Description: After indulging in several glasses of finest emerald absinthe, Sabina finds herself longing for a call from a certain oafish lummox. However, the circumspect Marzipan has wisely and discreetly disconnected the telephone. This original collage has been constructed on a 4” x 6” x 1/2” handpainted gallery canvas of hand cut and assembled vintage images and is accented with jaqcuard satin ribbon, brass corners and a green crystal. Backed with art paper, signed and fitted with hanging hardware, this piece does not require a frame to hang. This original artwork and story are copyright 2014 Ramona Szczerba.

Description: Following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, 52nd Street replaced 133rd street as “Swing Street” of the city. The blocks of 52nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue became renowned for the abundance of jazz clubs and lively street life. The street was convenient to musicians playing on Broadway and the ‘legitimate’ nightclubs and was also the site of a CBS studio. Musicians who played for others in the early evening played for themselves on 52nd Street.
Description: Wall art, home décor, tote bags, and more with images of silent screen star Louise Brooks. Taken in 1979, the portrait captures this multi-talented gem at the height of her wisdom. Still striking, looking into her eyes, the depth of her immense literary knowledge is palpable. Ms. Brooks captivated connoisseurs of film, dance, and literature alike throughout her lifetime. On the Naked on My Goat blog, we discuss her self-assuredness and independence, which made her a contemplative woman of her time. She led a life most of us can only dream of. Bring that dream to life by gracing your home with this art featuring one of the most talented women to ever live.
