[Closed] Friday Artwork - what've you got on your walls?

In my lounge/front room -
I have a Rosemary Firth painting of some woodland
2 pictures done by my son for his art GCSE
an ink drawing of my dog done by myself
and a Record Roots record holder with 16 album artworks displayed (current theme, black & white).

Blimey. Off to take a few pix.

I have this one behind me (although as it's an ancient poster, the orange is now pale yellow):

And this one in front of me:

This poster is on my office wall

And some photos from walks & rides on holiday

In my lounge at home i've:
A huge (a2 maybe) map of Watopia!
A huge pencil drawing of a fox shock (i wanted to buy the original, but it sold, so this is a print.. got it through STW!
A print of the STW lockdown cover
A few original printes of a you tube artist my lad likes that I can't for the life of me remember... vesta? vector? something like that. Really bright and vibrant..

The framing probably cost the most - i like to use non reflective glass!

DrP

Brumhaus

Birmingham Colour Palette

Geraint (not strictly artwork I guess)

Hannah Cole

@lunge - I absolutely love that Brumhaus print! Really simple but every building is instantly recognisable

Liking the Hannah Cole 🙂

@binners, it's good isn't it? We've got a couple and they're awesome. Wonder if anyone does something similar for other cities?

I have a Binners 🙂

Frame TV so all the stuff on there

Leonardo exhibition print

Design museum HOPE print

Degas print

Various of my own B&W pictures on metal

Elizabeth Walker original screen print

Greasy fingermarks, the odd bogey and some unidentifiable "material" (but definitely of human origin). Kids, love em 😀

Did'nt realise there was so much on the walls.

I have this wood veneer marquetry album cover I did a few years ago of the second best band ever.

Gabba Gabba hey!

PS Couple of odd one in the collection.

Britains Deetail Toy Soldier Poster and actual model display. I collect these, if any body here is clearing an attic and come across any.... I'm always interested 🙂

Dont throw them away...throw them over here 🙂

I have a large, original signed print of this, by my favourite photographer, Laura Panack, on one wall:

some of my album display looks like this. Can't remember them all

@kelvin - Your Hac print will have been designed by either Graham Newman or John Mackland, both of whom were my lecturers at uni 🙂

I’ve got this up, which is possibly my favourite because it was hand drawn with Rotring pen and marker by my old mate Matthew Poscah as a 50th Birthday present

And this massive one

I’ve got some of my own Aboriginal artwork purchased in the Northern Territory… but because we’re in temporary accommodation there’s lots of my in-laws’ paintings, too. Australian landscapes, PNG woodcarving, more Aboriginal paintings.

Very nice.

Last thing I put up was this - one for the Twin Peaks fans...

In my spare room, which I planned to use as an office but ended up working in the lounge, I have a bunch of my portraits done on iPad stuck in a huge post frame. I'll put an example up if I have one online.
Here's one

What the heck is an "original print"? Surely it's one or the other.

What the heck is an “original print”?

Maybe a limited edition print sold by the artist (eg. https://elishaenfield.co.uk/store (personally I wouldn't use the word original, it's a print)), or if the artist is a litho-printer, an original of one of those...?

Let's see if I can get these pics to work.

Study - signed NMA poster, signed Levellers print and ticket from a great gig in Germany

Cheap prints from gigs in Bristol

Hall - Commissioned original painting from Joolz Denby - 2m wide canvas (and decorating junk)

Chalk original from a Cornwall artist in dining room

I couldn't take a pic of this, but it's the 'Known Pleasures' print of the highest fells in the Lake District

Bottom of stairs, print of the Struggle by a local known pie botherer

And my favourite, brand new commission from the aforementioned binners. A view over Ambleside to Loughrigg. It gets better every time I look at it.

Large (nearly 1.5 m high) slightly ghostly dual exposure picture made by my sister a while ago sits under the skylight on our landing.

