New collage work in progress

These are about 9 inches square.


"Cake Cups - Reprise" A painting/drawing/collage in progress. This is a re-working of a background from an old image...


"Looka this" A painting/drawing/collage in progress. I don't know what she's got under there...


"Shark Faces" A painting/drawing/collage in progress. This one has a long ways to go. Its title is definitely subject to change.


"Stolen by Apollo" A painting/drawing/collage in progress. I like this one as a poem:
Stolen by Apollo, they're kooky at home. Rocked by scandal.

Also, years ago i used to paint a lot of birds. I would make a big gloppy mess of paint and or whatever else was around and then "find" images of birds in the mess. I kind of did that a bit here, so far.

i finally have a tumblr

Here's my new tumblr!! http://thewaytorich.tumblr.com/ I've been posting mostly from my collected random images file that contains bits of future/past/never-to-exist collages. But I'm also in love with the reblog feature! I'm very open to following suggestions for it - let me know...

"Perfect..." New Print Available at NOWhere Limited

I have a new limited archival pigment print edition at NOWhere Limited now!

The image size is 12 inches square, and the paper's just an inch or so bigger so you have a border for framing. There are 10 signed and numbered pieces in this edition, and it is available unframed for just $30 OR (and I'm really excited about this) ready to hang in an archival museum-quality frame for $95 total. Details on the framing are here: http://nowherelimited.com/museum-quality-framing


Elisha Sarti, Perfect, Signed and numbered edition of 10, Archival pigment print on acid-free paper, Image size is 12 x 12 inches + a border for framing, 2010.

ABOUT THE PRINT:
The source images for Elisha’s collaged series – According to Gooogle – were derived from Google Image searches for subjective words like pretty, wrong and best. The resulting canvases read as a bizarre yet captivating “pictionary.” Here is what Google “thinks” is perfect, as arranged by the artist.

- MUSEUM QUALITY FRAMING AVAILABLE (For an additional fee) -



If you would like to add a matte black anodized metal frame complete with museum quality mat (in white) and other archival components to this piece please see the info: here

- ORIGINAL AVAILABLE -
The original 12" x 12" x 1" collage with acrylic on stretched canvas is available: here

Art Basel Miami Beach & the other fairs with Look Into My Owl

Last week was the first time I attended the annual Miami art fairs and it was incredible! I had so many amazing art experiences, it's hard to even process them all... If you get the chance to visit any of these fairs, go! I already can't wait for next year.



I was there assisting Scott from Look Into My Owl with photos and video. He did an incredible job documenting the 2009 Art Basel Miami Beach fair as well as Art Miami and the NADA, SCOPE and Pulse fairs. Below are some links to his coverage, as well as a link to NOWhere Limited's Facebook page, where I posted some quick impressions of the events we attended in the comments. I have also been "favoriting" Tweets featuring links to even more coverage of the fairs by a variety of art news outlets.
