    Affordable Framed Art - Thomas Kinkade, Munoz and More

    Posted March 26, 2008 by michelle
    Found in: Arts & Crafts, Home Decor

    In the quest to decorate my home fabulously, I have been thinking of investing in some fine art to adorn my barren walls. Been shopping around for some nice art pieces from fledging artists, I don’t know why they call them “starving artists” because for the price of some of their pieces they should be filthy rich.

    Consequently, I have now humbled myself to search for quality prints from major artists. I know I may not have an “original” on my walls but beggars who can barely pay their mortgage shouldn’t be choosers, right?

    Here are some lovely finds:

    Joe Bravo’s Tortilla Art

    Posted August 9, 2007 by valentina
    Found in: Arts & Crafts, News

    Would you hang a tortilla on your wall? Well you might if it’s been transformed into art by Joe Bravo, who’s banked over $3,000 for some of his tortilla paintings. Using the essential ingredient of burritos as his canvas, the Los Angeles-based artist who has worked as an art director for Lowrider Magazine and the American Golf Corporation (that’s quit a mix), has gained fame for his intricate works, which, he says, contain “imagery that is representative of Latinos, conveying their hopes, art, beliefs and history.”

    On his website, Bravo explains that the process of choosing the right tortilla and preparing it for acrylic paint is just as important as the actual art.  He also explains a bit about the drying and framing processes as well.

    Bravo has gained international fame for his art, and for one of his latest series he’s made a cultural leap, depicting images prevalent in Asian culture, including Chinese opera masks, images of panda bears, Anime and dragons. These pieces will be exhibited in Hong Kong this month, where the artist has been invited to show his work.

    Read more about Joe Bravo and see his work at his official website.
