What's on your wall?

Probably my shrine to Arturs Irbe. Outside of his mother, I have to be this guy’s biggest fan. I have his Starting Lineup figure, a four-card display with cards from each team he’s played for, and a large frame of his cards, including 2 that are autographed, 4 with pieces of his jersey, and 3 with pieces of his stick.

I also have a frame with pictures of me and Ben Folds and ticket stub he autographed for me.

A bunch of posters, certificates, and souvenir pennants. But my all-time favorite attention-getter is a b/w poster that looks like Mt. Rushmore but the caption reads: “The 4 Wise Guys of the 20th century”: Einstein, Ghandi, M.L. King, and Curly from the Three Stooges.

If I look up I can se these words on the wall:

C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\GO
C:\PC\CRAWL

C:\DOS
C:\DOS\RUN
RUN\DOS\RUN

I have pictures! The big abstract is a tapestry-like “fiber composition” by Smadar Livne – it’s about 6’x4’. I have a couple of small abstract prints on the opposite wall. Click on any of the thumbnails for a larger image.

Zoe - It takes a lot of effort but its seriously worth it. you need to get them to stand on something whilst you (and preferably a helper) do the actual taping.

We’d never done it before but had heard you could do it and thought we’d give it a try - it was either that or do office chair racing again.

The best part was when the boss came back - he was meeting his wife for lunch so invited her in to meet “his guys”. He’s used to us doing stupid things when its a very slow day, so didn’t give it a second thought (has even been known to join in!). But his wife was obviously confused - she said something like:

“Andrew honey why is there a man stuck to the wall??”

and he replied (completely deadpan):

“Oh thats Adam - he’s probably just hanging around”

i almost wet myself with laughter.

Prints of photographs taken by Clyde Butcher. Two of them are from the Everglades and two of them are from the Ten Thousand Islands area.

One of those clocks with a radio receiver that gets a signal from the atomic clock in Colorado every hour on the hour and sets itself. It’s accurate to within .003 seconds. It was my first Christmas present from Edlyn.

Seriously:
An e-bay print-out of a $20.50 NURBS sphere, a Donnie Darko posterette, a printout of a packet of Mr Sheen Spring Fresh, two playing cards with 1950’s girls printed on them (dressed, colour) a ticket stub from Sainsbury’s Deli (unused) a Monster’s Inc poster. Some Pins & a schedule for a long-overdue project

hmmm
2 squares of photos.
I think there is 42 pictures in each? I can’t remember
A mounted poster of lightening in a desert above my bed.
A mounted poster of a tree that morphs into a house by Jerry Ueslmann.
A mirror…some paint…
Yah, that’s about it.
I used to have every inch of wall and ceiling covered with pictures, but I grew out of that…

Mostly ketchup

Maps. World map, country map, WA state map, a couple area maps. I like maps. There’s also a framed (Lilo &) Stitch poster that silent_rob gave me. In the living room, I have some framed prints by jinwicked.

My room back home has posters: the Atlanta Braves pitching rotation circa 1998, and two French cafe shots. More maps. There’s an anime calendar pinned to the wall, and my BA’s framed and hanging. Finally, I have a Lego biplane suspended on fishing line and thumbtacked to the wall.

There is only one thing on my wall: a Rancid poster which doubled as a lyrics booklet from their CD, cleverly called Rancid. (The second (!) one.) I’m far too cheap to actually buy, you know, a real poster.

But if I wasn’t, my walls would be plastered with posters of punk bands.

Oh, there’s also a hole in my wall shaped like this (
as well. I have no idea what made it.

On my wall is a corkboard made out of wine corks. It’s really the coolest thing!

:smiley:

Happy-faced Wal-Mart stickers. What else? :stuck_out_tongue:

Dorm room here.

On the wall behind me is a bulletin board. The most interesting thing on it could be…well…nothing much. I have my class schedule, a map of campus, my exam schedule, and a schedule of concerts at the German Embassy.

Hey, it’s a dorm! I had to fly here! I couldn’t bring stuff.

A gun rack I made from a book shelf someone threw out. On the rack is a SLR-95 (AK-47 clone) I purchased before the klinton import ban.

A huge self-portrait poster of Kurt Vonnegut, which he was kind enough to autograph for me with the date 11-11-97 (even though I actually met him three days earlier). 11-11-97 was his 75th birthday (which I knew), so he was kind enough to make my poster a collector’s item.

White paint… mmm, no it’s off white actually. Plus I plan on hanging up an enormous flag just for the sake of being obnoxious.

On my bedroom walls at the moment?

  • A few corkboards
  • movie listings for an arthouse theatre
  • That simpsons poster with almost every character in it somewhere
  • This mad-ass Joy Division poster I picked up in Sydney last week
  • a Beastie Boys poster that came with the DVD.

In my room, I have a bunch of watercolors that I did when I was about 11-13. The colors are gorgeous, even though the subject matter is kind of eclectic. (Two fancy dining room chair, linked by a suspension bridge with tiny cars on it, a giant trenchcoat which I drew while standing up with my carcoal/paintbrush/spongebrush taped to the end of a yardstick, and an Indonesian “tree of life” sort of thing.)

Also a bunch of handmade paper collages that I made during the same sort time period. I took a lot of art classes at the Nelson Atkins Museum when I was younger.
