Some good art.
It's really interesting to see the kinds of artwork that comes through the frame shop. I mean really, who has the money for frivolous things like art when simple necessitous things like milk and bread have become 7% more expensive?
The funny thing is that people seem to spend a 300% markup more on their frames than the art. I mean... I've seen it too many times. People go on vacation to Europe and buy cheap prints or canvas art from local vendors and come back to the states to pay $350 to frame the thing. Art is worth its weight if you love the piece, but seriously? These are upper middle class Americans settling for boring landscapes to hang in their living room. Ugh. I'm tired of that, let's be more adventurous.
But today, a buyer/reseller of art came in with an original Joan Miro lithograph. *music plays* A breath of fresh air. Apparently, it could fetch $30k.

I feel like art shouldn't be framed. But that's just me. I have an affinity for unframed art. Art in its rawest state. That is the type of art I like. But I think you'd have figured that when looking at how I put up my stuff in my room aside from Isaiah's stuff :P
