My Zany Home Framed Collection

The "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" seems an odd choice for a man cave...or is it just me?

If I'm not mistaken, that poster is in his office at work.

Oh ok...I thought it was in the man cave.
Nice poster, but I still reckon it's a bit out of place among all the posters with perty girls and monsters.

Perhaps fallen is right

I thought he simply replaced the Midnight Blue quad with that one because the girls kept running away screaming.  This one shows Mel is a new age, sensitive guy who can be trusted

Or might end up being a head case that will eventually cheat on her:

Tall Dark Stranger Plot Summary...
In London, Helena Shebritch has a broken heart since her husband Alfie had had a third age crisis and left her seeking his lost youth. She meets the charlatan fortune teller Cristal Delgiorno and follows her esoteric advices believing in the power of prophecy. Alfie meets the younger call girl Charmaine Foxx and proposes her. Meanwhile, their daughter Sally Channing has financial difficulties with her husband and aspirant writer Roy Channing. Roy is graduated in medical school but has never worked as a doctor since he had written a successful first novel and decided to follow the career of writer but he never succeeds in writing a good second novel. Sally starts working in the Geller Gallery and has a crush on her handsome boss Greg, while Roy peeps and flirts through the window with his neighbor Dia that is always dressed in red. When Roy's poker friend Henry Strangler, who had written a magnificent novel and showed only to Roy, has a fatal car accident with their other poker friend Mike, Roy misunderstands that Strangler died and he steals his manuscript that is successfully accepted by the editor to be published. Their lives change when Helena meets a widower that is her twin soul and Alfie finds that he is a cuckold and Charmaine is pregnant. Roy and Sally split, and Sally, who had fantasized an affair with her boss, finds that Greg sees her as a co-worker and friend only. Further, her mother will no longer lend a large amount to her to open her own gallery following Cristal's advice. And Roy, who moved to Dia's apartment, finds that Strangler has not died but is in coma instead

Any more photos Mel of perplexed neighbors? Any neighbors concerned about the fire hazard next door?(!) I'd pay 20 bucks for the tour.

[kovacs01]

And now for the awards......voted building resident most likely to be a serial killer.............

[50s]

BTW, yours truly designed this flyer and is on the tour this month.  Guess I'll have to put up my "classy" posters (do I have any?):

Visitors may have been expecting art and decor which is elegant, sophisticated, soothing,...


then stopped by Mel's apartment, and, were exposed to this! :

Thanks for the Bronx Cheer!

[brude]

I'll pass on Tammy and take a double-dose of the Reynold Brown aqua-babe action, thank you.
Great posters, Mel!

[50s]

I like the above too. Also impressed you have a frame for an italian poster 

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

My "This Gun For Hire" "fan art" 27x41 poster, which combines the one sheet and the half sheet, turned out pretty well and saved me $20,000 to boot!  I have it in the corner of my office.

[Bruce]

Nice job Mel! I imagine around 20 or 30 years from now this will turn up on the Antiques Roadshow and will be declared a previously unseen "Style B" with a value of $20,000 to $30,000!

  Very well done tribute poster, Mel.  The hobby is lucky that you use your skills for the betterment of it and have not
turned to the dark side.

Yeah, well done Mel, looks great. I am also impressed you seemingly easily and frequently get your posters up onto the walls to enjoy.

It's harder than it looks Stewie. It took several hours to get from A (damaged small source photos) to Z (full-blown 27x41 polished poster) and very few people on this board could do it. But of course a project like that is not the equivalent of creating original art.

And ? ? ? ? Finding the sources and thinking of the design probably took the most time.

Mel's created it, printed it and has got it up displayed... More than most of us have the energy to do

There is no "And ? ? ? ?",
I wasn`t mocking Mels effort or skill in producing the poster,it just does nothing for ME..

No doubt Mel,your photoshop skills are very impressive.the restoration job you did on the BOF was second to none.
This one Im not so keen on,thats all.

Its sooo much fun finding a tube and not knowing whats in it!! the GF thinks thats a sure sign that I have a problem .. all too often I get tubes in the mail and have no idea whats in it ..

Funny - I've yet to forget to open a tube or - even worse - throw away a tube with a poster in it but it's bound to happen.

Well in my defense .. I literally have a half a dozen tubes on my dining room table (aka where I flatten most posters out before they go in the flat file) as well as nearly a dozen spread out in each corner of that room and then twice as many in the corner of the living room (room adjacent to the dining room).. I typically open the tubes asap and get the posters on my table but one must have gotten shuffled to the side here or there
