Life has been kinda busy- you know, with having to read the whole Hunger Games series on top of real life commitments! So this week will be an easy peasy little project! Good news is- it will be easy peasy for you guys too, if you plan to make your own!!
Back when Z had a real office, ahem- before the living in the condo-ness- I had a bunch of black frames up in there. Since then, they've lived in a box in storage. When I saw this subway art on the Restoration Hardware site I knew my frame was a dead ringer for theirs! Perfect!
Well, almost perfect, see theirs is ginormous. Like 8 feet tall or something. So, I guess mine is the "mini-me" version of their awesomeness!
Buuut, mine was almost free since I had the frame on-hand. Even new it was less than 10 bucks at Walmart {of all places} The subway art print cost me 10 cents {seriously, 10 cents!} to print up at Staples. Just tell'em you want an engineering print. They can print just about any size you'd like!
HOW TO: I used the background for my one of my other knock offs,
for Z Gallerie subway art. In that post you can see how, using
Microsoft Publisher, I make the background look like it has some dimension. Then
you pick a few fonts and add the names. E. Z.
I made mine an homage to Boston. I grew up in the suburbs there, and
I'll always love that area! This one took almost
no time at all- super doable project. By using a little creativity with Word you could
make an exact duplicate- if you wanted to!
What do you guys think? Not too shabby for a 10 minute project, no? Beside, I hadn't made myself any "art" in awhile- and it felt good to get back in the saddle. Thanks for reading!
