Art Attack!

[jmcev]

Nope sorry, that's a misleading title, topic doesn't really have anything to do with that awesome show.

However, does anyone know of any sites that have cheap art work? Preferably paintings/canvases from amateur artists selling for cheap, and by cheap i mean under $50.

Just looking to add some interesting aspects to mine and my housemates rooms.

you'll only be able to get something fairly small, artists can pay upwards of $50 just for the materials to do a painting.

http://www.deviantart.com is probably your best bet.

Have you tired looking in second hand shops "jmcev" or going to swap marts.

[MuscularTeeth]

possibly ETSY might have some hand crafted/painted/drawn art that MIGHT be cheap.

you can get a range of prints from sites like zazzle, redbubble, cafepress and so on that can be under $50 per print.

what sort of artwork are you after?
traditional sort of painting? charcoals? some sorta modern graphic design art?

send me a private message, im an artist (cough wheeze. waits for the laughing to stop), i have TONNES of the stuff i can send you some pics/websites

or even the salvation army places have prints and artwork sometimes on the cheap.

I'm friends with that guy on facebook... I bet you're all jealous.
He always posts about his **** metal band though.

That Zazzle site has some pretty awesome stuff, thanks!

You could search for local artists, here's one that was posted on r/brisbane: http://www.colinmerrill.com/profile.html

If you're interested in 3d stuff there is http://www.shapeways.com/ which sells 3d prints of CG models, which is pretty cool. Not the cheapest though.

Thailand??

I just got back and managed to pick up a nice canvas. Now need to get it framed in something tomorrow. Paid around $50-$60AUS



Little shinny down the bottom in the photo due to the lights in my room but you get the idea

[MuscularTeeth]

how did you go?

[jmcev]

Im in Cairns for uni atm, when i return, i shall upload a picture of my room

Ended up getting a design exploded at office works to A1, then laminated - $45 all up.
Then i went to a framing place, Doo Town, and chose the cheapest from possible, ended up at $99. so roughly $150 all up, which isn't too bad considering i got what i wanted. next time i wont get the picture laminated, to have more clarity and less glare after framing. still looks cool though. stay tuned...
