Art.

When I first started thinking about decorating 2404, I knew each item had to have two characteristics: have a lot of impact and be inexpensive.  I started looking at oversized canvas prints on Overstock.com and came across an artist that I like. I googled her and it lead me to another website. The holy grail of cheap, awesome art, if you will, GalleryDirect.com. Here I came across another obsession, artist Darvin Jones, who is from Austin, where we lived for a bit.  I loved his big, in-your-face abstracts and the funkier anime-inspired ones.  I ordered 5 in all from him and 2 other ones from another graphic artist.  Each canvas is huge (4 feet x 3 feet) and was only $129 with a coupon.  Oh, I forgot to mention the best part: shipping is only $9.99 for EVERYTHING.  Seriously, folks, I had 5 huge canvases delivered to my house for $9.99.  Can't beat it. 

Here are the pieces:

 This is from another artist, Sean Jacobs

 

This subway scroll came from Art.com

 

These posters are from acts we've seen and were bought on amazon.com. I used cheap poster frames from ben franklin and had mats cut for them there. 

These are fabrics, I've collected from IKEA and fabric.com, stapled to cheap canvas

This is some fun art I made for Z's nursery, which has translated well through the years.

Finally, here are some fun wallpaper decals I got on clearance at our science museum.
