Looking for cheap wall art ideas? Where can I get canvas prints or some other kind of wall art for a good price.

Best display Walls for art fairs for cheap? I'm trying to find lightweight easy to assemble boards for a 10' x 10' space for art fairs. I've seen cubicle walls but those are very heavy. I've also seen professional display boards and those are very expensive. The best thing I've seen are metal framework sorts of things that I am not sure what exactly you would call. Does anyone have any suggestions of a website where these could be found for a reasonable price? Or even what the metal ones might be called? Also, I am NOT referring to a tent, I need something to support the weight of the art work. Thanks!

what is some good looking album art to display on my living room wall? Where can I get prints cheap? I have a beige/earthtone livingroom wall that I would like to put Vinyl Album art on. I'm trying to come up with art that would match that color scheme. Some examples I have come up with are dark yellows, earth browns, and greens. Dylan's - the times they are a changing, The Who By Numbers, Manchester Orchestra - You Mean Everything To Nothing, The Detroit Cobras-Original Sounds, Black Joe Lewis- Tell em What Your Name Is, and My Chemical Romance-I gave you bullets, you gave me your love. Those are all albums in the color scheme Im looking for. Sorry I couldnt describe it better, Im not very art oriented. Also, I really don't need the actual vinyl, and they all range 20-40 $US on ebay. Any clues on where I can get prints or just sleeves cheaper?
Does anyone have ideas about decorating a medical office cheap? I an trying to decorate and organize our office! It so looks like a clinic! Spending this much time at a job I feel it should look nice and relaxing! But if I do it, I need to be real crafty and bot spend much! I am thinking a pretty faux waincoating in hall and rooms(painted), but the door moldings are metal like, so the prettty chair rails will not look right.

I am also looking to make cheap wall art that maybe pertains to the medical field in a pretty way! Any ideas or pics? Plz feel free to email too, or if u know a good site!!! Thanks in advance

Acrylic Paint on Bamboo to Create Wall Art? Any Help or Ideas Appreciated!? I bought a few bamboo beach mats (cheap!) and was thinking of painting (acrylic) designs or stripes on them to create some wall art. Nothing very fancy, just something to take up space and add color to a blank wall! My question ... I don't exactly know how to do this ... should I prime the mats before I paint? What type paint is best ... I have both artist's and craft acrylics ... the area is pretty large, so would craft paint be OK? (I'd hate like heck to waste good-quality paint on this if it doesn't work!) How to finish it ... varnish? I want to hang it in a bathroom, eventually ... what finish (or product) would protect the painting? The bathroom is well-ventilated, but I want something that will stand up to the humidity. I would greatly appreciate any ideas ... thank you! Thanks, everyone. I found a clear primer at the craft store, I think it's going to work perfectly. I WILL scuff the bamboo a bit with sandpaper ... didn't think of that! Great suggestion! I think I will use stain around the perimeter of the design to keep the woodgrain, and dilute the acrylic for the painting so the wood shows through a bit. I want a kinda weathered, uneven look to it when it's finished. You all gave me great suggestions ... now how do I choose the best one?

I live in Riverside CA I need an Art Studio-Cheap!? ASAP!? I'm a free lance artist and wall faux finnisher. 3 years ago I was booted from my old studio because of the actions of a "used to be" friend!

I've been published, won awards, and, when I can paint, I have no trouble selling them. Thanks

I need some cheap ideas for wall decorations.? I moved into a new apt. about a year ago and coming straight out of college I was pretty much was starting from scratch as far as home furnishings. In the past year I've pretty much filled my new apt. with all the furntiure I need but the walls are still really bare. I need some ideas that don't cost alot of money that I can make myself, as a little art project. I want something creative. I'm fairly artistic and I've always been able to draw well. I love a good challenge when it comes to making stuff myself so i'm open to any suggestions. My only stipulation is that I want detailed suggestions, nothing like, "well paint a picture than". I need inspiration because I'm really not very creative. Links with pictures would be very helpful if you are borrowing an idea or inspiration. On a side note, I'd say my style is very modern/contemporary. I like clean lines, dark woods, and abstract art. As an example most of my furniture is from crate and barrel, cb2, pier 1, and west elm
