A little while ago, the gorgeous Marian at House of Style did a lovely post on 'Art on my back', which inspired me to do this post of 'Art on my front'!!
Last Spring, whilst on a London shopping trip, I purchased two t shirts from Uniqlo-they were 2 for £20, which was a really good deal.
Both of them have prints by the late Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was a leading figure of American pop art and a grafitti artist superstar in the 1980s. He sadly died of a heroin overdose in 1988. A film was made of his life and his work is highly sought after.

I loved that post by Marian and love yours. I live grafic prints and wouldn't mind wearing art on my front or back. Yours really looks great.
I *AM* the work of art.
I kid, I kid!
You look great.
I'm loving it on you, Sharon. I want one too, I'd wear it as a dress with heels, hehe :)
I don't currently own a piece of art , but I'm definitely looking to purchase something of that sort.
Hope you are having a fantastic day!

Hi,
Superb top, Sharon. Oh, yes I have an artistic creation pieces. I'm ICON's creations fan. Do you know them? ( http://www.iconshoes.com/ ) Artistic creations on bags and footwears. I have a matching bag and a sandal.
Have a great day: Janet
Hi Lenya-thats lovely of you, thanks a lot!!
Hi Wendy-I would agree anyway-you are a true inspiration!!
Hi LaMimi-thanks for your lovely comment!!
Hi Janet-Your bag and shoes sound fabulous, thanks my dear!
Love your work of art, very cool!
ooohh i just love Basquiat. That tank is great--the knotted side gives it that great 80s feel that goes so well with the print. I would totally wear it as a dress too for a night out!
Hi Silje-thanks my dear!
Hi Tanya-yes, maybe in summer I'll be daring enough to wear it as a dress!!
love the basquiat on you, and the side knot is inspired - perfect 80's! my husband painted a bunch of ties years ago, i should start wearing them.
How fun to wear a Basquiat! I don't have any traditional visual art printed on clothing, but I bought a sweater in Tasmania that is so gorgeous I consider it to be a work of art. Does that count?
Hi fashion herald-that would be such a cute look, go for it!!
Hi Sal-I say so, that would be lovely to see my dear!
Nice! I love the eighties! I have a pretty art-y tie-dye dress that I just bought . . . haven't summoned the courage to wear it yet but you are inspiring me!
