Those watercolors are ace man.

Also Spencer Little's stuff is awesome. I saw a couple of his large pieces in Long Beach this summer.

Daniel Danger - And I'll only feel smaller and smaller (Large Format Edition)

This is the only print on the list but I had been on the hunt for years and the story itself ranks extremely high for me. I ended up flying down to LA, renting a van and driving out a business park in Orange County. Paid the balance in cash and then drove it back north to SF. A wild ass adventure and totally worth it.

you've had a great year mate. Lovely pick ups.

I've only made four purchases this year, so they all make my list.

to get jerked off



it's to share mate, people like doing that and discussing art on an art forum. And it can be a good way to discover new artists.

Why do people go to museums?
Why do people look at Instagram?
Why are YOU on this thread? Why are YOU on this forum?
It is quite depressing to buy art and then hide it away. I hang quite a few original pieces in my office at work so that I can easily share them with others. And I very much enjoy seeing the art that others choose to collect. I have dreamed about buying an art gallery, not to sell or make money from art, but to share what I have collected and to talk with others about my passion. Sad isn’t it that I own almost 140 original works and I am the only one that sees most of them on a daily basis. Looking at a jpeg isn’t the same as seeing a painting or sculpture or photograph in the flesh, but it will have to suffice.
