20-year-old art student, Lauren Boulden has built a broad portfolio including a plethora of Prismacolor products like the Premier Colored Pencils and Charcoal Pencils to name a few. Growing up  in Midlothian (about 20 minutes from Chicago), her art imbibes a certain urban influence as she hones her skill to one day become a tattoo artist. Tapping into the digital Prismacolor Gallery and community, she hoped to receive a well-rounded critique of her art, as well as build a strong network of fellow artists, but she hadn’t planned on catching our attention.

We are live! Prismacolor has joined the party on Pinterest and just in time for our big birthday (we totally planned that)! As we have shared in the past, Pinterest is a vision board-styled photo sharing website and app where users can create and manage theme-based image collections.

An online tool just meant for the art world.

Can you believe its been 75 YEARS since Prismacolor started its creative journey!? Personally I don’t think we look a day over brand-spanking new… a few packaging refreshers never hurt anyone right!?
