As the daughter of two freelance artists and as a writer myself, I've always felt that owning art is not a luxury, but a necessity. I bought my first piece of art at 9 (it was $90 and my parents paid for half), and it's hung in my bedroom ever since.
I'm starting to think about decorating my new place for the coming school year. Seeing as my whole buy-everything-at-Ikea plan was shot down by this article, I've decided instead to personalize the stark white walls with pieces from a few artists I've come to really like.
Mohawk Fashion Illustration Print by Kathryn Elyse Rodgers of Paper Fashion. If you don't read this blog already, you absolutely should -- I spend time every day just staring at each new post.
'Overheard on the Titanic' by Austin Kleon. I love this entire series for the way it marries poetry and visual art to create something that is at once delicate and powerful.
'Paper Sculpture' by Kelsey Olson of MCAD. Okay, so maybe it's a little much for a dorm room, but doesn't it look cozy?
