What's on your wall? (Might not be work-safe.)
This is a tour of the wall decor in my room, going counter-clockwise.
A hot girl named Vida Guerra from FHM.
An original Star Wars poster.
My favorite "Anti-Drug" poster, flanked by Miss August and Miss March 2004 (left and right, respectively). Not inlined because it contains pornographic material.
http://www.ilstu.edu/~dsorres/pictures/walls/2.jpg
Brother Bluto and George Carlin's list of 2,443 impolite words.
The Shadow Government hierarchy as described in America: The Book.
La Bandierina Italiana.
The women of country. I don't much care for country, but they could sing crappy emo for all I care.
The infamous Kiss and 4 hot women on a couch. Two posters I adore.
A Ferrari poster. There is a small caption above the Ferrari logo reading "decisions, decisions."

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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

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
The Mother Country again, in better days (sans cutouts)
A nicely framed, parchment-based copy of the famous graph of Napoleon's March through Russia, a gift from my uncle
One of these nice Foreign Service maps, courtesy of a family friend
As well as some posters depicting traditional Japanese samurai artwork.

The June image for my 2005 Masamune Shirow calander:
And the mini wall scroll behind it, which Uts got in Japan:
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:
There was more this year on the opposite wall, but I never got pictures of those.

Re: What's on your wall? (Might not be work-safe.)
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.Durandal wrote: The infamous Kiss and 4 hot women on a couch. Two posters I adore.

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

Clever and witty signature to be inserted here, just as soon as I think of one.

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.Tsyroc wrote:A woman I work with was searching through the pictures on some art website and "Kiss" was one of the top ten sellers.

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.
