Paint by numbers SWINGIN' TEENS


How groovy is this? Paint by numbers hip swingin' 60s teens? And look at the price! $1.70 a set! Real oil paintings hanging on your wall for a buck seventy. So who was the original artist that created these and broke them down into the number system?

Created by The Art Award Company of North Bergen, New Jersey. Take a look here to see some of their other products. Don't be frightened when you are faced with a bunch of Keane knockoffs. Keane paintings were probably some of the worst popular art to come along in the early 60s. Now, I know there are people who love them, but...well I won't say anything else because then I might say something about Kincade and...then I start thinking about velvet Elvis.

  2. Boy, I remember those paint-by-number things! They were fun for those of us who couldn't draw a stickman without assistance, but the subjects were always sooooo awful!
