here’s a site i’ve stumbled upon. it’s called trunkt, the buyer’s guide to independent  art + design.  according to the site:
Trunkt is an innovative art and design collective made up of talented painters, graphic designers, fashion accessories, apparel and home accents designers plus other creative entrepreneurs that make a living from their artistic skills.

Our mission is to champion independent designers and small retailers to mainstream shoppers and to keep mass-market merchandise and big-box retailers from overwhelming the globe.

whether you are an artist, designer, online shopowner or just shopper, you can create a free profile.

some goodies you can find on trunkt…

little put pendant, $11; little put books, $12; paper goods all by littleputbooks on trunkt

love-tree bag, $52; forest leaf wristlet, $30; snotty bird bag, $30 all from forestprint designs on trunkt 

art prints: blueberries, $20; autumn, $20; sally sailor (my favorite), $20 all from terese bast on trunkt. i’m especially glad i found this here since i am always interested in discovering artists whose work i can really admire and appreciate. i’ll have to start an artist list link or something.
