One of the upsides of my new apartment is that I have plenty of empty wall space that's crying out for decoration. This means I get to shop for art! Meaning, I get to give talented artists some cold hard cash in exchange for being able to take one of their wonderful creations home with me. This makes me extremely happy. I'm dedicating this week's posts to some of the art that will soon be hung on the walls in my new home.
Sunday afternoon brought another installment of the Capsule Design Festival to San Francisco. With over 150 local artists and designers in attendance, it was an amazing opportunity to buy some unique clothing, art and accessories straight from the person who made them.
I commissioned two pieces of art from Wexford Girl. You can purchase art from her through her Etsy shop or her online gallery. Check out her style:
I also really had my eye on a few pieces on display by Cut Out Art Gallery. I was captivated by Mark Fox's art in particular. I have a thing for collecting pieces of art that feature musical instruments, and I especially love his tree stump phonographs.
The more I think about it, what I'd really like to commission is a fully functional tree stump phonograph. Surely someone out there could make me one?
