one small good thing

When we get rich — clearly just a matter of time — we will buy art. We will buy one of those intriguing photographs by Jenny Gage, of sun-struck, rootless California girls, and then hang it in our bedroom. We shall splurge for a super-glossy Takashi Murakami sculpture for the living room. We will take photos of the cat sunning itself on our new Murakami with our smart phones and then shoot them off to our friends. Jesus, this is going to be so much fun!

But until that time, we have to admit…our budget for buying original art is small. Okay, it is very, very small and we don’t really want to talk about exactly how small in a public forum, but let say it’s just small, ok? Still, $20 is a price everyone can agree on, especially if part of that $20 goes to charity. Every week Tiny Showcase puts a new limited edition print up for sale. Usually only 100 – 200 prints are produced and the best are always sold out within hours. The cost? Rarely more than $20. And a portion of the proceeds always goes to a charity of the artist’s choosing. Occasionally, Tiny Showcase will also surprise you by offering a sculpture of your favorite cheese, a t-shirt or a hand-crafted book. But mostly they do prints, and they do them very well. The one thing worth mentioning about these prints is that they are quite… tiny. Around 5″ by 6″. But whatevs, that way there will be plenty of room on your wall for that awesome Richard Misrach landscape. When you get rich.
