Thru Orange Tinted Aviators




Despite everything my father taught me, I gravitate to modern art. Thus, discovering Pop Art Machine a day ago on my quest for images to express myself was like finding the big X from the treasure map. I already have a long list of favourites (the image above is just a sampling to whet your appetite). They have an Industrial Storage Container Series that I find irresistible, and their Postage Stamp Series misses being on my list by a smidge-they don't take it far enough. If they'd dare to take that extra step it'd be delicious. I find myself stocking up on their business men images they way some people collect Beanie Babies . [ insert gagging motion here]

There's hundreds to look at - don't miss the archive! I'm inspired now to "PopArtMachine" some of my family photos so I can fill a wall with loved one pics without feeling Traditional. My only complaint is that some people get so caught up in the experimental-ness of the art, they forget to have a point of view. But all the images are of excellent quality and free to download. So - no excuse for decorating with Ikea prints anymore!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
