The computer’s in the bedroom, which does not have the most fabulous art in the house. The walls are mostly bookshelved and desked and bureaued.

We used to have a framed TINTIN cover hanging next to the closet…_Le Lotus Bleu_…Tintin and Snowy are hiding in a big Chinese jar and there’s a big black dragon on the wall behind them. But we moved it to our son’s room and replaced it with a painting he did when he was six.

The only other thing is a big framed lithograph over the bed, an 1885 aerial view of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, put out by the Jacob J. Vollrath Manufacturing Company.

…Waaaaay cool. Man you need a Cross-bow and a Blunderbuss to finish off the collection!

As for me… not much except the menu of the cafe downstairs…‘cause I just moved into my office pretty much… but the girl across from me has a great poster of a big ol’ mama giraffe sucking on the top of her baby’s head with the caption, ‘The First Kiss’ on it.

Zoggie, that is of particular interest to me since I wrote the OP. I have had two versions of that poster. When my first marriage ended, my then-husband and I flipped for possession of the Chat Noir. He won. ☹

Since then I replaced it with a BIGGER (heh, heh) one from the National Gallery.

I think that the Chat Noir is the name of a nightclub in Paris that was closed and then reopened.

On the south wall, I’ve painted a large graphic (mural) that represents “Desert Monsoon Mountain Day”. The only object attached to the wall is a Talavera ceramic sun resting on the sky portion of the graphic. I sit facing a huge colorful wall of blues, greens, peach, almond and tangerine.

On the north wall, I’ve painted a large graphic (mural) that represents “Desert Mountain Moon”. Attached to the wall is a Talavera ceramic moon. When I swivel around, the colors are mauve, peach, plum, violet and purple.

I like my room. The paintings are 9’ x 11’
