So for the last month +/- erin and I have been waxing poetic on all sorts of home goodness, but we have failed to mention a single thing to do with your walls. If you’ve got a craigslist budget but are hoping to pass on the 1920s french restaurant posters you may want to check out Tiny Showcase. Each 100 – 200 print run features work from up-and-coming artists and is priced to move. I’m talking like $20 a print, people. One new print is released each tuesday. As the site becomes more popular the runs sell out quickly, which means old fans like myself just don’t buy as many pieces anymore. Sorry, after 3 years, I still forget to stay in on Tuesdays.
Here are some of my favorites, and some of the ones I own:
clockwise from top left:
“Island” Nathan Abels
“Lucky” 1911
“On the Lounge” Marci Washington (possibly my fave tiny showcase artist)
Untitled, Julie Morstad
more from Marci Washington:
“the coming of darkness” and “the cannibal in his chamber” marci washington
2 of the prints I own, both by Jacob Goble: “here it comes” and “we are in trouble”
“poolside” leah giberson
“freestyle friends” matthew furie
another print I own, I’m loving his cross sections. ”weaving” by Josh Keyes. My other favorite showcase artist.
On a side note, i once sent the tiny showcase dudes an email with the title of this post as the subject and, believe it or not, they never wrote back! Do you think they’ve heard it a hundred times, or do you think it’s the funniest thing ever? Discuss.

Maybe they’re a little concerned about being associated with Elton John… I know I would be.
i don’t know why elton gets such a bad wrap?! People love to make a big fuss about not liking him, and by people I mean my husband and by big fuss I mean adult temper tantrum.
If I had to guess as to why they never wrote back, I would say it is probably because they are totally obsessed with Elton John, owning every album through the 1983 masterpiece Too Low For Zero on both CD and Vinyl, and his music has consumed their lives and rotted their brains. I bet the owner dude is listening to Madman Across the Water at top volume at this very minute.
Well at least he’s not rocking out to “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues.” That would be *really* embarrassing.
