It's mid-90's this week in Portland. Short shorts and pasty skin are ruling the streets these days as people embrace the heat and slow it all down. Today's art inspirations are keeping with that theme, but hopefully making you feel more cooled off than scorching hot. All these artists are featured on the site 20x200, a site devoted to get art in the hands of everyone and allow artists to gain further recognition. This is a great site to start your art collection acquisitions, or just find a little lazy day inspiration.
