Is this a new author I see? Nice article. Don’t be afraid to use some humor though. We don’t bite.
There are some great stuff to be found on Etsy too. Wish you could do a piece on that.
Great post!
Looks like the first article I wrote for Dappered was in 2009, so…newish?
See… there’s the humor.
All good Sean, Ben’s the best (but don’t tell him that, he’ll ask for a raise.) Some would say there are those of us here (me) who sometimes don’t take things seriously enough. And trust me, Ben isn’t one to take things too seriously either. But sometimes it’s great to get to the point.
I could really use a quality image of our pale blue dot on my wall.
20 x 200 is a great site. Gives the average Joe (no pun intended) access to high quality art. And up and coming artists access to consumers. Good stuff, Ben.
I’d spend a little more and get an original. don’t forget student work at your local college/university.
Great post! I just bought the “Old Typewriter” by Todd Mclellan for the my wifes birthday in 3 weeks(hopefully I’ll have it by then). There are several artist in downtown Phoenix.. and while I would prefer to buy local, this was a great deal and I know its something she’ll love.
I prefer stuff like this.

Great post for a change of pace. Is conventional wisdom to buy the print separate already framed or to buy the frame separately and frame it yourself?
My bad, i just assumed Joe wrote all of this stuff and just today looked at the authors. Kinda embarrassing, but it happens.
The reason those frames are so plain is because they are more likely to ‘go’ with any room. Buying prints alone allows for more creativity, though I prefer understated framing. Framing is an art unto itself. You can also consider mounting
Alternative to buying photographic prints in the typical way is to head down to your municipal/state/etc. archives, find some local historic photographs or negatives, and get some of those produced as prints. You may find something truly unique and they serve as a good conversation piece.
No sweat, usually only editors and mothers read bylines.
All nice, however I just purchased a print from another site, ArtFizz, they are fresh and bring a quite new touch. Check it out at art-fizz.com
