Cool NEW puzzles!

We got a bunch of new puzzles in the shop this week, and this Vintage NYC Travel Poster made into a 1000 pcs challenge is one of my favorites. The Poster was created by David Klein,  an American artist who is best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA) during the 1950s and 1960s. NYC Travel Poster Puzzle– $18.

Sketch a masterpiece!

There’s so many amazing new things in the store, it’s hard to just pick one to blog about!! However, I am totally in love with these two items: Missing Masterpieces Sketchbook and Subway Graffiti Sketchbook! What can I say, they’re awesome! And in the words of one of our customer’s: “How cool! This is one of those things you could give to anyone!” And it’s true – these sketchbooks are great for little doodles as well as grand masterpieces. Let out your inner artist and start sketching!

Etch A Sketch Shaking up the Political World…

Been watching the news? Amidst the many compelling and riveting stories out there with more heart at the center of their issues is the ETCH A SKETCH/ Mitt Romney Story. One of Romney’s Aide’s compared his candidate’s campaign to the Timeless Retro Toy (when Primary season is over the political landscape will be shaken up again, much like how this iconic toy resets itself). Well, the gaffe wasn’t good for Romney’s campaign but shares of Ohio Art, makers of Etch A Sketch have doubled– so someone’s making out from the comment. Want to get a piece of the action? We’ve got them in stock NOW! Etch A Sketch, 1960’s packaging (as in when Mitt’s dad was running for Prez)- $17.95.
