Paid Members gmoney Posted October 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 I put this up in my new flat today and I'm inordinately pleased with it. It cost about 80p for the comic on ebay and a quid for the frame. What shit do you have on your walls/lying around your house?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 That's class. I've got nothing up on my walls at the moment, as the landlord's not particularly keen on the idea, though I'm planning on getting some stuff framed and hung up on some stick-on wall hooks. Chiefly, I've got a huge poster of "Escape From The Bronx", the '80s Italian Escape From New York knock-off that I've been meaning to get framed and hung up in the living room. Otherwise it's mostly wrestling and other tat I've accumulated over the years. I've got five full-size bookcases across two rooms, and a couple of smaller ones, and aside from being crammed full of books, DVDs etc, they've got the odd toy or trinket on them. In the corner of my living room I've got a little set of shelves just for wrestling DVDs and books, and on top of that I've got a couple of styrofoam heads, one in a Great Sasuke mask, one in a Soldier Ant mask, along with a framed portrait of Randy Savage. My other bookcase in the living room has a framed photo of David Bowie on top of it. (There's been additional bits added since then - more trading cards, couple of Funkos, and an awful talking Sheamus plushie, amongst other bits) In the kitchen I have one non-functioning cupboard door - really no idea why it's there - so I've put an old CIWW poster on there, for the Summer run when we booked Tatanka and Ophidian about three years back. Bedroom has a bunch of posters and photos stuck to the wardrobe doors - a few signed wrestling 8x10s, posters from shows etc., a production photo from Withnail & I, a Monkey Island poster, a King Ghidorah poster, and just some other bits and bobs I liked the look of. Just to try and give a bit of character to the place.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted October 17, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 Very nice! I can heartily recommend Command strips for hanging stuff on the walls without leaving any trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted October 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 Books and impressionist art for me, Clive. Pride of place is currently a copy of Camille Pissaro's Rhododendrons, which I fell in love with after seeing it at Tate Britain earlier in the year. Also got quite a few old maps and building schematics framed around the place. Can usually pick them up very cheap from flea markets and antique shops and I think they are both fascinating and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 We have a record display thing that I backed on Kickstarter in our front room. I change it up every month or so. Here's what's in it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chilly McFreeze Posted October 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 My mate bagged me this from the Cinema he used to work at. It's above my computer so I get to stare at it all day and I just fucking love everything about it. Worth a few quid too last time I checked Ebay.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have a huge canvas print of The Amazing Spider-Man #100 (from the original run of the series when comics were priced at 15 cents), featuring Spidey on a chalk outline image of his allies and enemies, that hangs above my bed, lenticular box frames of Spidey and Batman and Robin on the side wall, bobble head statues of Doc Ock, Venom and Mr Stay Puft on one bookshelf and on the one above that, more poignantly, a framed picture of my sadly missed dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I picture TildeGuy~ having blown up canvas prints of the tweets he's received from some Stardom birds no-one's ever heard of. Kinda like what Mac Miller has here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Don’t think my missus would be happy with that, then again I’ve seen what’s in your fridge, you probably couldn’t afford anything mention worthy to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 18, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2018 We have a fair few pieces around the house. I think this is my firm favourite: We bought a few paintings when we went to Myanmar. There are so many incredibly talented artists there and the work is so much more affordable than anywhere else I've been. This dude I bought in Kenya always makes me smile, too. I like to pick up stuff whether small or big when on holiday as then whatever it is has those memories attached as well.. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members stumobir Posted October 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2018 How do you get this stuff back? I’ve passed on picking up quite a few things on my travels as I had no idea how I’d get them home. We travelled round Morocco earlier this year and it was a complete treasure trove of handcrafted stuff that I’d have loved to buy, but there was no way it was making it back in one piece in my backpack.
