Why plaster the house with posters when for a little more, you could have a gallery of originals? Outré can get you started for under $100. Some might consider their pop and counter-culture pieces rather out there, but Outré is only gaining momentum, thanks to a new breed of collector. Works include Shag’s terminally cool hipsters, who inhabit an endless cocktail hour, and Mark Ryden’s wide-eyed ingenues with a sinister streak. Licensed figurines and merchandise are one alternative to 2D art and Outré has also branched into publishing. Check out the fab back catalogue including Beatsville which documents the groovy world of beatniks. M. PADULA
