apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

but how in the world do you print them? what about frames?

Good question! And certainly reason for another post on both of these subjects. The short answer is that you download the pictures and can take them (on disk) to any photo developer in the city to print them (as beautifully as you like for as much $$ as you like). Frames can be done either custom, or good stock frames can be found at Pear Paint, IKEA, The Art Store, or any good art supply store. MGR

The internet is great for many things, but I start to get nervous when people begin lifting art off the net. I know you're not encouraging people to steal art from the web (although it's easy enough to do) but for 300 bucks one can buy a decent piece of original artwork from an emerging artists, often even pre-framed. And just as the net has no shortage of pirates, New York City has no shortage of struggling creative types who would be thrilled to adorn your blank apartment walls. Consider this: after a long day of staring at a moniter, wouldn't an overtly analog painting or print be a more welcome sight than more pixels? Become the proud owner of original artwork and support the cultural vitality of your city at the same time!
(Convinced? For starters, check out the BWAC Pier Art Show Opening May 8th from noon - 6pm at 499 Van Brunt, on the Red Hook Pier in Brooklyn. Over 300 Artists will participate with most of their artwork selling for under $500 and silent auction prices starting as low as $60.)
