A wall full of weapons, everything from poleaxes and broadswords to Kalashnikov AK-47s and Vulcan Cannons (or Miniguns.) Maybe a nice scythe, sculpted for war and not work. Or a speargun. The mind reels with possibilities.
I’d like to have a mixture of things. My living room is currently full of “world” decorations (batik on the wall, Peruvian weaving, saki set, etc.) I bought three over-the-top bevelled mirrors with blue and gold flake frames. I think in addition to those, I’ll put up some African style masks on one wall.
I’d also like to have some original artwork, in addition to the two acrylics my mom’s given me (her work). Unfortunately, I have taste that outstrips my current budget.
Finally, I’d like to have a room just for kitsch and concert posters, etc. Probably my office/TV room when I get a bigger place. That reminds me… before I move I need to go pick up a velvet Elvis from the coffee shop guy who buys them from Mexico. Apparently he gets some pretty non-standard ones.
I agree. The rainbow/lightning picture is wonderful.
What I want to put up on my walls…? Well as of now I have a ‘Vinyl Fantasy’* poster in my closet that needs to be put up. And a poster of a Viper… I need to get thumbtacks.
What I really want to do is blow up some pictures I took while hiking/horseback riding one summer in the mountains. I got a couple of gorgeous pictures that I had stuck in a picture frame. I just need to find them now.
I also just want to get some nice fantasy posters… like unicorns and such.
My walls feel so bare right now. There is absolutely nothing on my bedroom walls and in the living room we have a trippy gnome, a bikini clad girl and the poster that came in Civ 2. When I was younger my walls were plastered with science posters mixed with bands and just posters that I liked.
[sub]*Vinyl Fantasy being a Rave that came through town last month and I was able to snag one of the advertisement posters for myself as there was a huge pile at Masjestic for anyone to take home. The picture on it is really nice actually.[/sub]
I want more art than I have walls for. I already have a gorgeous poster from the 17th Annual Dodge Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park, Connecticut (from Labor Day, 1999) which is 11x17 and features a lovely painting (well, actually, it looks like chalk? I don’t know) of three old Doge race cars rounding a turn, under the autumn leaves - wonderful colors and a delightful subject. I also have a huge print of Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks.” I’d like to supplement “Nighthawks” with a couple other Hopper prints, most especially “Gas,” and maybe a print of “The Singing Butler” by Jack Vettriano.
Then, to make a complete change from the fully saturated colors of the art already mentioned, I’d go nutso with Gunslinger’s photography. He’s done some marvelous pieces in black and white. He’s getting in to color work, now, too, but to me black and white is what says “art.”
When we go to New York City, we’re going to do some architectural stuff and try to get an interesting shot of the Chrysler Building, which is my favorite skyscraper. I’ve already been down there once, and taken an interesting picture of the Empire State Building, but I don’t have any webspace to post it on to show y’all.
