Art I like

[theatokos]

I have been so busy with hiring stuff at work - this part of the job I really enjoy. I've gotten great feedback on the candidates I called in and on the entire process. It's nice to feel all professional n stuff. I am really excited about the team that's come together at my wee nonprofit.

As the day winds down early in preparation of Rosh Hashanah, I took a break to finally check out a website of an artist I saw at a show two weeks ago in San Francisco at the Giant Robot store. Jack Long's work was beautiful in person, and it looks just as lovely on the screen. I loved how each piece, and the collection of the whole, seemed to be illustrations from an esoteric children's book. I really wish I could have afforded some of his work.

Shana tova!

just yesterday jack long sold a small piece through tiny showcase (http://tinyshowcase.com/). have you looked at tiny showcase before? his run sold out in about 50 minutes, but it's a really nice little picture.

I had no idea!! I would have loved a print of his, and for only $20! His work is lovely. But even his itty bitty originals sells for like $250. But, original art is a good thing.

yeah, tiny showcase is a great little site and they have some really nice artists. i like that you can get a really nice quality print for a reasonable price and that part of your money goes to a worthy charity. chris and i have some prints from there, but you really have to jump on the tuesday unveiling otherwise things go very quickly. if you can't afford even tiny originals, and as much as we might like to we can't, tiny showcase is a great alternative.