Maybe a limited edition print sold by the artist (eg. https://elishaenfield.co.uk/store (personally I wouldn’t use the word original, it’s a print)), or if the artist is a litho-printer, an original of one of those…?

Yes it's this. In the world of fine art photography the notion of a 'print' is confusing becuase there are so many ways in which it can be done (and each has a different value).

The ultimate is a 'hand print', which means it is made using the traditional method of exposing an analogue negative, via an enlarger, onto photographic paper. Usually that is a process done by a specialist printer (indeed most photographers will prepare prints via a specialist printer) with a great deal of care and attention to things like dodging and burning. The results are stunning but it's hugely costly.

After that you get C-types and inkjet prints that are either sanctioned and supervised by the photographer (hence 'original print') and thus usually signed and numbered, or they are just reproductions, in which case they aren't 'original'.

Of course you could also have something like an original Ricahrd Learoyd where the negative is the final print and that's the only copy that can ever exist because there is no negative. He shoots direct to positive print using a camera obscura and his work is sublime. It's worth checking out.

A Freedom Comes with a Chain print from Helena Tyce Designs. It's slightly different to that currently in her Etsy store. Mine doesn't have the chain between text and image and has a light background with a sun on it, not the black background.

I used to live in Margate and a local gallery had a nice colourful print of Margate seafront I really liked but never quite managed to find the cash for.

Would love to buy original art for the walls.

Above... I like both of Kelvins, and Binners 50th hand draw with a Rotring.

This in the hallway.

And a couple of Mint Sauce original [posters in the bathrooms.

And a Ron Lawson Berneray bay painting. Can't find it online.

Surprise 50th birthday present painted by girlfriends sister, Clare Fearon

Also have a time-lapse video that she made of all the individual layers that made it up, shows the hidden birthday message 🙂

Like this one? This is in the kitchen next to my Unknown Pleasures image which is worth looking closely at. My friend Clare, who just does amazing things with paper, did it for me. It's the design scalpelled out of a sheet of white A4 card, then placed over a piece of black card. I often find myself staring at it and marvelling at the work and the precision that's gone into it

And here's SC-XC's Ambleside image, which by the looks of it is in some pretty esteemed company

I do love seeing them up where they're meant to be. Especially in such a great looking space

Got a bunch of silkscreens by people like Tara McPherson, Brad Klausen, Ames Bros, Justin Hampton etc

And various litho prints by Obey Giant/Shepard Fairey, Rhys Cooper, Sit , Ken Taylor, Deathburger etc - some numbered/signed others just open runs.

And loads of others that need framing.

He's got the Whole World, On his wall

Lurcher Wesenden

2 foot seal at the top of the stairs. Bought on a 3 month stint in Helsinki. Took me 5 years to get it framed. The boys say "goodnight friendly seal!" on their way to bed.

Saimaa Ringed Seal does not live anywhere else in the world than Finland Saimaa. The Saimaa ringed seal is critically endangered – it is facing an extremely immediate risk of extinction in the wild.

Erik Bruun drew the ringed seal in the 70’s to draw attention to endangered situation. The drawing is now Finnish Association for Nature sign.

self portrait of my lad with our first dog. It's not artist quality but it has a special quality to us

Love that NMA, Culture Shock and Subhumans stuff sc-xc. 😊

Some spacey stuff (do I need to take the CCCP one down??) and some colouring-in by a bloke from Bury 😙

My living room has four paintings by Shani Rhys James and four by Richard Fitton. There's quite a bit more dotted about the house. Lucky to have it.

Some lovely pictures on here. Unfortunately I just have fingerprints and pen marks. My youngest stashes pens somewhere and then breaks them out when we aren’t looking!

It’s not artist quality

It most certainly is. That painting has a style of it’s own. Love it.

We have some Simon Stålenhag prints through the house.

the only thing of artistic note other than my own doodles is this videoanimation still

name that video !
