I have to disagree with Tipsy. A print/copy-"Nothin' wrong with that either, it's just not for me" You would rather go without then have something you like.

I try to buy original works whenever possible...being an artist myself I have a certain reverence and appreciation for original works. I have seen many prints that I liked over the years but 1) I don't have the wall space to accomodate an army of prints and 2) it is aesthetically more importantto me to save my $ for one original piece than to have 20 various prints....

A tiki mug is the same thing as a painted print. I can't believe that you wouldn't buy a tiki mug from Munktiki just because its a print. A copy of the original sculpture.

not only is this statement loaded like a babies diaper, but full of the same contents...you are confusing apples and oranges for one thing..for another, there's no such thing as a painted print(unless an artist actually paints on the print afterward, which I doubt is what you meant)..either it's a painting, or it's a print...

and do you have many original painted works on your wall?

...95% of my art collection is all original art..

More art in everyone's life is a good thing. PLus think of it this way, most everything in anyones house is a copy and if it does have hands-on, its still probably been done before and not "original".
...maybe in your house...we are not talking about mass produced items here...how the discussion went from original art to home furnishings I don't understand....
