My home isn't decorated in the most traditional home decor, I am a gamer, a nerd, ect my home is decorated in a lot of Gamer and comic book inspired decor along with lots of dragons, skulls, bats, ect. I am always happy to add new decor which is why I couldn't resist the adorable art from Sugar Fueled Art on etsy, their work is so adorable and slightly dark at the same time I love all of the work they offer. Sugar Fueled Art offers dozens of prints some inspired by Disney or movie characters others aren't but each is unique in it's own way.



For a recent review I was sent five Sugar Fueled Art Mini prints I received; Gizmo from Gremlins, Ewok Wicket from Star Wars, Legend Devi, A Rainbow Unicorn Pony &
Olaf Snowman Cocoa from Disneys Frozen. The prints look even better in person then they do in the photos online, holding the prints in my hands I noticed more of the details and colors I had missed when viewing them online. Each print arrived in its own protective sleeve and was signed on the back with the year, they arrived in a speedy manner and arrived in perfect condition. If you were to ask me which of the prints was my favorite I honestly couldn't give you an answer I love them all and each for their own reasons but mainly because they are all too adorable not to love. I plan on buying a special frame to display these together on my wall for the time being I am keeping them on my desk but have already had quite a few people ask about them. I know it is a little strange to point out but I have to say I love their logo as well something about the little black star with a lighting bolt down the middle just grabs my attention, each card features the logo but it blends in perfectly.

The artist & owner Michael is quite sweet and fun loving you get a real sense of his personality through his work, He will be attending a number of events and comicons throughout the rest of 2014 if he is in your area I suggest heading out to meet him in personal and check out his work you won't be disappointed. All of the prints sell for $4-$12 for a magical piece of art work the prices are perfect and 100% worth paying to have this art in your home. Each print has beautiful coloring, fine line work and shows you a piece of another mysterious world through the eyes of that character.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky reader is going to win 5 Mini Prints of their choice. There are Dozens of designs to choose from.

Indy & Ron Desginer Prints Review and Giveaway

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by The art & designs of Ron & Indy to be used for the review & giveaway Free of charge.****

If you visit my blog often you will see that I am a gamer & I can be quite the nerd when I want to be. One of the games I played constantly growing up was the Legend of Zelda which was loved for many reasons, when ever I get the chance I still play Zelda so it comes to no surprise that I was attracted to the Link and Princess Zelda prints sold by RonGuyatt a wonderful shop on Etsy. The Art & Designs of Ron Guyatt & Indy Lytle is bold yet subtle all of the prints they offer are eye catching and make for a wonderful conversation starter between your friends and yourself.



Ron & Indy offer dozens of designs from many different video games and movies which makes it hard to narrow down a favorite print, I personally loved their Little sister print but for my review I choose a print I knew a good friend of mine would love. For my review I received a set of their Princess Zelda & Link posters along with a copy of their Portal Nouveau - Screen-print Poster. The posters arrived well protected in a poster tube, each poster has a thin piece of paper between them to keep them safe from scratches and sticking, Shipping speeds were marvelous. The prints are printed well, each design is bright, crisp and stunning perfect for being "grown up" art while still showing off a piece of your childhood. When my fiance & I first moved out on our own we were both eighteen our home decor consisted of band posters and random pictures pinned to the walls which after a while my mother suggested we get more "grown up" art work. We may have become older but we don't want to give up the things we love just because were adults so prints such as those I received from Ron & Indy are a perfect mixture of the things we love and having the feeling of more "adult" art work. These prints look wonderful in frames, I choose black for the prints I received but I believe they would look perfect in any color frame. The prints are 9 x 13 which is in my opinion the perfect size, Why? Frames are easier to find in the standard sizes, I can walk into a number of stores and find a 9 x 13 frame that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Other prints I have bought or received came in larger or odd sizes which made it difficult to find a frame, with the Zelda prints I found nice frames at the first store I checked.



The prints are made using Canon Dye Inks on Professional Grade Premier Imaging Micropore Luster Paper (or Better), 10.4mil RC Photo Base, 270 GSM. The paper the posters are printed on allows them to be quite sturdy it is a mix between card stock and poster board, It can be easily rolled up for storage without the print being ruined. Each design is well thought out goes perfectly with the theme of the game or movie without being exactly how they are shown in the game since you never really get to see a clear picture of the game characters they create an image for you. I love all three prints that I received and so did my friend who likes Zelda! Ron & Indy hit the nail right on the head when it comes to skillful designs. Want to know a little about the artists? About Ron; He loves to Design Posters & Create Illustrations. He also enjoys Digital Editing and Photography. Many people have described his style as influenced by Art Deco & Futurism. About Indy; Indy is a passionate artist who loves to create character illustrations. Her style is influenced by Art Nouveau, Comic Books and Pinup artwork. Please feel free to visit their personal websites you can find Ron's website Here and you can visit Indy by clicking Here. I think that any of their art work would be great for a childs room, a teenagers room or a living room,game room and so forth. I will personally be looking into getting more of their poster prints in the future.

ThumbTack Press Highlight

My home decor isn't your average decor, We have dragons,fairies,& more so I am always on the look out for interesting Home decor such as Art prints. I was recently introduced to a website called Thumbtack Press.

Thumbtack Press is the pioneers of affordable open-edition art prints with over 100 top illustrator, lowbrow, and character artists from around the world.They offer thousands of art prints, including kids prints,abstract prints,Animal prints & much more. Taking a look through their website I found a handful of prints I like & would purchase just on the first page. One of thier brand new artisits is called Uglydolls,from the creative minds of two love struck artists emerge the UGLYDOLL® family! See what happens when the playful orange character known as Wage™ and the other Uglys are thrust out of the comfort of their Uglyverse and into the strange world of humans. These prints capture the Uglys, for the first time, out of their natural habitat. Who knows what will happen next.

I find the Uglydoll prints to be quite adorable each one has its own unique personality,There are three different ways you can buy a print, You can purchase a Stretched Canvas,Framed print or just the print. Head over to check out the other prints they have to offer if you keep an eye on their Twitter & Facebook you may be able to catch a special offer or two,The site is easy to navigate & the prints are fun to browse. I plan on revisiting this website in the future because there are quite a few prints I would love to own.**This was not a paid review & I did not receive any products in exchange for this review**
