I don’t agree with Portland’s $35 art tax for those 18 and making $1000 year residing in Portland.

I have a few posters, a bunch of maps, and a sports card or two on my walls. I have a baseball card of Brian Holman who was a pitcher who spent time with the Mariners. I remember him because he once had a perfect game going with 2 outs in the 9th and then gave up a home run. I remembered that game so well because my friend's dad was in the other room giving us updates all throughout the game. Another friend of mine gave me some huge movie scene posters he bought in the 90's when I moved in to my current apartment about 15 years ago. He gave me a huge Reservoir Dogs poster and a Warriors poster. It was the type of gift that was on it's way to a dumpster, unless a friend wanted it. One year, him and his girl friend gave me a Nirvana poster and a "Jesus Rocks" poster (silhouette of Jesus holding Flying V guitar). Nirvana is my favorite band, but I hated the poster because it looked like something a 13 year old girl would put on her wall. It was just the band sitting on an Oriental carpet looking into the camera. So, I cut out Kurt Cobain and stuck him in the middle of the Jesus Rocks poster and, put that on the wall. I actually moved a shelf in front of it so I can't even see it anymore. I guess I made that two piece "collage".

Here's one I printed out as a poster years ago.

So basically Bruce Wayne is the antidirivitive of batman. If only the Joker was a mathematician and not a clown.

I love this composition as in many of his works you could be going either up or down the stairs depending on your mood

My wife and I's "shared" hobby has been collecting video games and video game art, memorabilia, and stuff. I can admit it's totally stupid, but I just love video game art work.

We have an entire bookcase that is just a ton of books full of art by concept artists.

A couple of my favorites:

Starry Night by Van Gogh

Scream by Edvard Munch

There's more than one Scream and all are very famous and very expensive. I believe the last one that was sold went for about $500 Million.

Don McLean - Starry Starry Night

I'm more of a decor guy (lamps, clocks, vases, etc.), but I do have a couple pieces hanging on my walls.

The first is a large early Leroy Neiman serigraph that hangs above my stereo:

It's from 1961 and much more subtle than the bold, primary colors of Neiman's later work. Not the best photo (it's behind glass, so hard to photograph without getting reflections), but if you click on the image to see it full size, you can better see the details in the print.

Although it is a serigraph, it is hand signed (in addition to being block signed):

Bought it an an art auction in 1993 on a cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary. My ex-wife never liked it. So, it sat unframed in a closet until I moved out, got it framed and hung it in 2012.

It's a pretty large print - wider than the Danish Modern credenza my stereo sits on below it:

Another piece I have on a different wall in the same space is a Pearl Jam gig poster from 2013. By then, it was officially called Moda Center, but I'm glad the poster says Rose Garden on it.

Again, a crappy photo, trying to avoid reflections, that doesn't do the print justice. The print has so much detail and luminosity. It's a doomsday clock by the artist Emek.

I take my son to a lot of concerts and we always pick up some merch to help remember the shows we attend together. It's often tour shirts, but can also be posters, key chains, CDs, whatever. We got to the show early and were looking at the merch booths and both fell in love with this poster. At $40/each, they were about 2x - 3x the cost of most gig posters, but so worth it. I bought two, and took them to my car and laid them plat in the back so they wouldn't get damaged during the show. By the time I got back to the arena, the poster had sold out. I framed them the following week and hung one in my son's bedroom at my ex-wife's place and the other at my place.

I also like album cover art. So, I hung a small shelf to the left of the Neiman print where I can rotate album covers as the mood strikes. One of my favorites is the cover of Dave Brubeck's Time Out by S. Neil Fujita:
