I love Shark Week on T.V. There are few programs more captivating than Why Sharks Attack, Killer Sharks, and Shallow Water Sharks. After tuning in, I can only be in awe at the ocean. It is hard to believe how many deadly, but cool creatures live in the ocean. While I watch from my couch, […]

According to recent polls, fall is the majority of American’s favorite season– 33% of them, to be exact. And why wouldn’t it be?

In today’s world of smartphones and digital photography, we get the instant gratification of seeing photos the second they’re snapped.

You had a great trip. You hiked to the top of the mountain, or you lounged on the beach looking at the crystal-clear water, and you snapped a photo. Or, you snapped a really long photo.

I used to love apple pie. Nice and crisp on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside. One bite, and I was in heaven. Later on, though, my taste for apple pie wore off. Blueberry pie was my crush now. Not as tart as apple, but more rich and still as gooey. I […]

If you’ve been keeping up with our blog, then you’ll see that we are spending some time promoting aluminum prints. One of the biggest differences between acrylic prints and aluminum prints is that aluminum prints are able to hang, or stand, outside. Acrylic prints will fade if directly in the sunlight and lose their vibrancy. […]
Can aluminum prints become more popular than acrylic prints? Only time will tell. As we mentioned in a previous blog, there is a global shortage of acrylic due to the manufacture of COVID-19 barriers. Though we made some smart business moves back in March, and we are no where near exhausting our supply of acrylic, […]
The epidemic is entering its third month. As we all know, things have changed. There’s a “new normal” of social distancing, mask-wearing, and isolation.

As a business owner, I know how important it is to make sure that working spaces are vibrant, interesting, and appealing to both employees and clients.

We all have our own tastes. From food to clothes, and even to our relationships with others, we all have something that attracts us.
