Show us 5 Things on your Walls

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:

1. Bas Jan Ader, "I'm Too Sad To Tell You" (framed print)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu216/le_bateau_ivre/toosad.jpg

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:

3. Mark Rothko, 'Orange and Yellow', framed poster

(Is sandbox a secret borad, or deindexed? Or is this for all to see?)

think threads are public by default, but can be deindexed by mods?

I want that psychedelic green & red sloth!

I just ordered a framed poster of this (xmas present to myself:(sans watermark obv):

OK, you guys have the best stuff

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

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6479551841_b4d04d3902.jpg

4. Godzilla poster in Polish (mod podged it onto a canvas and painted the border and then took a really blurry picture to post on ILX, sorry) that hangs in the kitchen,

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6479552081_996c2711a5.jpg

5. Much beloved Carrie poster in Turkish that Jesse gave me for my birthday in 2004. Technically not on the wall at this time but usually hangs over the desk where my sewing machine goes.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6479551689_5ff21845c4.jpg

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.

i love that godzilla poster,

god, i love that zilla poster

poster, i love that godzilla

One of the things I love about the Carrie poster is the mis-match of the stars names to the pictures. LIke SISSY SPACEK as A FLAMING CAR. JOHN TRAVOLTA as PIPER LAURIE. PIPER LAURIE as THE GYM IS ON FIRE.

1. Nautical maps of the pennisula in Upper Michigan where I grew up - left one is a broad overview, right one is closeup of the canal/lake running through the middle

http://i.imgur.com/WSSe0.jpg

2. Painting on wood with some cutout stuff from an artist from my hometown, titled "A Bear in the Yard". The DNR truck is the cage contraption that the Dept. of Natural Resources uses to trap and move problem bears:

http://i.imgur.com/IERVa.jpg

3. Stamped metal elevator certification that I, uh, "acquired" from long since demolished parking garage in Detroit where I used to park at my first job, plus some random Russian propaganda poster of a newspaper sandwich. I have no idea what it says:

http://i.imgur.com/jXzFi.jpg

4. Screenprinted poster from a Sonic Youth show I went to. They had different artists do a poster for every show on the tour and mine happened to be done by this guy whose stuff I've always kind of dug:

http://i.imgur.com/nLNh8.jpg

5. A lithograph I made a couple of years ago, made up of letters and other characters:

http://i.imgur.com/VSuZN.jpg

That skeleton of type is a great idea

jenny, where did you get those ornate frames from??? I LOVE THEM

In two parts.

1. Patti Smith. Four photos, but counts as one thing on my wall, IMO.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/patti-photos.jpg

2. Archie Bell and the Drells, in a floating frame.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/tighten-up.jpg

3. Play Time.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/play-time.jpg

4. The Third Man.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/fluxion23/third-man.jpg

5. Bruce.

jenny, where did you get those ornate frames from??? I LOVE THEM

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.

many xps waaauuuuu abbott I want a framed Archie print!! Jealous!

and now that I went and looked at everything else that y'all have posted I want all those too. I loooove the idea of painting on a map, may do something similar. Love!

The walls of my office cubicle:

1. Watercolor of Big Ben that I bought in an antique mall outside of Hartford, MI.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/6482932643_a7af2d6cae.jpg

2. That Doctors Without Borders map that like, everybody got in the mail and hung on their wall at work, with bonus quipping Kirk-n-Spock.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6482933719_046bc52907.jpg

3. Feminist fist bump.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6482903357_c48318d055.jpg

4. Calendar I bought from someone on Etsy.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6483018115_7a80979794.jpg

5. Map to Pierogi Heaven.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6482884693_b04d1e8012.jpg

there are only two things on my office wall (i only have one)
these two pictures, at eye level, so i can turn my chair away from the room and remember that there is beauty in the world
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6483077279_ecf57a1c8a.jpg

and that i have seen it with mine eyes

That's why I keep the map to Pierogi Heaven.

I want to go to pierogi heaven! Chicago sounds more awesome each time I learn something new about it. Pierogi Heaven!

On the walls of my cube I have:

1) a calendar I got from Etsy (lol thejenny)
2) two cartoons of pugs
3) picture of Benson wrapped in a blanket
4) a card from my boss

None of which are really interesting enough to warrant taking pics of right now.

Kenan I love those Patti/Robert photos!!

that list is the first time i was able to connect curious orange as being E.

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.

Map to Pierogi Heaven.

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.

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

pierogi heaven

i want to go to there

Great thread idea :)

This, as a large framed print:

This woodcut print by Australian 30s artist Christian Waller as a framed postcard I got from the ANG (would LOVE to find a poster sized version)
http://cs.nga.gov.au/IMAGES/LRG/32161.JPG
Along with a bunch of other various B&W pics I took myself, postcardy sized, in littl frames in an arrangement

This is the kitchen wall, our corkboard: many of those postcards are from ILXors!

(also featuring a scribbled pizza dough recipe that I cleverly noted needs "4 cups warm water" and "2 tbsp warm water". o_0

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

He probably doesn't. The jaymc I know likes to eat his pierogies in peace. Metta World Peace.
