Thank you so much for your concern about our CEO, Ken Rakusin, his family, and their home. Fortunately, his family was able to evacuate safely and are now staying together at another property. While Ken’s home did sustain significant damage, estimated between $30,000 and $50,000 without insurance as State Farm dropped their coverage a few months ago, we truly feel it was a miracle that the house is still standing.
To give you an idea of the destruction around us: if you exit the home and look to the right, just four houses away, you'll see complete devastation stretching for about a mile and a half. However, to the left, there's minimal or no damage at all. It's truly astonishing how random and unpredictable this fire has been.
Our factory and offices are located 15-20 miles away from the nearest fire, so they are completely safe and secure. All of our team members are also living a similar or greater distance from the fires, so everyone is out of harm’s way.
We’re grateful to be safe and look forward to continuing business as usual.
This size 4, squirrel hair long dagger artist's brush is designed for painting stripes. Also known as a striping brush, this high-quality brush is used for painting thin lines, long and short teardrop-shaped lines and detailing work. Made with the finest squirrel hair, with a full body and a fine tip. This brush has a lacquered wood handle with a seamless nickel-plated ferrule. Trim length 7/16" with an overall length of 8-3/4".
The dagger striper is a unique brush with a fine tip and gradually curving, angled edge, ideal for painting precise, extra long and linear strokes. Its name is derived from a sword-like appearance and it is a very popular artist brush for pinstriping and free hand lettering.
The dagger can be used for faux marble to create subtle variations in the veining, the "wet fur" look by painting with the pointed part of the brush down and moving it upwards, and ideal for long grass, flower stems, leaves and beautiful foliage due to an ability to produce thick and think lines in a single stroke. In addition, the dagger striper brush is the traditional and very popular brush for free-hand lining and pin-striping.
