"Waterfall" Print ($30)



Via Dooce. I would kill, or at least be willing to trip someone on an escalator, to own the original of this print. But I'd be pretty happy just to own the print, too. Photo embiggened so you can see all the wonderfulness. By Jon Klassen, from Nucleus.

Ceramic Polaroid Camera ($60)

Polaroids started out as a democratic toy to make photography more accessible to everyone, and like a lot of democratic design (think everything modernist ever), they eventually ascended to high art. And now the film is discontinued. Sad! You can still declare your Polaroid love, though, with this lovely hand-cast sculpture from Yellow Owl Workshop.

"Bad Unicorn" Print ($30)


This wonderfully puzzling monster is available as a very affordable print. I think this would be great in a children's bedroom, but this may just be my sick sense of humor. YMMV. By Chris Appelhans, at Gallery Nucleus.

Mad talented artist Nikki McClure has her 2009 calendar out. If you want one, buy early—I've seen them get hard to find. From Rare Device.

"Catch Me If You Can" Rat Silhouette Art Plates ($275)


This is not for everyone, obviously. There is the price. Then there is the fact that we are dealing with ratty (literally) plates, which may make one person sigh "sublime" and another person yell "eek." But for me, there is something wonderful about these somewhat tubby and inelegant rats racing across dainty china like scruffy thoroughbreds. YMMV. From Bailey Doesn't Bark.

Limited Edition Handmade Bird Art Tile Set ($60)



They have notches on the back to hang, but wouldn't they also be insanely beautiful actually used as tile? Accent pieces in a backsplash or something. Anyway, only two sets left, buy fast. Originally $90/set. From Modish Handmade Goods.
