Apparently the full colour spectrum set is sold out but you can still get sets of four in pink, green, orange, and blue at the Psanky Psanky etsy shop. What a gorgeous heirloom.

See it? There's a "rainbow warrior" in Albuquerque. Read about him or her on aesthetics of joy.
Who wouldn't be inspired by this watercolor set?

The Dotty-Wotty house, part of the Heidelberg Project, an outdoor art installation project in an inner-city neighbourhood in Detroit, Michigan, created by artist Tyree Guyton, whose trademark is the dot. Neighbourhood children helped him to paint abandoned houses in the area.

Just gorgeous. Every child needs an art teacher like Beth (who is also the "chief scribbler" for Brain, Child.)

Famed conceptual artist and provocateur Damien Hirst has said of his spot paintings: "I only ever made five... myself ... And my spots I painted are shite. ... The best person who ever painted spots for me was Rachel. She's brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant. The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel." Rachel Howard was one of his assistants. There are around 1000 "Hirst" spot paintings, the first of which was painted directly onto a gallery wall, and they are supposedly popular in Japan and Korea. Two essential books by Hirst are On the Way to Work and I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now
. Nice sentiment.
Here's a do-it-yourself (dot-it-yourself?) version:
Those circles were cut out of paper and applied with double-stick tape. The process took a couple of hours -- I suggest going one better and using stickers.
