next time you’re at an art exhibit and you see a dateable hottie, don’t ask what their sign is. msn just ripped on that pick up line as the cheesiest of all time. instead, buy them a drink, or at least talk about the one on the wall. today whilst out shopping, i came upon a bevvy of cocktail art for sale in ARTSEE, an eyeglass shop of all places. it was in NYC’s meat packing district, so anything goes. after all, they were literally wheeling whole carcases of pigs across the street. oh you thought the meat packing district was just an old phrase leftover from days gone by? no. buried in amongst the art gallery eyeglass shop, alexander mcqueen, stella mccartney, la perla, diane von fostenberg and a bunch of other top design houses, lie several very operational meat packing facilities. just in case you wanna grab a fresh side of cow on the way home from picking up this season’s balenciaga bag from jeffreys. thankfully though, after stumbling on this wonderful collection of one-of-a-kind upcycled collages, i soon forgot about the unlucky pigs across the street. each framed piece is made with vintage wallpaper from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. except for the plaid, which is last season’s ralph lauren. but hurry, the next art exhibit moves in this monday, making this sunday (oct. 30th) is your last day to snap one of these adorable masterpieces up.

prices start at $400. to purchase, contact the artist, TIM GROEN.
