A multipurpose holder designed for books, electronic devices, and fine art. It is comprised of a solid back and durable base that can support large items. An adjustable rear back support is held in place by an oval-shaped ring and tightened with screws. A rear back support allows for inclination of the multipurpose holder. Two feet provide stabilization. Two hinges hold a magnetic swinging visor in place and the visor can be placed in the upward or the downward position. When the visor is in the downward position, a built-in storage embodiment is easily accessible. The storage embodiment has an exterior box and interior compartment. There are hooks at the back and magnetic components at the front to allow for the attachment of accessories. It is light in weight and has handles that make it easy to carry.

A pochade box for artists may include a sliding parallel palette. Specifically, the pochade box may include a box having a lid hingeably attached to a box body; a workpiece securing member slidably attached to the lid such that the workpiece securing member slides out of an edge of the lid distal from the box body when the lid is open, the workpiece securing member designed to hold a workpiece; and a palette slidably engaged with the lid such that the palette slides horizontally side to side when the lid is open, resulting in the palette being oriented parallel with the workpiece.

A multipurpose easel includes a generally rectangular base element mounted on a detachable support assembly. The generally rectangular base element includes one or more display surfaces configured to indicate information, for example, time, reminders, notes, etc. The generally rectangular base element houses a lightbox configured to provide a tracing surface on the generally rectangular base element. Further, the multipurpose easel comprises one or more storage compartments for storing a plurality of objects, for example, attachment elements, palettes, coloring agents, art supplies, etc. The multipurpose easel includes a universal service bus (USB) interface port for connecting an electronic device.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to quick-assembly, articulating easel that moves from a planar orientation to an extended orientation with minimal manual manipulation. The easel components are movably interconnected, both in a compressed position during storage and in an extended position after assembly. The opposing writing surfaces of the easel may be oriented in upward positions parallel to the upward-facing bottom tray when in the compressed and/or disassembled position. Based on disengaging at least a portion of the interconnected easel components, such as by raising at least a portion of the easel components in an upward direction, the opposing writing surfaces may then be shifted in orientation to provide outward-facing writing surfaces in the assembled easel position. The articulating legs may then follow an arcuate curvature in travel between the various positions.
