" .... It was March 16th, 1981, one year after the introduction of the Pentax LX. The ten-millionth Pentax SLR camera, an LX, came out of AOC’s main plant in Mashiko and was given to the chief designer, then chairman of Asahi Opt. Co. Ltd. Minoru Suzuki. In order to celebrate this 10 million event, on August 25th, 1981 a limited edition "LX Gold" was introduced. It was 18 carat gold plated with brown leather (also-called lizard skin or snake skin) and was equipped with an SMC Pentax f/1.2 50mm lens also with brown leather and gold finish. All dark details of the LX Gold are dark-brown instead of black, including the front lens ring and film chamber, with only the film pressure plate and the small watch curtain in black. Of course, the natural titanium shutter curtains remain unchanged. Also a brown lens cap and everready case were provided with the LX Gold. The package included a wooden box with red lining and white silk gloves to handle the camera without leaving fingerprints on the... See less

The Blick Master Etch Model II is a precision tool of intermediate size, durable enough for classroom use, and versatile enough for any studio. The press is made of lightweight contemporary materials, but it has weight where weight is needed for strength — in the solid steel rolls. Compare our price and the following features with those of other presses of this size: * Easy turn handles operate the finely threaded and calibrated pressure adjusters. * Dual calibration pressure markings allow for both speed in the initial rough adjustment, and accuracy in the fine tuning. * The spring assisted, finely machined 4¼" upper roll, and the lathe-turned 3" lower roll are both solid steel and ride on industrial quality, long-life roller bearings. * The ½" thick phenolic bed plate is a lightweight, non-porous, non-compressible material that will not rust. Prints up to 22" × 35" may be pulled on this bed, which measures 23-5/8" wide and 36" long. * Fully enclosed steel gears drive the lower roll... See less

The Dürer Grid is a modern adaptation of the historic drawing tool used by Da Vinci and Van Gogh. It is attributed to Albrecht Dürer, whose master drawings from five centuries ago still astonish us for their realism. Here's how it works. Position the Dürer Grid close to your subject matter. Draw a similar grid pattern on your canvas or paper. Looking through the Dürer Grid and using its lines as a road map, transfer what you see onto your own gridded surface. Elastic cords can be moved up or down to form any number of configurations, including diagonal patterns useful for perspective drawing. The 40" × 40" model has a smoothly finished hardwood frame. The 18" × 18" model has a PVC frame. This studio floor model stands 6 feet tall with a 40" × 40" grid. Thorough instructions are included. see also ... See less

Golden Polymer Varnish with UVLS (UltraViolet Light Stabilizers) is a waterborne acrylic polymer varnish that dries to a protective, flexible, dust-resistant surface. Use it as a final sealant over acrylic paint. Polymer Varnishes must be thinned before use. They have been formulated thicker than traditional varnishes, to maintain an even suspension of matting agents. This ensures more consistency in surface reflectance. Varnishes are available in a highly reflective Gloss, and an exceptionally flat Matte. The matte varnish will lighten dark value colors. This varnish is removable with ammonia for restoration purposes. For interior use only. see also ... * Golden Acrylic Gel Mediums * Golden Acrylic Mediums * Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics 4 oz * Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics 16 oz * Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics 128 oz * Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics 2 oz * Golden MSA Acrylic Varnish See less

This is a truly revolutionary breakthrough in easel design! The Windmill revolving easel incorporates groundbreaking new technology that won first place for Best New Product at the 2007 NAMTA (National Art Materials Trade Association) Show. The Windmill assembly rotates a full 360°, allowing unobstructed access to every part of the canvas surface, while unique brackets hold the stretcher frames from the inside to allow access to the edges. A hydraulic damper also allows the canvas to be tilted horizontally from -2° to 90° to accommodate pastels and watercolors, or for working on fabric and embroidery arts. The Windmill assembly can be detached from the easel, for attachment to other vertical surface, such as walls — or any horizontal surface, such as a worktable. An extra counterweight is recommended with particularly large canvases or when the pivot assembly is attached to another manufacturer’s easel. Beautiful and durable, the Windmill is constructed of satin finished birch... See less

So much more than just a writing implement, these exquisite graphite objects are decorative sculptures. Meticulously crafted in the studio of San Francisco artist Agelio Batle, he combines carbonaceous graphite (mineral remains of prehistoric plant life) with smudge-resistant compounds under intense pressure to create his source material. The resulting material is then fused into representations of various forms found in nature; our collection highlights land, water and air objects. All the surfaces of each object can be used for writing; they will not smudge the hands. The graphite wears very slowly; if used everyday each object should last 7 to 9 years. Comes in Leaf, Shell and Quill. Click Select Style below to choose. These objects are delicate and should be treated with the same care given to china or glass. Contains no lead. See less

Posted by: Aart van Bezooyen on Friday, November 16 2007 belOga comes with a big "O", and an even bigger circular touch-screen which replaces the usual scheme of buttons and controls. This sewing machine concept was designed by Kristine Brückner, an industrial design graduate from the Munich's University of Applied Sciences with an impressive portfolio. Apart from its less than ordinary shape, the belOga makes sewing more fun. By laying in a spool of thread the machine automatically conducts the thread through the machine - all you have to do is put the thread through the needle to get started. The centre display allows you to see what the stitch will look like in advance, this means less unpleasant stitching surprises. You can even enjoy the inner life of the belOga through two little lenses on the side of the body. Kristine notes that the belOga is not yet in production, so feel free to drop her a message (male.diven@gmx.de) if you know anyone who is not afraid to spice up the... See less

We always think of aerial photographs and helicopters in the same sentence but now thanks to Skyros, you can take amazing bird’s eye view pictures while remaining safely on the ground. Interesting concept you might agree! This fascinating device, known as the Skyros, designed by Siddharth Kambe & Dipti Hanako Kambe, provides a refreshing view on modern day concepts regarding cameras. If you consider that not too long ago (in historical terms at least) the human race marveled at the daguerreotype (1839) and just over 170 years later we’re talking about launching cameras and taking digital photos at bird’s eye view (without leaving the earth’s crust!) It is simply amazing how far we have progressed in such little time. The Skyros concept revolves around the simple scientific art of pneumatic pressure. The Skyros aerial camera is launched approximately 120 feet into the air, from the ground, and eventually retains stability through use of its rotors. As the Skyros floats back to earth, it...
