Today I stumbled across The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies. I guess there are some products there that you shouldn’t plan on seeing.

But look at a little closer, and I think you will find some of those supplies in our store. You may think that the ellipse template or stainless steel T-square are antiquities, but there is still some demand for them, and our distributors still carry them.

(213)art and (213)gallery were the working names, but we think we can do better. Of course, sitting around and brainstorming names can lead you down some dark alleys — and you end up with names that are better-suited for a speed-metal band, like Unicorns of Chaos.
