Describe/show everybody five things (ie artworks, pictures, posters, whatever) currently on your walls...
ie for me
1. Theodore Roussel's 'Reading Nude'http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/89e5960a-ea34-4a89-ab7a-1c6382e79938/uploadedartwork/450X450/2a2ea3dd-f7fe-495e-91b8-75b3c908dded.jpg
2. Myrna Loy & William Powell as Nick & Nora Charles, & Asta the Wonder Doghttp://morestatelymansions.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/thin-man12.jpg
3. & 4. Some great blown-up illustrations from old kids' books, one of a sloth and one of a cat in the clothes of a Jamaican witch (I can't find them online now, but I know I nicked them both from here-- http://theanimalarium.blogspot.com/)
5. This poster: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yg0wzuV8KA0/SZ9oOOCYk8I/AAAAAAAADFA/-132xXUcI84/s400/lf_005.jpg

1: a photo of dolly parton i kept from a magazine, inside a clipframe; I can't find the photo online, but it's her in the '70s, I guess, w/a headscarf. I never liked frames, & still don't like real frames, & it got pretty beat up being schlepped from one house to another, but it's taken on this great creased look around the edges that sorta suits it/Dolly's mystique
2: this image, which was the cover of an anthology film archives programme once when I lived nearby & was a member, in a clipframe also
3: a receipt for some aluminum foil I bought just before thanksgiving at C-TOWN in Astoria, near my best friend's place; her name begins with C, & I'd never been there before, & it was funny turning onto her road & seeing a huge C-TOWN sign. it is blu-tacked to my wall.
4: a postcard of abstraction blue by georgia o'keefe, propped up against the mantelpiece
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g11lVqerMcY/TN1An2HIIAI/AAAAAAAACb4/KR5qYk5Cm7g/s640/1abstrationblue.jpg
& 5: a veterans of disorder royal trux poster
http://www.dragcity.com/system/products/images/1447/large.jpg?1248502578
this is a great thread!, & will work well w/sandboxer tastes, as they are good at interiors iirc. i will bump it sometime in the future because i generally do not bother with decorating but am in the process of getting a bunch of stuff I always wanted for my walls. my elusive number one target is this film poster, but idk if I'm ever gonna find it. also the photorealistic vince vaughn painting raised in the ruffalo thread, prob also not gonna happen anytime soon

I'm really lazy about putting stuff up. I only have 3 things on my bedroom wall and they're all maps. 2 new york and 1 paris.
http://www.raremaps.com/maps/mediumkz/21077.jpg
the paris one is from 1910ish I think? I figured out the date but forgot it. found it at a book fair there.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBcBbXOBT-Y/S52LQljBNjI/AAAAAAAAA3w/YH_mRK-3UU8/s320/UM_TA_1980.jpg
this is a piece of the map, can't find the whole image. it's early 80s. it's an actual gigantic framed station map that I found discarded and dirty on the street. I lugged it home (it's like 100 pounds) 15 blocks while my gf shook her head and thought about relationship exit-strategies.
then I have a small cheap reproduction of a hagstrom's map of new york subways and elevated lines. I can't find it online but it's dual contracts era. dayo gave me a hk subway map but I am really lazy and haven't put it up.

Most of my wall space has been taken up with shelving units as the place is tiny, for some reason we have garden-type lights on the few remaining walls, and my landlord is a bit of a weird person so I haven't wanted to communicate with him to ask if we can make areas to hang stuff, so currently I have *nothing at all* on my walls. I do very much know what I want to put up when we move, though, so...
5 things on walls, hypothetical edition:
1. This still from Un Chien Andalou, which I cut out of the newspaper and framed, and had up at the last house:http://www.sensesofcinema.com/wp-content/uploads/images/chien.jpg
2. This awesome picture of Klaus Schulze:http://zero1magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/klaus-schulze4.jpg
3. At least one of these gig posters, of which I have a few (actually, I believe the catalogue here is incomplete, it may well just be the ones that he still intends to sell).
4. A print I'm about to buy of a painting my friend did called 'Admir4l H4gfish' (not sure why I'm googleproofing here, but hey) - of a cat as an old sea tar. Might sound a bit cheesy but it's done very well.
5. One of my friend D's drawings/paintings - he works from a sort of medieval/religious frame, but with a surrealist and romantic bent.

1. A hideous Bob Rosstrossity that I bought at a junk store in St. Louis. The more I look at it the more terrible it gets, but we needed something large for over the couch and the colors were right and it's pretty hilarious.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6479553797_deedf23689.jpg
2. Three post cards of animals dress in Victorian clothing that I bought from someone on Etsy and framed myself (I have three other critters so I can switch these out one day). These are on the living room wall to the left of the Rosstrossity as you're facing it.

It's hard to tell from the pic but that Carrie poster is huge. It used to hang in the living room of our old apartment, which was next to a grocery store. When the lighting was right, if you stood in the parking lot of the grocery store and looked up into our window, that poster is what you would see. It was awesome.

The two bigger ones I bought at a chain craft store in NC in the early 00s, like a Michael's or a Hobby Lobby or something. They were white and I painted them with cast iron-effect craft paint. The other one I bought at TJ Maxxxxxx/Marshall's/one of those places.

Ha, a few weeks ago (and again, a few days ago), I got into a long argument with someone who thought Burt Lancaster, in The Sweet Smell of Success, and I have the same glasses. Evidently not having the same glasses isn't convincing enough.
