(Inspired by the how many posters have you blocked thread)

So how many posters do you have in your possession?

I don't have any posters cause my girlfriend won't give me one of her in her underwear >:(

Two. Neither of them are naughty ones though. :)

One. And it is John Wayne as a Green Beret.

He guards my bed from black people. At least that's what he tells me.

I have loads of movie posters. Because I'm a dirty little hoarder.

I've got quite a few-- my two favorites are

Oh how I cannot wait for that glorious day.


and one that I can't find, so I'll just describe it--
It's Barack Obama in a barbershop, kicking back in the chair talking with the barber.
It just has a great feel to it. As one of my good friends, the president of UGA Students for Barack Obama said, "It just makes him seem like a normal guy. I mean, look at him. He has a hole in the bottom of his shoe. I too have a hole in the bottom of my shoe!":D

A whole bunch of anime ones in the closet because my husband refuses to let me put them up; said he had enough of seeing pretty anime boys half naked on the walls. So we have one poster that if you look at it long enough it makes you want to puke (an optical illusion one) and some fantasy shit.

None.

I have one - a Final Fantasy 12 poster, I admit. Actually, I'm lying, I have two; the second is an Irish flag with the words "The Irish make better lovers" across it. :p

None. Aren't I exciting?

Lots. Many Guardian centre pages, a Smiths poster, a Blondie poster, and flyers from gigs.

None. Aren't I exciting?

Is that a rhetorical question? If not, then the answer is: no, you're as boring as watching linoleum curl in the middle of a wicked summer heat wave. :p

Why no posters though?

A dragon setting some people on fire, a castle, a waterfall, and a Bon Jovi one. So four. Oh, and I have a map of the world that my boyfriend made me put up because my geography is rubbish. So that makes five.

Hmmm... Not too many, really:

A couple of smaller ones from my college days - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and an autographed on of William B Davis (great guy, BTW).
A gigantic promo poster for Return of the King, featuring Arwen.
Smaller Two Towers poster.
Great big dueSouth promo poster on the bedroom door.
And a Babylon 5 TNT promo from StarCon, autographed by Mira Furlan and Jason Carter.

None. The wife does the decorating and I don't care anymore. I did used to have my walls covered in various black-light posters, then I grew up.

Four.

1) New York Movie by Edward Hopper
2) Terrasse de Cafe by Vincent Van Gogh
3) The Fighting Temeraire ... by J M W Turner
4) The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico), Diego, Me, and Senor Xolotl by Frida Kahlo

Maybe that says a lot about me, maybe it doesn't.

One. It is a poster of Bushisms.

I have a contract of my friend selling me his soul. Framed.

We're stuck with him until the 1st day of the 20th month? And I thought he was going sometime soon. :(

I have no posters anywhere in my house.

Oh, I've only got the Lesser NSG set...you know, Dyavako, Nanatsu, and so on and so forth.

I'm hoping to get a Greater booster pack though. Maybe I'll get really lucky and snatch a Neo Art, or even a Fass!

I don't really like posters, so I don't have any.

I have one - a Final Fantasy 12 poster, I admit.
Hey that's pretty cool. FF12 isn't one of the best, but its not bad. :) (You could have done better by getting a FF8 poster of a gunblade, I think.)


Actually, I'm lying, I have two; the second is an Irish flag with the words "The Irish make better lovers" across it. :p

Hmm, interesting hypothesis that poster has. I suppose I shall undertake the task of testing it out over and over and over, until I find out the truth behind it all! :)

I have a bunch of concert/event posters, a few movie posters and some odds and ends, but the only one I currently have displayed is this...

we don't need no stinking posters

cause we makes our own artz, we doez

(do have a coupla pix of the shrine of Bab at night, a stretched airbrush fabric paint of trees sillowetted agains moon or sun, and one of those artz printz of a mediteranian (greek) 'village', half a dozen pictures of trail in the woods, some of my own artworkz, and a couple of oil on masonite by some guy called hunter, whose wife had donated them to a musium i docented at and whose then watchamicallit wanted to through out, so i basically rescued them from a fate no creative expression ever deserves. but no dam pxerz of celbz or any other kind of ugly humanz, other then my wivez one abdul baha, and then there's a greatest name and my catanoma. NONE of them store baught "posterz")

Oh yea! I have a few posters too. A couple of movie ones. Nothing worth mentioning of those. Then I have a small poster that has a group of N. Americans with rifles and says "Homeland Security: Fighting terrorists since 1492" I also have a Jesus poster. It has like 100 names for him on it. And finally, I have a large black and white map of the US on my bedroom wall. It has color pencil outlines on it, marking the various physical boundaries on the US... Like 15 all together. I use it now to plot my overthrow of the country and establish it as the new nation of Zilam! (hmm wonder where I got that idea from?) :)

In my college room I have a lot.

I've got an electric bass poster, this poster of a topless vampiress crossing her arms, a guitar poster, a Black Sabbath poster, a Metallica poster, an Emperor poster, an Obama '08 sign that's serving as a poster, an Amoeba Music poster, a California Flag, a large wall hanging of a celtic design, a print with a cartoon panda bear on it that says in big red letters "fornicate," and a couple smaller things.

No posters - I've never found any I like. If someday I make some art so good it passes my own criticism I may hang it, but until then all I've got is two etchings of fish by John Door. I'd like a Tsarainese flag if I could find somewhere to print it properly. Y Kash'ha grath!

Do maps count as posters?

Many. Reprints, as well as original artwork (not my work; I have no talent).

My wife is a huge Elvis fan, and has at least three 'velvet Elvis' paintings. Which led me to have this (http://www.artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=172560&SubGal=Commissions) commisioned by an artist whose work I dig.

He also did this (http://www.artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=137988), which is my personal favorite piece of original artwork.

More stuff on the artist here (http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=10980), if you like the other two pieces.

EDIT: I guess they're not technically posters; I thought the OP was asking about artwork in general.

Do maps count as posters?

hadn't thought of that. i DO have one wall papered with carefully alighned usgs topo maps of the regeon where i grew up and loved to hike the back country and still, on the rare occasions i get to, do.

Do maps count as posters?

Yep.

oh yeah, i always wanted to get a Pure Metal flag done! i have a little printout of it (alongside a bunch of postcards from places i've visited), but always wanted a big proper flag, complete with poll, for my place. it was just a little too pricey when i last looked into it :(

One, a blue dragon with red eyes and a red dragon with blue eyes coiled against each other in a yin/yang formation.

Seven. I hit up the poster sales on campus.

Just 3, but I'm planning on maybe getting some more soon.


Al Pacino from Scarface
Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston
A dawn photo of a rocky bay with a lighthouse, I have no idea where I got it from, but its been on that wall for ages.
