A Good Investment?

An alleged work by British graffiti artist known as Banksy is up for auction on ebay. The opening bid is $75,000, yet nobody has posted a bid. Why? Well, his work can be very difficult to authenticate. After reading about the work and what is going on with the entire piece, I feel that it is a risky investment. If it turns out to be an original, providing the owner has enough information to support its authenticity, one could make some money. Check out more about the story of the Packard Plant graffiti and maybe you will want to place a bid on ebay.

Woodcut Printmaker

At the Ann Arbor Art Fair I was able to find a variety of artists that appealed to my interest. One artist is a woodcut printmaker by the name of Nick Wroblewski. It was hard to walk out of his booth with only one print. Check out his site and technique! The printmaking process is something that the art department explores each year in a number of different ways.
