Art Snob?
Me? Not so much! Except I’m not a fan of “artwork” that you can buy at department stores. I’d rather paint something myself or even hang my daughter’s artwork or hang postcards or photos, ok really anything but department store art. Art.com is a great place for affordable art for your home. This is where I’m totally not an art … Continue reading

A Local Favorite Artist
Kyle Ragsdale is one of my favorite local (Indianapolis) artist. I think his work is beyond incredible. His website explains his work perfectly. His artwork is left up for interpretation and also appear to be like something from a dream. His work is influence by many cool people and things, like Bjork, Radiohead, 60s textiles and one of my favorites … Continue reading
Entomology As Art
Entomology is the study of insects. I am not a bug lover like most girls out there but I love entomology illustrations and artwork. When I went to the Indianapolis Home Show a few weeks ago, I noticed some butterflies and insects scattered throughout the house. (Blurry iphone sorry!)
