Why Surrounding Yourself With Art Matters -- And How To Do It

3. I'm not so sure about that.

During Covid we get to see inside a lot of people's homes and what I see is a painting hanging on a wall because it matches the furniture and decor. I think some decorators do this sort of thing and it bugs me.

While I was in art school I had my friends illustrate and sign my jeans with a Sharpie...all original, wearable artwork. I hung them on my wall about 10 years ago but the sunlight started to fade the art so I put them away to preserve them (40 years old jeans).

About 10 years ago I got a 5 pound lobster and saved most of its shell still intact. I made it into a piece of art/sculpture and hung it in my kitchen. It is a favorite. I also have made a piece of about 400 floating pens from all over the world that I've collected since 1981. Everyone loves that one since you can take the pens off and play with them. When I die that is the only thing of mine that anyone wants.
