Calling All Artists

This is it, I'm at the final stage of turning my condo into a full blown home. I've filled it with all my crap, unpacked nearly every box, and run naked from room to room.

I have all the furniture I need, and all the appliances that are required. All that's left is some culture. Unfortunately when it comes to art I'm about as skilled as a monkey with a cell phone, but I do have one of the most kick ass resources to make this place look snazzy... My minions!

That's right, I'm calling out all the artists out there, painters, photographers, and yadda yadda. What I want is I want your stuff on my walls. I want to have one of your original works on my walls, a personal touch, as it were, to make the place more unique. I thought about just buying some prints and framing them, but I want to know the artist (and if you die it will be worth a fortune!).

So here's how this will work, I'm going to post pictures of my naked walls (not naked balls, calm down Jason) and let you pick which walls you would like your art on. When you decide let me know in the comments which wall you want and post the picture on your blog for me to see! Keep in mind I'm poor, so I can't spend too much on the painting, but if it's reasonable then it's good to go.



The Couch:

As you can see the wall is very naked, wanna play dress up?




The Entertainment Center:
Entertainment Center
a little bit of space, but it needs something eye catching.




The Dining Room:

Yeah, the mirror idea was really good in theory




The Mini Wall:

This is what you see when you first walk in.




Kitchen Wall:

I need something there to look at so it doesn't just look like a dead end.




My Art:
(these are painting I really like, to give you an idea)

My pool for zen skinny dipping

  • monkey- oh come now, i think it might work out, leaf through them, if you have one you think might work out post it. (i'd love to see regardless if it will be on my walls or not.)

  • Well sweetie, you know you can have anything of mine you want. I shoot at a high enough resolution that we can do poster size and frame it. Not that you strike me as a fan of butterflies and dragonflies or anything. :-)

    But first and most important... PAINT THOSE WALLS. Builders white is for renters. You are a home owner now. Give the place some personality. You don't have to paint your living room yellow but just choose a nice warm neutral color and paint the place. It will make a world of difference.

  • Digital. I can do digital. That's about it. Anything else I do not do anymore. Sorry!

  • Very interesting way to pursue artwork for your walls. I hope it works.

  • so i have nothing to offer you in the way of artwork, but i must say i do like your taste from what i see of the artwork you already own.

  • rebecca- my place is a lot like me, it has no real personality, so i'll just hang a bunch of stuff on the walls to lead people to think it does. hehehe

    QOA- digital will work, just remember to use high rez so i can toy with the size.

    monkey- um... can i see waht you have? (innuendo)

    mitzee- thanks, my taste is that of someone who likes things and stuff

    sk8rn- i figure it's pretty original and that it will give me the ability to strike a conversation about the painting and the artist.

    b.- i only own the black and white house/tree, the others are not mine.

  • mel- cool beans, just remember, think of me, think of the art i put up, then run with it.


    btw, i'd like to point out the irony that i suggested that people suggest paintings and i get suggestions to paint the walls.

    By Blogger exile, at Thursday, December 22, 2005 12:04:00 PM  

  • mel- i think i'll just leave the walls bare. or put up padding, clearly i'm not getting at art up there.

  • That last one gave me an idea to make a painting of a guy ripping his face off from the mouth out, but I don't have any canvas on me right now. Good artworks. It's exciting to have a new place to galavant in. I hope it transforms into a work of art made up of many lovely works of art.

  • truckdriver- thanks man, it's really comming together. thanks for the link, i'll check it out asap.

    roxy- i knew you wouldn't dissappoint. if you'd like to e-mail the pics i'd be more than happy to look them over, or if you want to post them on your blog that will work too. Dark and pornographic happen to be two of my favorite things, hehehe. i want something clever that i will acctually pause and stare at from time to time.

    sirbarrett- thanks man, you know, i was thinking my place could use more face ripping. hehehe. like i said, if you havesomething you'd like me to see post it on your blog and let me know (or e-mail it) and i'll totally check it out.
