apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We were in Acorn in Brooklyn, where we saw this image hanging on the wall - apparently being sold as artwork. On inquiring we discovered that it was a screen print on balsa wood and was the handiwork of Ross Menuez, the designer behind Salvor, a SoHo based company that makes bags, t-shirts, pillows and all sorts of trendy stuff through Areaware.

While we respect the pillows and stuff, it's the artwork that draws us in.

A sort of side project, these screen prints run about $350, come in limited editions of @ 300 and are printed on light balsa pieces that allow each one to roll up and fit into a tube. There are a number of images, some of which are here, and they seem to be testing grounds for the images he takes to clothing and pillows, etc.

If you dig a little deeper, there is an interesting group of connections swirling around Ross Menuez (I urge you to click away). Here are some of the places that he is linked to:
