I wish I had the kind of disposable income that allowed me to walk 
into my favorite galleries and buy the work that I love right off the 
walls, but let's get real, that's just not gonna happen anytime soon. So
 instead I will rely on the next best (affordable) thing: the internet.
Buying art on the internet has really improved in the last five 
years. You can now find quality work from great unknown artists who you 
may not have found otherwise as well as prints of well-known established
 faves. So go grab a cup of joe, take a seat and start browsing.
