Interesting Art Project

For most 20-something couples in New York City, it's tough enough to afford the things they need, let alone the little excess pleasures in life. That's why this pair of artists is looking for a bit of extra help. They're selling paintings of things they want. Some, like "Sleep" and "To Hear a Good Joke" are free.

Sounds odd, I know, but the idea is so fresh and original, and their style is graphic and sometimes cartoonish. It's a fun, affordable and definitely hip commentary on consumerism, capitalism and the power of the newly flattened earth.

Each of their paintings represents an item they want and costs the price of the real item. Whether it's a slice of pepperoni pizza ($3), Frozen Margaritas ($30) or an iPhone ($432.42), they're going to use the money they make to buy that Want. They're even open to trade, so if you've got a Wii, you've got a painting.

Browse through their gallery, get in touch with your id, and see if there's anything you want.
