"Requiem for the Super Ball©" works on ARTSICLE.com


Artist and I.S.S. Co-Founder, Henry J. Simonds, has joined the stable of artists on the new start-up venture, Artsicle.  The website is designed as a way to give artists exposure to new buyers and markets, by giving them a platform to have their work shown.  The service also allows members to rent works. This lets both temporary dwellers and new buyers who may want to live with a piece first to try things out on loan.  Our friend Dan is involved on the curation side, so we are pleased to be a part of the venture.

The links below take you to:

I hope you'll share this with all your collector and artist friends.  Also, real estate brokers looking to spruce up a space.

Cheers,

The Founders

Non-spectral Color Superball (Pink) 

These uniformly colored balls are created in colors and tones that are not represented on the color scale and, according to color theory,  do not occur naturally in the color spectrum.  These include Pink, Black, White, Gray, and Purples among others.
