We combine and tweak each piece of the product so it's not an exact replica, of course, out of respect for the great commercial artists of the past. We acquire this material from places like eBay, antique stores, estate sales and swap meets. Whenever possible, we sample our brushes from mid-century catalogs, advertisements, posters and other material. So what exactly does that mean? Here's the breakdown.
