What is this? I love it :)

weepiper, you're just too talented. Musician and artist, I'm well jealous.

In the bedroom we have this:

It's my 'congratulations on being a dad' present to Mr K. Also there is a large piece of erotic art by (I think) Elisabeth Frink - it's a print as well.

Have a poster of this in a cheesy clip frame in the lounge:

I will go round the house and take pictures of some of the other stuff later. Great thread!

Is that an Ensor? Oh, just seen the tag - it is.

My dad has a bunch of Ensor prints. Got obssessed with him while working in Brussels!

Tis Ensor yes! My favourite one of his. It depicts his sister and her chinese fella being subjected to mockery and gossip iirc. I think I have another one around, I got sent two by mistake. I should give it away if I can find it.
 
we've got this, no where near on the wall, still rolled up in a tube waiting to be framed...:rolleyes:

This is a picture of the giant elephant that came to London. I had it enlarged and framed for Alex's birthday because the giant elephant is the BEST.

My littlun still goes on about the elephant and girl. She was only 2 or 3 at the time but she loved them. I think the elephant may end up becoming one of her earliest memories when older.
 
In our attic room study type place:

and some cool postcards.

This hasn't quite made it onto the wall yet; I'm trying to straighten it out after a long time in a poster tube:

We loved it so much we followed it to Le Havre. And went up to Liverpool for the recent Giant Spider. (((elephant)))
 
Several large limited edition photographic prints by Adrian Boot and Dave Hendley which I got from the Reggae Xplosion exhibition about six years ago, plus some photos of my llittlun, travel photos, paintings from India, some grafitti art and loads of posters for reggae gigs and sound systems.

Couple of the pics:

Good work. I don't suppose yours is a digital pic that could be copied is it? Would love to print one for my daughter. Not sure what I could do you in exchange (unless you like reggae).

Forgot - also got loads of African masks on the walls from a tour of Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana. I tried to get one from each people I met and find out what each meant or how it was traditionally used.

I'm going for that Pitt Rivers Museum look :D
 
Most of our walls are covered with paintings and photos by various family members (lucky that so many people are of an artistic bent!) - though I can't draw to save my life!
Apart from that, there's a couple of old badly drawn Spanish film posters from the 70s advertising soft-porn films - with one featuring a woman who looks alarmingly like Moira Stuart!

Oh god, my childhood. We had one of those hanging in the living room for years. Looking at that has made me feel 10 years old again :cool::cool:

Absolutely. It's a Hi-res jpeg. PM me your email address and I'll email it to you. No need for anything in return, I stole the pic in the first place ;)
 
I have this
nim-rtp006.jpg

in a frame but not put it up yet cos it's too heavy and I'm not good with fixin's for DIY stuff.

We have this
pig.jpg

Up in the kitchen and I have the lamb and cow poster to put up as well if I can find the room.

Now I've tidied up the house a bit I hope to make it more homely and also put up:
hokusai_wave_1.jpg

and the Lady of Shallot that Flashy bought me I can't find a small enough image of and a Pearl Jam tour poster . So strictly speaking we don't have this art up on the walls but I just wanted to post in this thread anyway :o
 
downstairs we have photos of a frozen ditch and an empty bit of sea by artist friends, a couple of jane foster prints and these fuzzy trees by a talented urban artist

i've got a set of prints of jayme mcgowan's intricate cutouts, all circus themed, to go in the kids' bedroom but i can't afford frames for them at the moment :(

i love the original drawings on this thread, and the elephant and johnny cash :)
 
I want this, me:
http://www.ghoststudy.com/monthly/jun03/tears.html

From around 1985 onwards, a series of mysterious house fires were brought to the attention of the general public, following the discovery that in each case, the buildings and all their contents were completely destroyed apart from a painting - the "Crying Boy", which remained unscathed. In the years that followed, some 40-50 cases were recorded in which a house fire had destroyed everything except for the picture. It became known as the "Curse of the Crying Boy", and even made headline news at one point. The picture itself was a portrait painted by a Spanish artist of an orphan. It is said that his studio burnt to the ground, and the boy was later killed in a car crash. The picture is one of the first to be mass produced in the UK, there are several thousand of them in circulation, but the curse still appears to apply to all the copies. It is said that the curse will only effect someone if the owner of the painting becomes aware of it. Some psychics have claimed that the painting is Haunted by the spirit of the boy it depicts.

We used to have one when I was a kid. House never burnt down though - think it may have been a fake.
