Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
In my recent trip into the West, I found this International Adoption artifact in a Goodwill in West Texas not far from the Oklahoma border.
KOREAN GUYS AND DOLLS … sorry, BILLY JAMES HARGIS’ KOREAN GUYS AND DOLLS… is not a restaging of the musical, but a collection of Korean folk songs on side one and popular American patriotic church music (“O, Beautiful,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic”) on side two. They are all sung by an angelic choir of Korean orphans from the 14 Christian Crusade orphanages in Korea.
Who are, of course, in need of sponsors for continued support. And available for adoption by “some of our American friends.”
How great thou art.
Apparently, this album came out in conjunction with a 1973 tour of the United States.
Even the name of the missionary arm of Hargis’ Christian Crusade seems to have some deep history packed up in it: the David Livingstone Missionary Foundation.
Glory, glory….
The song snippet is from “Sae Taryung” on the A side.
You can pick up this homage to Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” for only $95, if you find yourself at the Antique Center of Red Bank, NJ. It doesn’t match Van Gogh’s brushwork very well, but maybe that’s why I like it. #vangogh #starrynight #copy #homage #thriftstoreart #antiques #nj #redbank #vincentvangogh (at Red Bank, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwQPmHs4Gs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Savers also had a portrait of Vigo the Carpathian’s militarily inclined cousin. I don’t know his name. Y’all can name him. #scarypicture #thrifting #thriftstoreart #thriftstorefinds https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkiFNxpzkE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I found this really cool printed canvas in a thrift store for only $2. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s nothing special but I absolutely adore it. And it complements my slowly growing collection of other black and white sketch-prints. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagrammer #bookishaccount #vscobooks #blackandwhiteart #thriftstorefinds #thriftstoreart https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZIEsQH1GP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=od4jj3yamfxo
“Créatures de la Nuit” Oil on thrift store canvas print - 28 x 28in $300 + shipping Wow, oils are a mess! Luckily this came out quicker than I thought and it captures what I saw in my head the day I picked up the two (in my mind) cafe art prints. This will have a companion piece down the line but honestly painting with oils in my room again makes me a bit nervous. I hope one day to have a big ol’ studio space to make a mess in. #créaturesdelanuit #oilpainting #thriftstorepainting #thriftstoreart #thriftstorefinds #alteredart #alteredthriftstoreart #cafeart #socialpopsurrealism #artJWB (at Fort Collins, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbvu4fmMtK_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had some time to kill this afternoon so I swung by Goodwill to check out what art they have that could possibly become my next painting project. Found these two and I bet something terrifying is hiding in all that water! #thriftstorefinds #thriftstore #thriftstoreart #upcycled #upcycledart #alteredart @goodwillintl (at Goodwill Industries International, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlS7UyFCfI/?utm_medium=tumblr
