I LIKE BORING THINGS…

Finally! It will be mine – after months of hunting and endless waiting…

I have finally put in an order for one of my favorite Andy Warhol quote posters. I have been on the hunt for this poster for months. First of all I checked out the modern museum in Stockholm – they did not sell it via their online shop – so then I had a choice; fly to Stockholm – buy the poster – fly back OR go on a bananas hunt on the internet. I chose the latter – since I did not find enough reasons for taking a trip to Stockholm besides the obvious one of getting a poster… Then after hours of hunting online – I came across a blog – unfortunately this is so long ago I do not remember which blog – but that is not the point! This girl had found an online shop in Japan that sold the posters – I almost ended up weeing my pants at the idea of finally reaching my goal – the poster!  I rummaged through the online shop just to realize they were all sold out – in desperation I sent them a pleading email asking them to restock… I didn’t hear from them – and my obsession slowly died – until today… They got back to me – and they have restocked – and I have sent in my order – and I just might wee my pants… I must admit I almost ended up putting in an order for all four posters – but after some heavy breathing – I decided on the “I like boring things…” one (H put his foot down). I will be waiting by the mailbox for the next couple of weeks – can’t wait to hang it on my empty walls – just need to decide on a good place to hang it – oh the joy!

Here is some inspiration to keep my obsession going:

POSTER THIS!

I am doing my best to hunt down some nice exhibition posters for my walls – or any exciting posters to be honest. . . I have found two amazing posters from a Yoko Ono exhibit at the modern museum in Stockholm – I might just have to get them. . . I’ve had a long found crush on the Andy Warhol quote posters from the same museum – the issue is just the fact that they do not sell the Warhol posters in their web shop – which means I will have to head off to Stockholm just to get a hold of them. I have actually considered it – but at the same time it seems like a lot of hassle just for some exhibition posters. . . Well I am trying to figure out what I want – and where I want it. . . Here is some poster inspiration I’ve gathered together. . . And if anyone knows of a brilliant place to get some good posters or huge prints (I want 70×100 cm’s in my hallway!) then give us a shout!

ANDY ON THE WALL

I (M) am a huge fan of self portraits, I have done my fair share myself, mostly because I know more people who hate being in front of a camera than i know people who love a camera close by. After me and H went to see an art exhibition in Oslo last summer containing some work by Andy Warhol I have been noticing some amazing self portraits done by him. I have decided that I want Andy Warhols face on my wall. I think I have decided on some options, since it will be my house warming gift to my self I still have about 2 weeks to decide. The choice is between:

This is the most likely outcome.

I do also love the drag collection. He did look amazing as a queen.

This is the last option, I love this because of the look on his dace and the way the white eyebrows stand out.

I hate choosing, most likely Andy and Skull will be hanging on my wall in a couple of weeks time. Which is your favorite?
