The Art Of The Asian Robe

While cruising one of my favorite blogs I was drawn to this wall of art. Included with the other great art is a framed piece from one of my favorites artist's, Vorakorn Metmanorom. A Thai artist who works in a number of mediums, but my favorites are his block prints. I have been buying and selling these signed limited edition prints since I started The Loaded Trunk.

His work has been influenced by Buddhist teachings, nature and his Chinese ancestry. This Asian robe series is stunning and shows the signs of an artist who has truly mastered his craft.

Personal Wall of Art

All week I have been seeing new art categories added to a few of my favorite websites .  Apartment Therapy  has a great post showcasing hot artwork and display ideas. Recently my daughter and one of her cousins have had a Facebook posting war showing whose wall of art is bigger and better. Here are the contestants:

If you want to get some affordable art to begin or add to your wall here are some new additions from a wonderful artist from Chiang Mai, Thailand to watch for at The Loaded Trunk. Hitting flea markets, garage or tag sales are a great way to find frames for your newly acquired art work.
