Outside of photographs of family/friends, none

Also for the bonus round where do you shop for pieces?

My Aunt is a photographer, and I have some of her pieces that are my favorites. I have a Love is Art canvas over our bed. Then the usual family/friend photographs, and some diving photographs.

I have a coworker who is an artist, and I'm asking her to paint something for our dining room. Then there are a few artists I have found online that I really like their work, so I might get something from them.

I'm a fan of this guy's work, and when we get some more money, I'll buy one of his pieces: http://afremov.com/shop.php?parent_id=355&name=leonid-afremov&user_id=100001&limit=10&item_type=all

And I saw this couple's work at an art show in Milwaukee and I'd really like to buy something (but they're pretty pricey). http://www.lemyreart.com/Lemyre_Art/Home.html

I want pieces that mean something to me, or are more unique. I don't want my house to look like it came from a Kirkland's catalog.

I have a print of Picasso's Hands with Bouquet and Steinlen's Le Chat Noir.

I also have prints of various Audrey Hepburn movie posters--America's Breakfast at Tiffany's & Sabrina, the Italian poster for Roman Holiday and the French for Funny Face. Only Breakfast at Tiffany's is hanging up though.

I have a Hawaiian artist's watercolor of bamboo that my parents got me on their trip.
I also have a watercolor portrait of myself done by my art teacher in Italy. I'm in rennaissance attire.

I want more art in general, and hope to add a piece or two here and there over our years.

My mother is an 'artist,' I have several of her works in our house. I have several paintings that are 100+ years old that were done by my grandmother's aunt, a painting by a friend, and a linoleum block print of my own also hanging in the house. I have art pretty much in every room in the house. I've never had to buy a piece.

I have a bunch of Hurricanes stuff in the loft, random paintings from Haiti scattered across the house, a few Van Gogh replicas, misc pieces I got in Mexico, a black and white pic of Bellagio, a panoramic pic of Vegas, a painting of a martini glass, an abstract print, that double globe one you see everywhere, map of civil war battles, dogs playing poker, landscape painting, and misc cheap shit I've gotten over the years which matched the rooms which were empty at the time

I like to collect prints from all the special exhibits and museums I've been to. So my walls are covered in prints mainly from NCMA like the Monet in Normany exhibit I helped with when I was an intern there, the Picasco exhibit from the NCMA, and a print from the recent Van Gogh Up Close exhibit at the Phila Art Museum, and then I have a bunch of prints from The Louvre, MOMA, the Tate, etc

I badly want some Fred Jamar in my house. Once I get my savings to where I want it to be, I think I might get a big piece for my den. He does Charleston paintings like this:

^^ does he sell prints? The prices for his originals are $$$$. Honestly, what he's doing isn't technically sophisticated, I'd probably just pay someone to make a knockoff if you just really like the style.... assuming you're morally OK with such a thing.

I've got some prints that i've had for years:
nu de mas ii by Alain Dumas

Secret by Cam de Leon


Tunnel Vision by Cam de Leon


This interactive sculpture by Cam de Leon


I have a few large, random giclee prints on canvas that I don't have pictures of.

my roommate has a large Alex Grey print in our hallway

He has a painting he got in paris from a guy on the street. He's also got some photos hanging up, and some water colors here and there. He's got a few random sculptures/statures around the house.

There are a couple of my own pieces of art around the house. This is a light box which I can change the images out on, but I haven't made any more images for it so this one is what's always on it.




On my radar:
Eric Fortune
Jeremy Geddes
Dave Kinsey
Craola Simkins
James Jean
Audrey Kawaski
Oliver Vernon
Brandi Milne

I also like Glen Denny's Yosemite-in-the-60s photographs. Might get a print soon:

Some prints and drawings by no-name types of certain charleston buildings, some wolf drawings, and a couple photos of family/us. Have a very large artsy photo of an old magnolia tree, but it has yet to be framed and hung.

Our house is full of my Fiance's work, since she is currently on hiatus professionally and so doesn't have a huge studio to store her work. If anyone's interested, shoot me a PM

We have this Jenn Hales print on our wall. In the future, we'll probably buy another of her prints if not an actual piece. She has a brick and mortar shop down in the market street area.



I've always liked thisExploding Dog print, but I like really whimsical stuff.

I recently bought something stupid from Homegoods, but it's not worth finding a picture of : /

Is there anywhere in town to get paintings/whatever to hang that isn't $300+?

You can often get stuff from local artists cheaper than that. Still gonna be three figures; people gotta eat.
