I like your Jesus/Truck painting too

Thank you! I will post pics again when I get the rest of them up - I have 2 more rows to do on that wall before I start on the next wall...

I got the Stop Draggin' single for about 20 bucks. The cover is a bit scuffed on the back, but that was the cheapest I had seen it available, so I snapped it up. I haven't seen another one in a while, so I am glad I did go ahead and get it.

The IAF single I did pay a lot more for than I usually would, but I wanted it really bad, and it's in perfect condition, so I'm glad I did. Out of all my records, that is the one that I've paid the most for, but it's so pretty and fairly hard to come by (it was for me, anyway - for all I know, there could be piles of them around and they were just hiding from me, haha) that it was worth it.

And glad you like the Velvet Jesus con 18 Wheeler!

That was painted for me by the Professional Mexican Velvet Elvis Artists of Tijuana, Mexico (tm) and kind of my pride and joy. I also have two velvet Elvii (one young Blue Elvis, and one Elvis in Awesome Rhinestone Jumpsuit and Scarf), and one day hope to acquire one of the famed Velvet Devil on the Can paintings, and a classic Velvet Aztec w/Unconscious Virgin.

It never fails to surprise me that the Louvre doesn't come 'round asking me to share my impeccable tastes in art by curating the museum for them, really. But should you ever have the need of an excellent velvet painting (whether you need a Velvet Nixon or a Velvet Mexican Unicorn), I heartily recommend the fine folks at Indignico, Inc. One day, I will commission them to paint me a Velvet Stevie con Tambourine and a Velvet Mick con Scary Face and then I will know I have truly attained the best there is to offer in absurd wall decorations.

Zombie, those velvet paintings are fantastic!

Haha, glad you like them. The guy that runs the company is a complete hoot, too. Very cool guy.

I dunno who commissioned that one, but it's wondermous. I will definitely commission a velvet Stevie one day, but they are kind of expensive, and I am broke right now. Le sigh.

It'll have to wait until I get my current expensive Stevie art projects taken care of - I have one of the big Rhiannon charity prints and one of the TISL stained glass prints that I want to have professionally framed so they stay safe.

I don't decorate my walls with movie/music stuff anymore (my significant other told me I decorated like I was still in college) - but here is a picture of my "Stevie wall" from about 6 years ago.

Meowi · #38 10-01-2010, 07:23 PM

Aww, you guys are so lucky... I have no memorabillia. I just can't seem to find any (and not that I wouldn't want to have any!)

Where do you guys get yours from?

#39 10-01-2010, 07:30 PM

Really?!? I guess ebay would be an easy start. In the old days I used to go to every record convention and old flea market or book store possible. Not many exist anymore. But, if you have a Kate Bush wall, we'd love to see that! I love her too.

SuperFleetwood · #40 10-01-2010, 08:16 PM

I have the exact same tambourine (rhythem tech) that she plays and a similar tambourine like what she had in the 1975 largo, and a tambourine similar to the mirage tour! lol

Awww! I like your wall - quite jealous of the Uncirculated Rumours albums. Those are the only vinyl that I still have on my list of things to get. Sigh.

I had to lol at what your significant other said, though. I display my stuff a little differently than most of the Stevie rooms I see, mostly because I don't have a whole room I can really dedicate to my junk without it looking overwhelming - so instead of having just one area completely plastered, I scatter my stuff around the house, and try to stick with a general theme/scheme in each different room.

For example, my living room is done in black, white and wine/burgundy/deep reds. I liked the look of those "wall collages" I see in magazines and such, so I used framed black and white photos and framed albums with black and white covers on one wall to do that. It shares space with the big black and white print from A Clockwork Orange on another wall and the group of Grindhouse posters on the opposite wall - but since they all have similar colors going, I like to think nothing looks out of place.

My bedroom is done in black & gray and I will eventually paint the walls dusty purple, so I've got my Wild Heart promo poster in there, as well as framed album covers that have purples and other colors that match up with the blues and such in the WH poster.

And the big wall in the dining room has all of the other framed albums that don't quite fit anywhere else, but they're all arranged in a big grid on the wall, so they look like they "match" even though they don't. There's a photo of what I mean upthread, but I've since moved, so it looks different now - some of those in the picture got swapped out for different rooms, like the Edge promo is now in the kitchen, because my new kitchen is tiled in black and white and the Stop Draggin' promo is in the bedroom due to the purples.

I'm a big nerd. And I also ramble too much at 3:30 AM.

I don't collect like I used to - I kind of exhausted both my funds and stuff I really wanted to own. BUT when I was collecting hardcore, I used eBay, musicstack, eil.com, and similar, and made sure to scour used record stores and such whenever I was near one, just in case.

Wow, Haunted Song- the matting and frames are extraordinarily well done, something tells me you do it yourself, because they are so perfect that I doubt a custom place would do as excellent of a job. Beautifully presented. You definitely have a flow going in how the art is all displayed, too, it's worthy of being a Stevie museum!
