It's Game Day! And what better way to celebrate Sunday Funday than by making some nacho cheeese inspired pastels....!?!?! Althought it's an organic pigment, we still don't recommend eating Goldenrod 580.1 & 580.3 here, who are busy getting ready to go out in a box with 60 other team mates as part of our Plein Air Assortment set.

It is with a heavy heart that we must ask for your grace as we get your next batch of orders out the door. We recently lost one of our Great American family members... Dan Rinker, my father and one of the best Basement Trolls I've had the pleasure of working alongside, is now dancing and singing with Jesus.

Full disclosure, this season has been extremely tough. We've been through Anderson's historic flood seeing our homes and shops destroyed, we got our first massive shipment out overseas, received a shocking Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis, did hospice, and now coming back from dad's passing... It's been a rollercoaster.

That being said, we are back in the shop feverishly making the best pastels on the planet! So thank you for your understanding and patience as we get your orders moving in a timely manner.

Love & Peace.

It's Try-Me Tuesday! or is it Thursday? Who knows... It must be some lack of sleep fog... or perhaps it is all these foggy Grey colors in front of me?!?! You to can feel foggy with our Try-Me-Grey kits. These collections are ever-evolving selections from our grey family lines. Ever-Changing like Dorian Grey's painting, these lines add a little more black & white (grey) pigments as they step down in the tint line from .0 (clear headed) to .6 (brain fog).

Feeling Rusty? Dead in the Head? Are you feeling as faded as this line here?!? Dead Head 120.2 has your feels today and is taking a mental health day to dry up focus on the future. So take a deep breath with us and Oxidize with this red iron oxide pigment!

Dead Head Paste here.  Not to be confused with Dragon's Blood paste.  This is Dead Head - Pure and Simple.
