Music Based Art for the Artful Musician

Back in early 2011 two longtime friends who live across the country from each other got together over the phone and brainstormed a joint artistic endeavor. Justin Potts and Tom Meyers met in high school where one was obsessed with drawing and the other with the darkroom. The common passions that brought them together and keep them close are making art and making music. They named the venture Artful Musician, a small business focusing on art prints that cater to other lovers of art and music. You can find their 'sister' Etsy shops by following the links below.

Tom's Etsy shop, www.artfulmusicianny.etsy.com, features a gorgeous array of music inspired art prints based on Tom's original photography and polaroid transfer art.

He captures the vintage artistry of brands like Fender, Vox, Marshall, Gibson, Orange and Moog. A range of musical gear is represented: microphones, headphones, speakers, amplifiers as well as guitar, bass, drums, band and classical instruments.

Fine art prints are available as 11x14, 8x10 or 5x7, as well as ACEO print packs of 10...all at extremely affordable prices.

Justin's Etsy shop, www.artfulmusician.etsy.com, features art prints based primarily on photo collage, though his watercolor and ink drawings make appearances, too.

Justin's detailed and dreamy musical collages are created from original drawings, paintings, old photographs and other imagery. They're filled with guitars, drums, bass, piano, harp, choirs and composers.

This musical art is available as 11x14, 8x10 or 5x7 prints. You can also choose from several music themed sticker sets. Justin's shop also features his beautiful altered guitars and art-ified drum heads.
