Because they are still in their original shipping packaging. I am hoping that if I post about them, maybe… just maybe, I will get around to buying frames and hanging them up. On numerous Target trips, I have stood contemplating whether or not to purchase cheap, but still kind of expensive, frames. In the end, I always decide against it because of the poor quality. I want to get them professionally framed, but am conflicted because it will probably cost more to have them framed than it cost to purchase the art itself. We’ll see what happens. But for now, enjoy what should be hanging from my walls! :)

I recently got my new posters framed by Azteca Frame Company in Burbank. Sadly, it is hard for me to get a good picture because of the glare from the glass and the odd shape of the apartment. I am really happy and excited about my new wall art and am pleased with the framing. Here are a few of them:
The first picture is before I hung up my original three posters. The second poster is the map of Los Angeles hung up with a cameo of my third roommate, Penguin (he’s a raver and keeps the blonde Flamingo company at night). The third picture is of the living room and includes one of the new posters. Sadly, there is still a lot of wall space left. But, this is a nice start and is making the room look a little better. The fourth photo is the corner of my small cube of a bedroom. The Magritte poster is not new and obviously unframed - but it complements the Walrus nicely.

If you would like to be more like me or recognized that you share similar tastes and want to find something similar but not exactly the same:
1. A Dozen Walrus and the Swimming Diplodocus (the dinosaur) are done by Jay Ryan. Both of which, are not sold at his online store The Bird Machine anymore. However, you can find A Dozen Walrus at Poster Cabaret. I don’t think there are anymore Swimming Diplodocus available because I had to order mine from abroad at the Richard Goodall Gallery. They no longer have them for sale. Note: Jay Ryan does a lot of concert posters, but there are a few that he does of non-bands. I like some of his cat ones. Best bet is to buy it from The Bird Machine store because once Poster Cabaret and Richard Goodall get their hands on them, they significantly go up in price.
2. The neighborhood map of Los Angeles County can be bought at Ork Posters. Along with other big cities.
3. The partridge looking birds sitting on top of one another are done by a Wayne Pate and can be found with a bunch of other cool designs at Good Shape Design. Check it out!

I also am getting Jay Ryan’s A Dozen Walrus for my walls:
One day a year or two ago I completely forgot what a walrus was. I knew I was supposed to know the word. I mean, everyone knows what they are! But, that one day it just did not register. I repeated the word over and over again…walrus, wallruss, wall-rus…but nothing came to mind. Tomato.

Spent most of the day in bed. Tried writing a post, but didn’t have the energy to finish it. Will make another attempt at it tomorrow. A lot on my plate, but unfortunately it’s not food. I’m going to watch Heroes right now. However, today I registered for the 31st Annual Santa Monica - Venice Christmas Run (10K). And, I am also going to be getting this poster by Jay Ryan that I fell in love with to decorate my walls: Swimming Diplodocus.
