Michael Storrings' Halloween

By Barbara Crews, About.com Guide

Looking for a new and affordable way to collect Michael Storrings' artwork? Look no further than his newest offerings. Prints that are made from his original artwork that is used for the designs of the Landmark Creation ornaments and published books.

In the past Storrings has offered a limited number of his original sketches, but this is an excellent way for the collector who might not be able to get an original piece.

Each print is individually glittered and hand embellished by the artist with a variety of findings including rhinestones, feathers, buttons, glitter and metallic paints.

These prints are signed, matted and will fit into a standard 11 x 14" frame.

Price is $55. and includes shipping.

Order directly from the artist on his website, Storrings.com. Currently he is offering three holiday images:

• Thanksgiving Day Parade - a personal favorite
• Broadway
• Fashion Avenue

Although this particular Halloween print is NOT shown on the website, Storrings informs me that it is also available directly from him. Unfortunately this picture doesn't do the art work justice, it's amazingly detailed and the embellishments just add another dimension to the print. This particular piece was sitting on my desk after just getting back from the frame shop ($26. for a custom frame), a friend who happened to stop by saw it and ordered it immediately, while still at my house. That's just how much fun it is!

Other prints can also be found at Bergdorf Goodman store. These include the Rockefeller Center Tree (New York at Christmas), Central Park which is a very wintery scene and the Bergdorf Goodman 111 anniversary art piece (limited to this year only). Bergdorf Goodman also carries a wide selection of Landmark Creations ornaments designed by Michael.
