It’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in New York and all of the 2014 spring lines are being shown on the runway. Whether its women’s or men’s wear, all of today’s fashions automatically come with the smart phone as an accessory. Our love of phones has crossed into the fashion world with the introduction of brush cases to protect our valuable communications devices.
One artist has taken the ordinary brush case to a new level. New York artist Anca Barbu is hand painting unique and beautiful iPhone and Android brush cases and they are catching on as a fashionable way to dress your phone. Barbu, an abstract surreal/expressionist artist finds inspiration for her work from the likes of Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock. Her unique painting techniques make these cases instant head-turners.
These unique pieces of art for your phone run about $45 each. You get an original hand painted phone cover that friends will envy and want to know where to get their own. Barbu’s website has an array to select from and you can also up the ante by commissioning a custom case with an image of your choice.
