The wife made me a shirt - a crazy black and white floral print done cowboy style with a yoke across the front and back. It's super-flashy/trashy and I love it!
My mom gave me a painting she made for me, a dia de los meurtos-style ornate skull. She usually paints plates and cups and other "practical" items, but this was art for art's sake (something she never does) and it made me really happy. She also gave me a cookbook she put together with all the old family recipes in it...made me cry a little
$$$
Some really cool cast iron cookware (I'm a bit of a foodie)

He's going to frame it for my Birthday... I can't wait. I'm a HUGE fan of her work and I'm hoping to collect more of her prints. :)
My friend Kevin got me Tara McPheron's book, Lonely Heart: The Art of Tara McPherson (http://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Heart-Art-Tara-McPherson/dp/1595821023/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199238985&sr=8-1)

Battlestar Galactica: Razor
Arenic and Old Lace
All and all, honestly, not to be selfish, but this was a relatively disappointing Christmas. I was hoping for my usual bunch of books and graphic novels, but, alas... Oh, well. I'll steal the lot that my boyfriend got. :rolleyes: *jealous*

I'd love to see it. What was really neat is that it's signed by the author and she wrote a note to my boyfriend in the shipment to thank him for the purchase... This will definitely appreciate in value.
We're also looking at collecting the art of Ray Caesar (http://www.raycaesar.com/pages/home.html).
