Show off your art!
Hi guys,
Been thinking about this for a while, what kind of art do you have on your walls?
I usually buy things (canvases/carvings) while on vacation and use them to decorate my walls. I am quite proud of my collection but I am always curious of what other people put up on their walls.
Show em off!
Here are some of mine:
Udapi Wreckers: New Zealand
Hong Kong:
Costa Rica: 30" x 8"

Great thread! I like the Costa Rica one especially. We do something pretty similar, and try to buy a piece of art everywhere we go. I'll try and take some photos this evening and post them.

I have a tonne of pics of my Son and other images that I've taken over the years.
But there are three "larger" panoramas that I printed a couple years ago.
They are 36 X 12 each.

In most of our apartment, we tend to put up a lot of photos taken from our travels. I find those always bring good memories back, and remind me that experiences and memories, not stuff, are the best things to spend money on.

In terms of where I spend most of my time, my office, I use my walls to test out my own work to see how it works at scale. My walls can get littered with printouts, which in itself is kind of art like I guess.

It actually wasn't surfer, although I do have one of his pieces, just no photo of it.

That Witty Nickname sure takes some great pictures.
This thread is inspiring me, with my current art collection very lacking. Good thread idea!

Framed jerseys - signed Phaneuf rookie year, signed Iginla Art Ross winner, signed Bobby Orr 1972
8 framed NHL photos (most signed)
3 framed vinyl album covers, with album sticking partial way out
But my favorite is a copy (obviously) of MC Esher work:

I wish I thought of this piece. I really like this one, punches of color, simple idea, yet a considerable amount of work would have gone into it. Great find Red Sky!
