Product Details
Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

Little did she know she became his first art critic.
After dusting it off and turning it over, it is the image you see today-a vase with flowers that appear to be melting already defining his surrealistic style, being dubbed the 'Dali of the Desert'. Even then, at age of 14, "Curvismo" or curvism can be seen emerging from his work.
