Wallet-Friendly Art.



And it's nice to be able to call it "art" at these prices - and not just "wall decor", a term you'll find in many catalogs these days.

I came across this cool site called 20x200 that sells original photos and paintings in limited editions of 200 in 3 sizes, 8.5x11", 22x17", or 30x40" at $20, $200, and $2000 each, respectively. The offerings change constantly and once they're sold out, that's it. The site is curated by Jen Bekman and is a virtual gallery of up and coming artists.

The photo at the top above is one I particularly liked by Don Hamerman. He finds baseballs at a field near his house. Sometimes they have been decaying for years like this one, giving them a very rustic, organic feel. This piece is "Untitled (Elephant)".

The one below is titled "Kerry" by Jacob Escobedo. He doesn't share much of the rationale behind the name aside from saying that his work is all named after his loved ones' favorite animals. His personal website shows his portfolio of prints, music posters, logos, websites - all kinds of graphic design projects he's done. He is a programming director for Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.

There are many more intriguing images on the site - go check them out!
