Postcards As Art

There are many sites out there claiming to sell affordable art. There's Thumbtackpress, Etsy.com, Artasap, etc. But there is nothing cheaper, in my eyes, than a 50cent postcard. Stick a pretty postcard in a frame and voila! Insta-art. Plus, they each tell a story if you get into collecting. It's sort of like sending yourself a postcard from a vacation or time in your life. My sister bought me the orange Standard gas station from the MoMa store her last trip to Nyc. (thanks!) I bought these 3 at a cute little bookshop on an impromptu trip to Boston during the coldest weekend of the winter. The 2 on the far left live above my toilet in the bathroom.1960s postcards from Puerto Rico, where my postcard collecting began. I bought these cheap at a vintage furniture store I used to work at in the East Village, Whitetrash.
