1. This, framed, which eventually led to a weird obsession with Ramon Novarro and his personal history. Found it at an old music professor's garage sale in Ohio.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5194VJEVhIL._SS500_.jpg

2. This ceramic tile, which my dear friend Siobhan gave me. It is one of my prized possessions.

3. An old fucked-up oak desk drawer holding a picture of a young sailor taken in 1937 in Hawaii, and a sewing kit complete with brittle old thread dating from the 1910s.

4. The turk's head knot as used by divers to rest their diving helmets on when not in water, done by my good friend when he was on acid.

5. Four photos improperly exposed so that two exposures appear on half of each piece of paper, from some family's 1950s era trip to Turkey. Plus an old horse-shoe.

we're interesting people aren't we

i think so!!!

I have

http://www.rare-maps.com/MAPS_PIC/RM-1912-TORONTO.JPG
map of Toronto, 1912. Our street doesn't even make the cut because we're in midtown, which didn't exist then except as farms.

Mostly sexist vintage advertising, my favourite is the cigarette one which promises 'Blow in her face and she'll follow you everywhere.'

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/47112_438139358577_516053577_5137084_3556052_n.jpg
Collages made from the three Modest Mouse setlists I've snagged - made the first one because it was first time I went to Chicago/Madison and I was excite (has map of Madison as background, iHop sugar packet, Marlboros) but then made Toronto & Kingston versions because got engaged at Kingston show - I actually put in the temp fake diamond ring that I wore while I waited for my custom ring.

The original version of the Rolling Stones' Some Girls, which I cut up like an asshole ;_;
A melting Dali clock
Radiohead poster that I bought long after I should have, and hung sideways
Revolving band of framed album covers

bonus round, because I love my handiwork - I rescued this shelf *11 years ago* from the garbage, repainted, recently added a back to stabilize it and last week cut old record covers to act as wallpaper! Really liked the effect over boring old plywood.

i e-mailed the NOLA thing to a couple of people & got this back:

Fantastic. Dated when? 1987?

I will show you six things on the walls in the room I am in.

wait is there another record missing there or is it a diptych?>

(Corn painting, btw, is one of three paintings in my apartment by infrequent ILXor D3rek Erdm@n.)

wait is there another record missing there or is it a diptych?>

Oh shoot, the first one just disappeared.

It's this:

http://oi41.tinypic.com/w22dyc.jpg

awesome

Use your imagination to arrange it into the triptych.

I moved in to a new apartmen a couple of months ago, and at the moment I have nothing on the walls. In the previous one I had two movie posters, for Totoro and Innocence (the French movie about the mystrious girl school). The current one has much more wall space though, so I guess I should come up with more and/or larger posters.

These are the two posters:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WVGtACCa8m0/TbWXuTS1qPI/AAAAAAAABMk/Akx2exLNPH0/s1600/Innocence.jpg

Maybe I should get posters that feature other than children, so someone doesn't think I'm a perv? :)

nothing & i don't recall wishing otherwise

Positive clutter! I like that!

Living in temporary lodgings whilst house shopping, so most of my wall art is at a storage facility. They include things like:

A promo poster for last years Otto Dix exhibition

http://www.mmfa.qc.ca/ottodix/images/en/menu/vera.gif

A Soviet cigarette advertisement:

http://i40.tinypic.com/qmxto1.jpg

A couple 4AD posters:

http://i40.tinypic.com/2iu4751.jpghttp://i41.tinypic.com/2w2liiv.jpg

I miss them, but not as much as the books.

I do have some South Pacific wood carvings flanking my desk at present (too fragile for boxing), a Balinese barong (protective spirit) mask, and a sea tortoise with a folk tale (the Breadfruit tree) from Palau.

This is a framed kite on the bedroom wall. My husband's aunt gave the kite to him as a kid
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/sharonjoy666/346bd81a.jpg

Shepherd Fairey poster from the 06 X / Rollins Band show at the Warfield. One of my favorite posters. We have quite a few framed rock posters in the living area.
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/sharonjoy666/4ac02419.jpg

Hard to make out as a photo but this is a citation "for most efficient action & presence of mind" given to Mr Veg's grandfather, a machinist at the Pearl Harbour Naval Yard, present at the time of the bombing in 1941. Hung in the kitchen entrance.
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/sharonjoy666/23e9126f.jpg

Signed (!) You Am I poster that my best friend back home in Australia surprised me with last Christmas. She went to the show & had the band sign it & everything <3
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/sharonjoy666/7cd73746.jpg

Darkness on the Edge of Town framed album cover in the study because HOW GREAT. One of 3: the other 2 are Hwy 61 Revisted & Meet The Beatles, I love the covers so much.

xpost Sanpaku you have the GREATEST stuff on yr walls! Love the Otto Dix poster especially, but those wood carvings are !!!!

fucking hell on the wood carvings

Here's my cube wall. I don't have 5 things.

xp league: they're tourist trinkets, really. The barong mask was found in the central market in Ubud, Bali (yes, its where Eat, Pray, Love was later filmed) for about $35. The tortoise with its breadfruit tree story was carved in the unfenced prison at Melekeok, Palau, which has a gift shop which evidently supports the prisoners.

Not a gift shop in the usual sense really. Practically an unused cell with these carvings stacked against the walls. Both broke in transit home, but glue and patience won in the end.

1 - a bunch of postcards of Glasgow and Edinburgh
2 - this (well as close as I could find anyway) resistor colour code chart
http://www.southgatearc.org/images/maplin/ResChart.gif
3 - someone's mobile # on a small piece of paper
4 - table of capacitor values/codes

and not actually on a wall but would be if I had a frame for it

5 - a photo of a pile of wrecked cars in a junk yard, with the caption "ANOTHER HOUR? ANOTHER DRINK? ANOTHER DEATH" over the top in Letraset, made by the graphic design student who rented a room in a house where I was living while at university.

Ohhh goodie! I had the *exact* same thread-idea the day ilx died. Here's mine:

2. Framed, limited poster of Arthur Rimbaud, bought in his hometown Charleville-Mézières, apparently so limited I can't find an image online. It's this portrait, but with 'Le Bateau Ivre' in his handwriting in the background:

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.

I actually almost went to Pierogi Heaven for lunch today. As in, I dawdled outside and peered in before deciding to get a sandwich somewhere else.

jaymc when you are out lunching that close to my work, you should let me know! If you want lunch company, that is.

James Ensor! Belgium's famous painter! Pick him up and shake his hand! Appreciate the man!

i thought the lyric was "dig him up and shake his hand"!

Ronan: A poster for Stalker! Where did you come by that? I love it.

I got it on Amazon actually, it's quite small and was fairly expensive for the size. I really should get it framed as I currently just have it stuck on the wall.

yeah, it is "dig him up" now that you mention it.
