For inexpensive art, take a good look at Areaware’s vinyl wall decals. The 98″ x 18″ wall panels might be the perfect thing for the end of a hallway or a ho-hum room. I’ll post the larger wall vinyls in the remodel section later on this week (since they would work/look more like a wallpaper as far as coverage).

Sometimes you have to spend money to save it, right? And a filigree skull money box is a lot more rock star than visiting your local bank, so maybe you’ll be encouraged to fill it up with change.

Daniel Piršč envisioned porcelain lace, which he applied to enchanting effect on this skull moneybox. “Porcelain can be different,” declares the ceramicist, who set out on this quest when he established his namesake studio in the Czech Republic town of Mikulov in 2005…This money box must go under the hammer to access any savings inside, forcing the coin collector to come to terms with what exactly is most precious…

I’ve watched Donnie Darko and Sexy Beast, so the chance of this bunny being non-creepy is long gone*, but for anyone who appreciated the earlier post on Herb Williams’ crayon sculptures you might be interested to see a new item has been added to the mix.

A sculptor who ingeniously uses crayons as his medium, [Herb] Williams creates works that are not only strikingly beautiful but playfully allude to serious cultural icons as well. And don’t forget that unmistakably happy smell. This spirited bunny measures 17 1/2″ x 12″ x 12″ and is made of crayons and Fiberglas. Signed and dated.

Here are some rather quaint paintings of birds…maybe to add to your art collection?

Clarke studied at Central St Martins in the early 80’s and throughout his varied career of being a lecturer, art director, curator and interior design consultant, he has always found pleasure painting birds…These days he gets to paint and draw birds fulltime. The drawings (above) are A4 and the paintings (below) are 10 x 8″ varnished acrylics with the bird sounds also incorporated into the layout. –Art-o-mart

The paintings are 10 in x 8 in, drawings A4
