Decorating in Style: Superheros Prints From Ivan Camelo



If a man's home is his castle, then his child's room is his artistic canvas. Wife willing, this is a great place for you to make a statement about yourself and start to influence the little one's eventual style. When it comes to decorating your child's room, one of the things I advocate is to go against the norm. If you can buy it off a shelf, then what is that saying about your style? Aren't you just teaching your little one to get on the conveyor belt of consumerism and become just another one of the overpriced coffee clutching, smartphone staring, petty conversation having, eyes glazed over "sheeple" that you pity on the way to work every day? This why I like to find unique ways to decorate and put a different spin on the norm. An easy way to do that is to support one of the many talented artists you can find on the web. Of my favorite sites to find artists is Geek-Art.net. Here you can find thousands of artists that have a talent of taking the mundane that you have come to know and putting a cool spin on it. One of my favorite recent finds is Ivan Camelo.

He recently rifted on DC and Marvel superheros. Here are a couple of examples:



The great thing is that if you like his work, you can purchase it at a pretty reasonable price, or even download it for free (but I would make sure you reach out to Ivan and make sure he is cool with that). Just think about the things you could do once you have established your artwork — the cool color combinations, the integration of neat0 toys, oooh and don't forget the bedding and window treatments...my inner Martha Stewart is moist with the multitude of options.

There are literally thousands of artists out there that are doing amazing work. We will continue to post about some of our favorites, but make sure you let us know if you find somebody that you like.
