Think of this print as an expensive cheat sheet.

The prize for the best art history goes without doubt to Vuk Vidor, an artist from Belgrade working in Paris. His mural called ‘Art History’ is a list; on each line he links an artist to his/her cultural impact in three words. He is so efficient that he tackles over 30 in his piece. So for example he writes ‘Mondrian owns Geometry’, ‘Pollock owns Drippings’, ‘Warhol owns Pop’, ‘Botero owns Fat’ and ‘Munch owns Despair’.

Screen prints are one of my favorite ways to add interest to a wall without having to spend too much money.
I’m particularly fond of the works of Ink Posters–they’re simple, modern and not too fussy.

My oh my, only $10 for some delightful animal portraits. These would be great grouped together like a family picture wall. There are a ton of animals to choose from, so don’t be discouraged if these aren’t your favorites. I’m tempted to collect a few myself.

This art project shows every scheduled flight on any given day with fine lines from the point of origin to the destination. Thousands of lines form dark knots in the busier areas with lighter lines showing less frequented locations, all which define the continents rather than the land/sea relationship. I tend to like the resulting ghost-like net of lines. I might just buy one.

White or Black available.
(The white on black poster is limited to a print run of only 100.)
Each poster is printed on state of the art offset printers on high quality heavyweight fine-art paper. Securely packed and shipped in cardboard mailing tube.

Since today is the inauguration for our next president, I thought it only appropriate to post one of many, many items commemorating the event.

This oversized ballot was printed specifically for the old-fashioned, pull-lever voting machines used in New York City. These hulking gray machines have been in commission since 1962 and after 46 years of service, are slated to go into retirement this year. We are fortunate to have a limited number of these official, uncut, unused ballots. Sections of the ballot feature voting instructions and a full list of candidates and parties.

Graphic posters are an inexpensive way to decorate lonely walls; these posters would look great in a kid’s room, but maybe you could be creative with other words or sayings?

Delightful arrangement of old flashcards to adorn your walls…

“They once introduced proper usage to Fifties schoolkids…cleverly rearranged, these vintage Dick & Jane flashcards now proclaim witticisms delightfully naughty and devilishly nice, phrases humorous and pointed, messages meaningful and memorable—like all truly enjoyable art. Framed behind glass in matte black metal. Each is unique.”

Sizes range from 12-1/4″W x 9-3/4″H to 12-1/4″W x 21″H.

Posters are an inexpensive way to get some good art on your walls; a case in point is this particular one by Wayne Pate- it’s bold and graphic, yet not much more than what you’d spend on a decent dinner.
