I stumbled across Lora Zombie's art last week and became enamored with it. Her art is wildly unconventional and incredibly odd. I ordered two of her prints straight away even though I have no idea where I will put them in my world of over occupied walls. But when I ordered them I did not [...]

$7.48 – while supplies last!
I don't pretend to understand the diversity of folks' taste in items. I often see things for sale in catalogs that I cannot imagine anyone would ever spend good money on. I would even put down a bet that some of them are destined to be included in a 75% off sale. But what do [...]
