Thanks for these things

Art making was so much better and easier and sleeker for these things :

1. Photoshop - it's mostly how one get's inspired or where one can jerk off - instant gratification - but if one is constantly using such, why still paint? or another form of collage?

2. Fake wood grain contact paper - but somehow one gallery reviewer seems to condone its use being a sign of "unoriginality", but hey it's there why not use it rather than spend hours smoothing out a plank of wood then varnishing it, it will still produce the same results anyway.

3. Archival printing at OWG - our latest find, thanks to Louie.

4. Primed canvas - shortens the painting prep process by 50% and it's all guaranteed to be gesso-layered already, cutting down also the need to finding the right mixture of emulsion and semi-gloss paint and glue to produce a surface that's halfway smooth and half-way absorbent to the proper degree of oil pigments.

5. Cheaper oil paint alternatives such as Korean brands and the classic Marie's

12. National Bookstore - I'm thinking of organizing a show based on the materials you'd find here. I guess you can make everything here really, except food of course.
