Who can afford huge impressive pieces of art these days? Even just properly framing a piece can eat up a surprising amount of one's budget and especially considering the current trend of clustering MANY pieces together:
we thought we'd share a few of our favorite resources for more affordable art.
Binth -
We were tipped off to this website by Design*Sponge for their amazing one-of-a-kind prints (for $45) which we love.
In addition to the one-off's which sell out and refresh often, Binth offers limited edition prints, greeting cards, and one of the most adorable baby books we've ever seen.

This company that grew from a brother/sister team features a constantly rotating collection of artists. The beauty of this website is that when you buy a print (for $20) a full $5 is donated to a charity of the artist's choosing. A quick peek at the gallery confirms that this month's selection is as original as ever.Aesthetic Apparatus -
In addition to art prints, this site also has some great, grown-up concert posters for the hipster inside us all.

You made my day!!!
Considering I know little to nothing about this topic, I just wanted to give a brief shout out to Bets, who always has something fantastic to say... and thank god.
Another source for affordable art is http://tinyshowcase.com/
shit usually sells out though, so every thursday get on the site quick for their newest print.
thanks for this info!! i am hugely into interior design and am constantly frustrated by the difficulty in finding affordable art. (phat tony - i am also very thankful for your contributions as well - TOTALLY saves me from some unbearable time at work. hehe.)
on another note - is there a way to change the settings on the blog so that when you click on one of the links it opens a new window? that way we don't have to lose the page we were reading with your wonderful musings and suggestions. :)if not, no biggie. just thought i'd bring it up.
