Art Pickings: Behold Our Brand New Art Portal

by Maria Popova

A big announcement and a small way to have more art in your life.

The more observant of you may have noticed a sneaky little “Art” button suddenly show up in our top navigation menu. That’s because today is a big day for Brain Pickings.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Art Pickings — a curated art portal in partnership with our friends at society6. (Remember them?)

On Art Pickings, we’ll be featuring closely curated work by some of our favorite independent illustrators, painters, graphic desingers and other visual artists, available in the form of prints, laptop skins, American Apparel t-shirts, and even iPod/iPhone accessories.

And since society6 is among the best places to buy affordable art, snagging some fantastic artwork and supporting the talent behind it won’t make a dent in your wallet.

So please go ahead and explore, spread the word and, above all, enjoy.

We’ve got a weekly newsletter and people say it’s cool. It comes out on Sundays, offers the week’s articles, and features five more tasty bites of web-wide interestingness. Here’s an example. Like? Sign up.

donating = loving

Brain Pickings remains free (and ad-free) and takes me hundreds of hours a month to research and write, and thousands of dollars to sustain. If you find any joy and value in what I do, please consider becoming a Member and supporting with a recurring monthly donation of your choosing, between a cup of tea and a good dinner:
