I'm very proud of myself - I managed to avoid spending $800 yesterday. I've been poking around trying to find a bit or art that's 18"x36" (an odd dimension at best) and I ran across the Michael Godard gallery again. There are a couple of his works that I really want and in a fit of eBay craziness yesterday, I almost bid on a few. But I came to my senses and missed it by inches by reminding myself that buying a house requires cash and spending it on art is not a good way to have any on hand. You'd think that wouldn't be so hard to remember.
Anyway. While poking around I finally found the surrealist that I loved in Vegas: Vladimir Kush. Fantastic art, horrible website.
Yeah, so since my taste in art is expensive and there's nothing that will fit the dimensions I need (I have to hide the breaker box that's a horrible gaping hole in the wall), I'm making my own thing. I found some awesome paper and a couple of Chinese coins and I'm going to do some creative framing. If it turns out well, I'll post before and after photos.

But I digress...what I wanted to post in brief is this:
comission college and/or high school artists. I did it, it may cost a little extra in time, at first...but it can be great fun.
