These images have been chosen for their uniqueness. Subject matter ranges from
historic events, to really cool phenomena in science and engineering, to relevant
place, to ingenious contraptions, to interesting products (which now has its own
dedicated Featured Product
category).
Are you tired of looking at pictures in
your workplace that were picked by interior designers for corporate environments?
You know the ones I'm referring to: the neo-cubist multidimensional scenes with
trapezoid-headed one-eyed people, and rainbow-colored whatever-they-are images that
look like a car drove over a group of paint cans at high speed and splattered a
nearby canvas. Occasionally a pastoral scene of a meadow with children running hand-in-hand
through the wind-blown grass manages to squeak in. Personally, I prefer looking
at engraved walnut patent plaques outside engineers' offices to that other "art."
There is an alternative. A quick Web search turned up a number of sources for a
more reasonable and profession-appropriate alternative. Fine Art America offers
a large collection of Engineering Artwork that covers pretty much the entire spectrum
of fields (not grass-covered) as subjects. From vintage contraptions like a wood
and brass transit, to modern marvels like the James Webb Space Telescope, to conceptual
paintings for manned Mars missions, you are sure to find something to replace the
atrocity in the lab or break room. The good thing about Fine Art America is that
prices are very reasonable even for framed canvas prints; I didn't see anything
for more than about $120 for the 12x16" versions. Larger and smaller sizes are available
as well. Sure, you could make pictures like these yourself, but will you? All the
images have links directly to the Fine Arts America website, but I've also placed
links to Amazon.com in case you want to buy them there and toss a few buck my way
(much appreciated).
