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:
I had that very Dave Brubeck record album back in the 60s.I'm more of a decor guy (lamps, clocks, vases, etc.), but I do have a couple pieces hanging on my walls.

Thats pretty freaking awesome!!!!Neiman was huge during the 70s and 80s - official artist for five different Olympics, multiple Super Bowls, the Kentucky Derby, the Master, etc., but most people don't recognize that print as a Neiman - which makes me like it even more. Plus, it just fits in with my style better than his later works.
I'm also a big fan of S. Neil Fujita. In addition to being the art director at Columbia Records back in the 50s, he also did the cover art for The Godfather and In Cold Blood.
I tend to like the design of most things from that time period (cars, furniture, clocks, lamps, etc.).
This is the MasterCrafters Starlight Television Clock (1959) I licked up at Goodwill on my birthday last summer:
Not terribly valuable (definitely worth more then the $6.99 I paid for it), but one of my favorite pieces.
Man Bob Ross was just awesome seems like he should still be here
.
Now I know you are on your meds or just got off them. hahahaA couple of my favorites:
Starry Night by Van Gogh
Scream by Edvard Munch
I've seen your Meyers Leonard jersey already! I've got an actual Portland Trailblazer pot grinder with the pinwheel...top that!
I've probably got at least a half dozen Blazer jerseys. Most are of Blazers in the past such as Brandon Roy. I do remember getting a Leonard Jersey.
Gimee, Gimee, Gimee.
Hey, you notice what I notice? Your skin is wrinkle free. How do you do it?
I'd have to credit tai chi, hiking in a clean environment..yoga, my wife's cooking and staying active...since my heart failed last summer I'm really making an effort to breathe deep, power walk...get with the program. My energy is way better now
and not a drop of booze for about 20 months..I noticed my skin really cleared after I gave that habit up
