[COOL SHIT] Image Kind

Ok, so there are some seriously killer resources out there these days for cheap, chic art (20x200 and etsy immediately come to mind), but I recently discovered another online option that I'm kind of loving the shit out of: Image Kind.

Image Kind is from the folks at Cafe Press, and basically allows any artist to upload their work and sell it at different sizes, with different framing options. You get to choose the type of paper its printed on, can order mattes, custom frames, OR just get a print.

Now word of warning: you'll get to the front page and you will probably see a bunch of stuff you'd expect to see framed in the home goods section of Marshalls. But keep pressing on!

[COOL SHIT] Noisy Dog Studio Pet Portraits

So, duh: there are like a bajillion and one pet portrait artists out there these days. And I'm sure loads of them are super talented and paint pretty pictures of all your puppies-n-shit, but my favorite, favorite-ist, very fave-y pet portrait artist that I've come across through the years is Leigh from Noisy Dog Studio, and she's having a gigantic sale right now!

Leigh has been featured all over the place, from Design Sponge to Domino Magazine (cue tear to slowly roll down my cheek, I miss you Domino!), and trust me: her shit RULEZ. I'm lucky enough to have had Leigh paint a portrait of Oliver and if our apt caught on fire, this is like one of the first things I'd grab.
