In one of the more clever get rich quick schemes (or get shit free schemes), a local New York advertising industry dropout is creating paintings of things he wants and then selling them his creations for the retail price of the "want." He wants a new pair of custom Adidas kicks, so he paints a picture of them and sells the canvas for $125.00.
So far he has sold paintings and thus acquired a gold Nixon watch ($287.19), a dual membership to the MoMa ($120.00), Michael Kors aviators ($243.84) and an open bar tab to treat his friend with ($500.00). Above are two wants that have proven two pricey even for collectors of kindergarten art: Financial security valued at $1,000,000 and Mets tickets (2 seven packs) for $597.50.
Stubb & Flask were initially skeptical of this Gordon Gecko style greed that is associated with trying to get everything you want for absolutely free. But this artist has recently launched a sister site to his WantsForSale.com, called NeedsForSale.com -- same concept, but all the paintings here benefit various charities. For this act of decency, Stubb & Flask have added both Websites to the S&F 100.
