This is a tour of the wall decor in my room, going counter-clockwise.

A hot girl named Vida Guerra from FHM.
Image

An original Star Wars poster.
Image

My favorite "Anti-Drug" poster, flanked by Miss August and Miss March 2004 (left and right, respectively). Not inlined because it contains pornographic material.

Brother Bluto and George Carlin's list of 2,443 impolite words.
Image

The Shadow Government hierarchy as described in America: The Book.
Image

La Bandierina Italiana.
Image

The women of country. I don't much care for country, but they could sing crappy emo for all I care.
Image

The infamous Kiss and 4 hot women on a couch. Two posters I adore.
Image

A Ferrari poster. There is a small caption above the Ferrari logo reading "decisions, decisions."

Images 6 & 7 are the best. I'd post pictures of my walls, but who wants to look an blank white walls?

Damn, I wish you'd posted this earlier. I had a disposable camera with a full roll earlier, but now I only have three shots left.

The northern wall, in an older picture. From left to right: Beavis and Butthead poster, flyer for Tokyo Godfathers from BAAF 2003, a Chinese wall calendar on top of a Monty Python Gumby poster, a display piece from Star Wars Rebellion, an EpI poster from Taco Bell, and my pride and joy ESB poster.
Image

Here you can see a little spacescape piece I got from my jackass brother, plus an autographed pic of R2-D2 and C-3PO that my mother and sister got for me.
Image

On the far left, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time prerelease poster, courtesy of FuncoLand. There's also a launch team member card that's not visible. There's also my FOTR poster, which is the second-coolest thing hanging on my wall and my Bebop wallscroll (#3).
Image

Another LOTR poster with very creepy artwork that's nonetheless cool, plus a Trigun wallscroll I got from an ex-friend. Also pictured is the flag of Ireland and a t-shirt my older sister got in Paris. Not shown are the Clerks InAction figures a good friend got me last November; the picture was taken before then.
Image


The other wall contains a bunch of award certificates and stuff. Not currently hanging on my wall is my laser-etched lithographed of "Tea with the Moon" form Penny Arcade.

I have these two images framed on the wall of my living room.

I love 'em.

Were I in the States right now and with stuff hanging on my walls, I would take a picture, and you would see:

The flag of the ancestral Mother Country, long may it continue to fuck itself up
Image

The Mother Country again, in better days (sans cutouts)
Image

A nicely framed, parchment-based copy of the famous graph of Napoleon's March through Russia, a gift from my uncle
Image

One of these nice Foreign Service maps, courtesy of a family friend
Image

As well as some posters depicting traditional Japanese samurai artwork.

Having only just moved back down to Leeds the only thing on my wall is a framed aerial photo of St. Jame's Park ("Howay!")

Before moving out my flat in Newcastle had the following on the walls:

Homer Simpson composite poster (a picture of Homer made up of lots of little simpsons pics)
Mr Blonde from Resevoir Dogs
Map of Middle Earth in some funky gold style
Two Towers poster in same style as above
Composite Yoda poster
The ever present student Road Signs poster
Poster of the Iraqi Infomation Minister with quote
Land Raider (40K)
Map of the Eye of Terror (40K)
Horus vs The Emperor (40K)
Chaos Champion (Warhammer)

Various artwork & photography mostly, but one poster that seems appropriate for this thread ...

Curiously enough, I took photos today of this very subject. 'Scuse the slightly crap lightshade, it was what was there when I got back, everything else is more or less of my choosing - basic objects of bizarreness - am a minimalist person as a rule.

The June image for my 2005 Masamune Shirow calander:
Image

And the mini wall scroll behind it, which Uts got in Japan:
Image

That's really the only thing we have on any of our walls. Our room technically isn't really that private, since our mother's studio is right next to it, so we often have her clients walking through.

EDIT: I generally have more stuff on the walls of my dorm room. The following images are from two years ago:

ImageImage

There was more this year on the opposite wall, but I never got pictures of those.

A woman I work with was searching through the pictures on some art website and "Kiss" was one of the top ten sellers. When she saw it she and another woman I work with were both saying it was gross. I, of course, disagreed and pointed out that it was done in artsy and tasteful black and white. :D

Okay, now it's time to show you geeks how to make progress towards true loserdom. :D

I've often wondered if it's a good idea to have a poster that says "Size Does Matter" on the wall of my bedroom? ;)

Image

My other wall is just ½wall with sobe screens on top.

Alas, I have no digital camera, so I'll simply have to post links to what I have on my walls :D

I have a print of Refuge hanging on the wall in my living room. I also just ordered a print of The Dark Tower that I'm probably going to hang on the other side of the room.

In my bedroom, I have a copy of This Labyrinth Poster, a Princess Mononoke Poster, and a picture of some Elephants that I can't seem to find anywhere online.

The only decoration I currently have hanging on my walls is a little poster thing containing a photo of a white cat sitting down to a sushi meal in a traditional Japanese-looking setting. My sister got it for me, IIRC, It's cute, maybe I'll post an image of it later.

Well, they are obviously rather prudish, because it is a beautiful photograph. I've actually used it as an avatar in the past, that's how much I like it.

They both are also very Catholic, or at least that was how they were raised.

They didn't seem to have a problem with the idea of a similar picture with two good looking guys instead of the two girls. :)

I really don't think they disliked the picture quite as much as they tried to make it sound. :wink:
