• Print(s) of the Day: The Secret Lives of Celebrities

  [$55, TopatoCo] It's amazing what art can teach you about life. For example, I personally had no idea that Natalie Portman was terrified of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And that's just the beginning. Artist Brandon Bird has lots to teach us about Harrison Ford, Christopher Walken, and more: Read More...

• Prints of the Day: Ron English's Super Children

  [$35, MetroOrange Art] Apparently, Captain America used to smoke cigarettes and drink PBR when he was a kid (he must've grown up in Williamsburg)! These prints belong to artist Ron English (who did the Abraham Obama collection). On MetroOrange Art, they describe his work as "a steady stream of customized imagery laden with strong sociopolitical undertones, adolescent boy humor, subversive media savvy, and Dali-meets-Disney technique." Here are some more awesome prints:   Read More...

• Bob Ross Painting

  I loved coming home after school and catching my triple dose of Bill Nye, Carmen Sandiego, and Bob Ross (this was before I got lured to MTV by the likes of "Speed Racer", "Beavis and Butthead", and Bush). All the "happy paintings" and "happy trees" and "happy clouds". . .this guy deserves an homage more than any other modern artist of our time: Read More...

• Revenge of the Pencil Pushers

  I love everything about pencils: the sound of graphite on paper, the feel of polished wood, the way their smell reminds me of Mrs. Viale, my first grade teacher. So when I came across the designs at Pen Pencil Stencil, I was understandably excited. That lead-legged mariner above is the PPS Pencil Pirate, and there are many more arty goodies after the jump: Read More...

• A Reason to Buy CDs

  [photo via] As everyone knows, CDs are dying off as a media format. There is just no incentive to buy an album if it's only a collection of songs and that's it. Sure, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails can afford to offer their albums for free with special limited edition packs for the super fans, but things are a little bit tougher for the average independent artist. Enter Rhymesayers Entertainment and P.O.S. Together they have created CD packaging that acts as an art piece for P.O.S's latest album Never Better. Check out this video: Read More...

• The Sweet and the Low: Amy Giacomelli

  [$250, Etsy] I've been lusting after Amy Giacomelli's paintings for months now. Her vibrant swirlies and psychedelic trees give me a sucker punch that leaves me heartsick for days on end. Unfortunately, I'm at a stage in my life where I can't afford to pay even a couple hundred dollars for what is obviously incredibly fine art. I don't know exactly when Amy launched her second, prints-only shop, but I found it just last night and almost had a heart attack (the good kind). I will now proceed to snap up almost every print in the shop: Read More... Posted Jan 08 2009, 02:10 PM by Steph Auteri with | with no comments Filed under: Etsy, trees, paintings, prints, swirlies

• My Living Room Wall: Peacock Prints and Hues

  As I mentioned yesterday, I spent the weekend searching Etsy for the perfect wall hanging to replace my johnclark prints. Scrutinizing my living room, it suddenly occurred to me that — without even realizing it — I had been decorating with a peacock-like palette. Hardly a surprise, considering my love of all things peacock. (I want these so bad.) Pictured above is the antique chair I inherited from my grandparents, decorated with a deep purple throw pillow my mom had back in her dorm room days. After the jump, find more photos of the green and purple pieces in my living room, and the artwork I'm considering adding into the mix.   Read More...
