What's more intimidating than a big empty wall? The endless options of photographs, drawings, screenprints and shadowboxes out there. We're making it a little easier by zeroing in on our favorites.For someone who's always on the hunt for, well, everything for the home, I've been eyeing the colorfully illustrated wall posters from 1200 Posters for a while now.
Here's their story: A small group of like-minded friends got together last year and came up with the idea of launching a yearlong art series as a way to promote collaborations within the creative community. They asked 12 budding artists to each create one wall poster based on a quote taken from the essay "Turning to One Another" by the author Margaret Wheatley. And since November, one whimsical print (with a limited-edition of 100) has been released each month on the 12th--hence 1200 posters in a year.
If you look closely, you can see the phrases that inspired each print. Two of our favorites are "Expect to be surprised" and "Treasure curiosity more than certainty." They definitely deliver a more charming feel-good message than those (un)motivational wall posters with a quote and a picture of some random body of water, don't you think?
All the prints are 13" x 19" and only cost $25 each. Check them out at 1200posters.com to see which one you want for your wall, and stay tuned for new ones in the remaining months!
