Affordable Art Round-up For Kids
It's Friday, who wants to read with a holiday weekend here? So I'll make this post image heavy and text light, how's that sound? Eye candy here we come! But of course, I have to give you a little intro so here goes...
Littlest Flower: King of Castle $10
I could go on and on about affordable art (mostly prints) maybe even devote an entire blog to it (or book) because I'd never run out of content. It's a sickness, my design crack. If I showed you the plastic bin in my work studio filled with prints I've purchased over the years from artists I follow, you'd call me a total junkie. I need prints because I have to live around things that visually stimulate me. And when I have children, I will follow my own advice here and decorate their rooms with lovely art prints at least until they are old enough to tell me that the giraffes have to go because the Transformers or babes in bikinis are going up. While I can control what's on the walls, I'll no doubt be shopping at some of these fine stores below. Then again, I've already shopped at many of these stores so I'm living proof that some of these aren't just for the tots. If you click around the links below, you will no doubt find more grown up friendly designs by the many artists featured here.
So enough talking, let's look at some art!

My youngest daughter collects art on etsy and you have left out four of her favorite artists. They are ashley goldberg, matte stephens , lisa congdon and elsita mora. And although all these artists make and sell very affordable prints she likes to ask for original works of art for special occasions like her birthday or christmas. She is awaiting her original commissioned matte stephens piece which was a very special birthday gift. It is never too young to start to collect art and who knows she might have a very valuable collection when she is older. I bought my first original painting when I was a teenager with money from my first part time job. It still hangs in my home and I will always treasure it.
