Want Art’s Christine and Justin are a couple of artists from New York who have given creative visualization a whole new, and rather literal meaning. They paint the things they want, and then sell their acrylic on canvas artworks for exactly the price the item depicted would cost.
Their current list of wants ranges from a modest $3 for “A Slice of Pepperoni” pizza, to $100 “To Help Kids in New Orleans” and $ 432.42 for "An iPhone." Some of the more bizarre items on their list include $27.09 for "A Tan," $100 for "A Night We Won't Remember," $1,056.07 for "One Month's Rent," and $1,000,000.00 for "Financial Security." Once a painting is sold, the duo promise to use the money to buy the item depicted. One item they'd like to have which money can't buy however is "Sleep," a painting which the duo are offering for free (though the buyer must pay for shipping).
