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

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:

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:
