Collecting

Speaking of collecting affordable art, Bad at Sports has ten reasons why you should start collecting art when you're young. Of course, they're talking about bonafide original art (and not $20 prints) but I think it can go both ways.

Here's an excerpt:

10. Buying artwork is exhilarating, especially when you buy something that’s a little pricier than you can afford but you can’t help yourself. Try it. See what I mean? And even if you’re buying a $25 drawing and tacking it over your night stand, buying art makes you feel like a grownup who cares about the beauty of your surroundings.

Read the rest here.
