With @bettercallsaulamc making an INSANE comeback

With @bettercallsaulamc making an INSANE comeback (who knew prequel/sequels could even be this good?!) it's no surprise the interest in this @breakingbad piece has resurfaced.
This crystal blue homage, titled "SAY MY NAME", by @brucey.parker has #SOLD
No spoilers here - but so scroll through for a detailed look at this custom wood cutout!

The graffiti scene in Barcelona is unmatched!!! There's just no way to explain it. 😍 😍 😍
But as much graffiti as there is all over the city funny enough, you never really see anyone painting. Unless of course you head over to Jardins de les Tres Xemeneies.
Aka Three Chimneys which is an absolute mecca for graffiti, skating, bmx, breaking and all things hip hop culture.
Needless to say we spent many hours on many different days here just catching a vibe. New pieces go up daily and there was even a full blown concert one night!
Lmk if you've ever been here and what you thought of it!!

I mean listen. I WAS THAT PERSON. I had the same

I mean listen. I WAS THAT PERSON.
I had the same exact preconceived notion of the art world. And in some cases it was true. I walked out of plenty of art galleries feeling defeated. Feeling like an art collection was something unattainable.
And why is that??? Of course - as with any product or service, in any industry - there's levels to this shit!! Of course there will always be big ticket items in any gallery. As there should be. Artists need to make a living, too!
But the difference here at Chicago Truborn is that we're providing a RANGE OF PRICE POINTS. Before you take a big leap into the world of art collecting, it's totally fair to want to ease yourself in.
That's why we have an entire section of our website dedicated to pieces $150 and under!
There's also an entire section of prints that start at just $25. Looking for something in the middle? What about a hand embellished print?
Or maybe you're looking for an original painting. Well, we've got pieces at all price points for established AND emerging collectors.
And no matter who you are or what your budget is - we are proud to offer interest free, zero fee, @zip_usa Payment plans. That takes any order and splits it into four manageable payments.
I would have never imagined a gallery would offer payment plans so it was one of the most exciting developments, tbh.

If you're in Barcelona this musuem is a MUST. We just had a ball at @MOCOMUSEUM!!
Not only did they have pieces by some of art history's finest - Dali, Warhol, Haring, and Basquiat - but contemporary/Street artist faves too!
We got to oogle a serious collection of @banksy @kaws @takashipom @osgemeos @damienhirst @david_lachapelle @yayoikusama_ with a new mural at the end by @einesigns.
But the big take away for us was...
The incredible. Mind blowing. Breath taking. @guillermolorcagarcia from CHILE. His paintings crept into our mind and souls and are truly unforgettable masterpieces.
Head to our stories for even more details and stills from our visit.

Now hold on just a second!! DID YOU KNOW there is a @montanagallerybarcelona?!?
Well it makes sense when you think about it! Montana paint is made here in Barcelona and the city is so rooted in graffiti!
Not only can you buy paint here (😢 if only, Chicago!) but they have frequent events and exhibitions.
Needless to say we were elated to visit AND during the @pezbarcelona show nonetheless!
Pez is a household name in the street art world and this is his home turf so it was really exciting to visit and see so many of his pieces in person.
There was also a sweet display of train pieces and lots of @montana_colors goodies to oogle!

MUCHAS GRACIAS to @canal__gallery in Barcelona - located in the Gothic Quarter. Their current show is a deep dive into the darkness, featuring @psychoudini and @sr_gotta.
Walk into the basement and the show continues with sculptural pieces and additional canvas works to add to the main exhibit.
These two artists couldn't be more different in style and aesthetic yet they are a perfect pairing especially for those into the world of dark art... Ahem 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️
The gallery itself is another gorgeous building built in the 1800s w vaulted ceilings. Balu, the gallery owner was so kind and y'all know I'm taking home a piece from both artists!!

Today in Barcelona...! Our visit to @galeria_maxo

Today in Barcelona...!
Our visit to @galeria_maxo was nothing short of amazing. They've got it going ON.
If you're in BCN looking for pop/ Street art inspired work by local and international artists at a very affordable price point....This is the place.
The gallery features all works on paper $150 and under! Most are 1/1s and limited editions...and sizeable too. About 28 x 24.
We visited 3 of 5...yes they have 5 LOCATIONS!
Everyone inside each gallery was so incredibly helpful and friendly and spoke multiple languages to accommodate all guests. We should take notes, ey?
Might be bringing home 4 pieces 🤪

Today in Barcelona we had the honor of visiting several contemporary / Street art galleries - first up is a tour of @baseelements gallery. Actually they have 2 locations here!
Currently, they're showing work from faves like @pezbarcelona, @dadara_art @morcky_troubles @phen_stylez @julian.lorenzo @konair & @soemmac (and many more)
The highlight was catching @ivanaflores.art painting live! Such a pleasure to meet this artist whose work is so detailed and fantastical down to the last drop.
The basement level is more of a studio set up so you can see the artists work stations and really get a feel for their creative processes.
Thanks for the hospitality!

TOLD Y'ALL we'd be dropping new art consistently throughout the month of July and this @emilio_ramos piece is at the top of that list!!
CLEARLY made specifically for our collectors, "Eye Over Chi" is for the die hard Chicagoan who carries our city in their heart at all times!
The hamsa represents protection and is meant to ward off evil while the Chicago flag gives it that feeling of HOME.
Huge respect and appreciation to the artist for creating something this special for us. Although based in Miami/NYC, Emilio created this piece knowing the bond Chicagoans have with our city is unbreakable.
Available now online - complimentary in store pickup always an option or we'll ship it to you WORLDWIDE.

NEW ART DROP!!! The one and only @praxis_vgz has blessed us with FOUR...JUST FOUR of these incredibly limited edition prints.
Previously offered only alongside his original paintings - these stunning pieces are now available for purchase!!
Each hand carved print was pulled on a Vintage Press from the 1800s by the artist himself, in Columbia.
If you're an animal lover - if you've perhaps rescued your best furry friend(s) Familia/Sagrada is the piece for you!!
