I Bought Original Art Finally





It has been years and years and years since I first told myself I was going to buy myself a piece of original art. Well now I will have three small pieces. The artist is Karen Wilcox,www.karenwilcox-studio.com , I honestly love every piece that she has on the website and they were even better in person. I usually don't connect that strongly with any artist. The pieces are 7"x5" and framed. They cost me $100 a piece and I could not be happier. No buyers regret, and they can only go up in value in my opinion. I mean she has shown in New York and has shows in galleries all the time! I better remember the names of the paintings :) Maybe I will write them on the back or something, and if she does not sign things usually I will have her sign the back too. Like I would sell them, but it's always nice to know you have something that will increase in value the longer you don't sell it :) This really off-sets my not so wonderful feelings about deal with things in Chicago and so off I go! And here are pictures of the paintings. The first one is "Allysa", the second is "Tatayan" and the third is "Scarf." I hope some of you get to see them in person some day. Thanks to Ron for wanting to go to the First Thursday event at the Northrup Buidling, and thanks to Victor for driving!

Come to London. You will want to make a few heists in Tate Britain or Modern! I always want some big art piece, but dont know how to get it home. Nice picks (pics, haha, get it? its like a pun!) though.

Thanks buddy! Does it look like you are going to be in the U.K. longer than you think? I have a friend who is living there now. His job transfered him there.
