**An online store bringing together a community of artists.**
An online store where artists can sell their limited edition prints, jewelry, t-shirts, tote bags, accessories and other one of kind items. The store started out as a place where I could sell things I made to help support me while I focus on painting. Then I started selling my friends art as well and then they had friends and so on. Now its a community of friends of friends of all over coming together by making art and having it available to the public on little paper planes. I feel honored to get to help sell all the amazing pieces these artists make.

Robyn O'Neil 3 days ago
I am loving Robyn O'Neil's drawings. There is something so lonely about the work like they are drawings of the end of the world or something. They are rendered so beautifully. She is currently showing work at the American Folk Art Museum in NYC. The show is called, DARGERISM: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND HENRY DARGER, which features Amy Cutler, Henry Darger, Jefferson Friedman, Anthony Goicolea, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Yun-Fei Ji, Justine Kurland, Justin Lieberman, Robyn O'Neil, Grayson Perry, Paula Rego, and Michael St. John. The show is basically about the influence of Henry Darger on contemporary art.
It will be up through September.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Happy new year! Feel free to download my music!
