I have moved on to other desires. Like this reasonably priced recycled wool rug.

Is there such a thing as a wine sommelier but for art? Like, cheap art prints? I want that.
I don’t care about fancy art or owning an original whatever, I just need more ideas for things I like for decorating my house. Right now the only set of prints I have are Wookie the Chew prints which I like but I don’t want to be 100% of the art in our house. Another piece I saw when I was still in college was what looked like a painting of the Roman Senate but if you looked closer I think the Looney Toons were incorporated into the scene as if they were there too.
There’s a spot in our kitchen that would be great for a vertical … something. I even have a frame we got for free. I just cannot figure out what I want to put in it. Browsing on my own just feels too overwhelming.

Do you like high contrast that draws attention? Subtle art that fades to the background but lightens a space? What rooms do you recall standing out to you because of their use of art?
I love choosing art.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN JUST BUY CUSTOM MADE OXFORD SHOES? MADE IN EUROPE?
And they’re not even that expensive.

A new fridge. Also, a cast-iron griddle.

I wanted a new microwave for about 12 hours because ours died a “broken plastic linkage” death last night (see: sewing thread discussion of my opinion about critical parts made of plastic). But I added a microwave to my grocery pickup order and now we have one again. It’s smaller and weaker, but still fits all my casserole dishes so I can just nuke a little longer as needed. Plus slightly more counterspace!
It’s like living in the future or some shit (both the grocery pickup and the microwave, really, but I was thinking of the pickup order).

I’m interested to see what floats your boat.
I prefer black and whites in ink or photos.
Or if colour, watercolours.
Sometimes animals.

OK I put together a bunch of things from my computer wallpaper stash as a general starting point along with a couple other things so you can see what art we already have: https://imgur.com/a/hNoAmcN

The frog one reminds me of some food prints I’ve seen that are similarly done but with various ingredients. I’ve thought about getting one for our kitchen but then I can never find one I really like, I just scroll endlessly with “That’s nice … that’s nice too …”

You like images that evoke a sense of possibility. You want that feeling, not a specific visual style.
At least, that’s what I see. In terms of visuals you don’t like a lot of blank space, you like the image filled.

True. Actually the Wookie the Chew stuff I have has a lot more white space around the edges but usually I don’t have much white space.
I also realized putting that stuff together that I like art that is not just one thing - girl on a path but also the flowers are people, Star Wars+Winnie the Pooh, art but also a (partial) book, butterfly but also an eye. Like you glance at it and it’s pretty but then you can also spend more time looking at it to see more.

So you want art that’s as busy as Bosch or Dali, but less creepy?
What do you think of something that is more design and less narrative, like this?
(indigenous artist Christi Belcourt)
Or more like this?
(Palestinian artist Ismail Shammout)
Or silly and fun, like
(Patrick Ballestros)
I could do this all day.

“Less creepy” is hard to pin down. When I was in school we did a field trip to the Dali museum and I was just like “What, everything is melty. Meh.” while everyone else was creeped out. I’m okay with horror stuff but don’t want people who visit my house to be creeped out. Er, too creeped out anyway, dunno if the skull butterfly would be too much for people.
The first piece you posted is too busy for my tastes. For the second and third, I have a weird thing about not wanting faces in art (or photographs on the wall, I have one area I designated the “family and friends photographs” wall and other than that, no faces.) I do like the style of the second one and the fun of the third.
Thank you for being my art curator.

I like what you have going on here, it looks like a lot of photo manipulation prints, which are pretty rad.
I used to find a lot of these on DeviantArt, but honestly I think their platform is garbage. Do any of these tickle your fancy?

I like all of those. The deer one is getting saved in my Father’s Day wallpaper folder.
Ha, it just occurred to me to check how many files are in my Backgrounds folder, it claims to have 969 files in 37 subfolders.
