with his ferocious graffiti art works, his multiple drug addictions and his problematic friendship with the also polemical Andy Warhol, Basquiat establishes himself not only as one of the most important artists of the second half of the past century, but also as a tragic icon of the contemporary Art world.

Why does one tube of Cadmium Red Light cost $14
and another is only $2.99?
Confused?
A condensed explanation is: unless it says artist on the tube, it isn’t!
The following information refers to all paint media: Acrylic, Oil, and Watercolor.
You’ve noticed, I’m sure, that the artist grade paints are always more expensive. Here’s why. The only ingredients in the tube are pigment and binder (the vehicle that makes the paint moist and workable). These contain the finest quality paint available to the artist.
n recent years many people like to have their own oil paintings. There are few companies in the market who offers ‘a painting from photo’ services.
