Great Art Online: Rowan Morrison
While Rowan Morrison, a gallery in Oakland, Calif., owned and operated by artists Pete and Narangkar Glover, may be tiny in proportions, it is gigantic in artistic scope. A contemporary art gallery and art bookstore, it specializes in fine art books, small-edition prints, unique paper goods, and self-published zines. They also publish Rowan Morrison editions of art books, prints, and original paper goods.
Great Art Online: Tree Factory by Amy Ruppel
Every month, the good folks over at Reform School work one on one with some of their favorite artists in a collaboration called "Student of the Month." This collaboration features work from talented artists and designers and offers new and limited-edition goods from an ever-changing list of artists.
One recent offering is Tree Factory by Amy Ruppel ($35.00).
Give the Gift of Art: Polly, by Christina Muraczewski
I love this bird print from Jen Bekman's 20x200 gallery. An archival pigment print, Polly, by Christina Muraczewski ($20), was originally created with acrylic marker and glitter on canvas. While the print itself is perfect for the holidays (there's just something so cozy and wintry about birds in branches), this would look lovely all year round with a thoughtful matting and frame.
CasaSugar Giveaway: Yee-Haw's Art Prints
Earlier today, I told you about the beautiful letterpress art from Yee-Haw Industries. And now I'm giving you a chance to win some of their creations!
Yee-Haw has given me a set of their "Flowering Trees of Appalachia" series, which includes hand-carved wood cuts of Dogwood, Magnolia, Paw Paw and Redbud trees.
Great Art Online: Yee-Haw Industries
Yee-Haw Industries was established by partners Kevin Bradley & Julie Belcher, who opened up shop from a back-40 barn in Corbin, Kentucky, with salvaged, antique equipment. Their vibrant, folk art, wood cut prints of country music's classic stars, such as Hank Williams, Dr. and Loretta Lynn, caught eyes and told stories. Soon, modern music acts, including Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, and Southern Culture on the Skids began commissioning promotional posters and album art.

Great Art Online: 20x200
Getting your art collection started is often limited by your pocketbook. The only way I could afford my first large art purchase was because I bartered an artist friend for it. So what to do if you're art-friend-free and low on the benjamins?

Casa Interview: The Good Wife's Stephen Hendrickson and Beth Kushnick
As I've mentioned in the past, I'm a huge fan of the new CBS series The Good Wife. In particular, I adore Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) apartment. With classic styling and great use of color, it's definitely a look I'm currently coveting.
