the writing is on the wall.

okay, not writing. but some paper. the ex moved out and all his show posters and cool album covers came off the wall. blank walls bother me something awful, i cannot look at them and they make me feel sad, anxious and empty, but being short on cash i couldn't invest in any cool visuals or framing.

i turned to blockposters.com, where you can upload a jpeg and then print a giant PDF mosaic.

first project: josephine baker, in the living room.

i started with this image:



i printed black and white copies at kinko's fedex office or whatever it's called because they are cheaper to print and my printer is out of ink. i also purchased a whole bunch of command poster strips.














it turned out pretty cool so i did it again over the bed in the bedroom. color printouts this time. big spender!











next i think i'll do this image, across from the bed, so i can wake up and see what i really care about: booze and shoes.



kidding! sorta. not really.

"i want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares."

oh. how i love saul bass. more here.

more things to hang on the wall

just ideas. just things that might look good. (primary colors, the contrast of black & white, animal prints.)
