Andy Blank’s “Mind-Blowing” Framed Work of Art
Help your employee jazz up their home office with this colorful limited edition piece by Andy Blank, an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Only 100 “Mind-Blowing” framed works will ever be made! Featuring a stunning close-up photograph of a paint swish, this framed work is sure to be a conversation starter during at-home meetings. The print is of outstanding quality because it is made via a Giclée process that uses a 12 color ink jet printer, acid free papers, and pigment based archival inks. All of the colors really pop!
The photograph is mounted on a “Rising” mount board that is free of cotton and acid, all sitting behind museum-grade, UV-rated plexiglass. It also has a custom designed deep contemporary box frame that is injection moulded, which ensures that the frame is seamless–there is no chance of its corners splitting or getting damaged in transit! This piece also features a hanging wire and includes hanging equipment (tape measure, hanging hook, nails). Measuring 24″ x 24″ x 2″, it retails for $169 at andyblank.com.
Eone Bradley Mesh Gold Watch
This elegant timepiece will help your employee always stay punctual and dress to impress at the next business convention!

Universally inclusive and highly durable, it will help your employee stay on-schedule in situations where they shouldn’t look at their watch and make a bad impression, like during a client presentation or meeting with investors.
The ball bearings travel around the watch in separate recessed tracks–the track around the center of the watch face tells the minute and the track around the outside edge of the watch face tells the hour. Your employee will also appreciate how the steel mesh strap keeps their wrist cool on hot days. Featuring Ronda quartz movement with Swiss parts, the watch fits wrists 6 ¼ – 8 ½ inches. It retails for $285 at eone-time.com.
