We seek products that bring you to the doorstep of one or all three of these things -- whether it's a vivid tube of alzarian crimson, an odd little doll that beckons utter cuteness, or the perfect writing pen.
Surprise yourself with a great selection of quality art materials for all levels of talent. Indulge in the beautiful and often whimsical culture of Japan with a variety of pottery, candy and drinks, kawaii and traditional imported gifts. Explore a fun and unique assortment of greeting cards and stationary, plus a quality selection of journals, notebooks, paper and pens from around the world. We also have a great kids section featuring product lines that encourage development and imagination. There's even a chalkboard little kids can create works of art on while the parents shop.

The Sketchy Artist is the definitely the place to shop for something truly original and off the beaten path - whether you're an artist or not!
