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.

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.
― Sanpaku, Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:13 (twelve years ago) link
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 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.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6479552807_e157090a73.jpg
3. Wedding gift from an artist friend of ours. It's hard to tell, but it's a map of Chicago with two birds. <3

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.
