My poster collection was inspired by Mel's Poster Nirvana and powered by All Poster Forum. Back in June, while looking for decorating ideas for my new office, I found Mel's Poster Nirvana site and was like "WOW." All those framed posters looked great. Then a little more web searching and I found the All Poster Forum. I want to thank everybody for the kind welcome and camaraderie that has been extended to me.
I was going to wait until my office collection was done before posting pictures. But then it dawned on me that my collection would forever be a work in progress. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures as my collection progresses. Today's pics are just to give you an idea of what I am working on.

Nice digs! Is that a waiting room of some kind? I kind of inferred you might be a lawyer?
-
Correcta mundo, it is my waiting area. I have plans for several walls within the office. And yes, I am an attorney and my specialty is residential real estate. A great career choice, huh. Oh well, the great thing is that we are a gentler, kinder attorney, so I think that I will have great leeway in the decor.
-
Damn, Brian! You have 3 pinball machines in the waiting room? I wouldn`t mind waiting there forever...
-
This is awesome. Really cool. I love it.

Unfortunately, not much of wait anymore. The idea behind the new waiting area is not so much for people waiting to close on their houses, but to help make us more memorable to their agents and lenders. And, I want the office to be more of a hangout for agents and lenders since we are just down the street from County Board of Realtors office and the central banking area. Of course, the 10 cent beer in the Coke machine is also starting to draw in some "regular" visitors. ;D

Pretty darn cool Brian.
I've only got two posters hanging up at the work office (bunches in the office at the house), nice to see another attorney with posters instead of boring old blind justice prints or Atlanta maps or something.
(though I do have a BK specialist friend here whose office is all Star Trek and Woody Allen)
-
That is AWESOME.

Yeah, but one of your two is a Phantom of the Opera insert, which is like "rock beats the hell out of scissors." ;D Thanks for the kind words. Right now I am basically just holding frames with posters I like. I am sure that upgrades will happen during my tenure in this hobby. At this point, the frame expense is no joke.......
-
very very nice Brian.. Also nice to know how you found your way into the hobby.. by pure chance!
I see you don't have any cheese puffs around though.. so I guess you never opened that tube huh?

It is funny that you mention that tube. I have yet to open yours, Mel's or Adam's posters. For all I know, APF has royally screwed me. :o
With your great auction giveaways, I currently have two PF's and one Dictionary. But would those be an upgrade over Daredevil and Buffy ( As I duck for cover.)

Have you been logging into my Heritage account or something? I actually did get the Phantom insert in the last auction, but I hadn't even told anyone that (it's hard to resist early unfolded horror inserts), and it's not hanging at the office.
(One of the posters I have hanging up is a one-sheet for Out of Sight, so you're pretty far off)
Are you ordering your frames from Sue? You should be able to get a good deal on a large order.
I'm glad lobbies are my favorite size to collect - makes framing much more affordable.

here here re lobbies.

Love it! Particularly the posters, obviously, but also the old skool vending machine and the pinball machines. Wish I worked in an office like that! Although doubt I'd get much done... :)
-
Cool office space, ATL. Looks like you still have your work cut out for you, as I see a lot of empty wall space, another great thing about high ceilings. ;D A couple six sheets or some other large format would look awesome on the empty walls. That is a helluva start, though, with a great assortment of one sheets, and pinball/coke machines. I wouldn't mind picking up originals for Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2 someday, to re-live my reign of supremacy at the boarding school I went to back in the day. ;D You're probably the Pinball Wizard with all those machines, huh?
-
Are the posters bolted? If I was a client of yours, I'd just grab a bunch and leave. There are more lawyers than posters.

Very nice office Brian! Just a warning about the pinball machines, they become just another place to store posters way to easy!

I did spend the extra money to have my office windows and doors alarmed. gun2
If I end up with a higher end collection someday, I might have to get separate insurance and stop posting pictures. ;D

Now THAT is a wicked cool office, Brian.
Great choice of posters with plenty of room for more.
One suggestion: Lose those brown weed thingies by the seats. wynk

Do you get your frames from Hollywoodposterframes?

I sure did. Sue is the best. I went with the non-glare archival frames. A little bit of overkill, but the non-glare was important with all the fluorescent lights. As a matter of fact, I have a shipment coming in this week. Stay tuned, for my daybill gallery section........(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/waiting2-smiley.gif) (http://emoticoner.com)

Yes indeed!
Great work Brian.

My Black Swan art deco quads are up. ;D

A class act, indeed.
Rarely do you see three posters displayed together that don't fight with one another.
Very nice.
-
Gotta love high ceilings!
-
Nice set up clap
I'm not sure the Jaws i.e Shark posters are sending the right message for a lawyer though ;D
-
Classy Black Swan display!
-
Thanks for the kind words on the BS. I am so thankful that I can hang everything three high, if I choose to. ;D
I have my daybills up, and I will try to take pics this weekend. I must admit, I kind of like the little boogers. They do not
dominate the space, but still have a classic throwback look with that stone litho printing technique.

Okay, here is the "Wall of Daybills." I really like how they display in a hallway and will be looking to add more. ;D

Most of his last posts were in the liberal agenda thread. I wonder if he took comments seriously.

no
we had email beforehand about that issues as I did with Ted also.
we all agreed that different opinions did not translate to "reasons I'm not your friend"

Below is an updated photo of my framed 6 sheet. IIRC, I bought the linenbacked poster from Bruce for $315. In my opinion, an inexpensive linenbacked 6 sheet is a great way to decorate a wall. I just used thumb tacks to hang the poster through the excess linen, and then framed it to hide the thumb tacks. My office poster count has been stuck on about 49 for the last 4 months. Maybe with some new purchases, my interest in displaying more will be renewed.

Nice; you mean the wife didn't let you hang it in the entry way...

No, after the FedEx man debacle, posters are a dirty word in my house. That is why Bruce and Rich are going to have to start sending them to my office. Yeah, I was proud of my perfectly leveled mitred cuts until I saw your hand made poster restoration work station. I truly only have room for about 8 new poster spots in the office, then I will have to upgrade posters if I want to buy new ones.

Friggin' Photobucket must be constipated in my area.
Can't access or see a damn thing. This is the 5th of 6th time I've hit this thread to see Brian's 6sheet.
I even tried to cut and paste your PB url, and all I get is: Status 503 Service Unavailable
Sonuvabitch...

I don't see anything.

Sorry about photobucket problems. Out of 190 photos, photobucket currently only shows good images for about ten of them. I hope the problem resolves itself soon.

Either its fixed or Im just lucky. The six sheet looks great up on that wall Brian. Enjoy.

Thanks Zorba. Since you flipped the page on my thread, I will just repost the updated photo.

When I was a teenager I thought MY room would look like that someday.
Never happened. But I am really glad to know some people get to live their dreams!

I thought I'd posted on here, but must have forgotten to hit the "post" button...
Anyhoo, those look first rate.. happy1

I plan on changing out this wall soon, so I thought that I would post a quick pic. Almost all of these posters came from my first purchases a couple years ago. You know the stage, where 60 generic posters from a theatre employee for 200 bucks seems like a good deal. ;D

Looks cool to me. Especially the three across the middle.

Another nice display, Brian.
Time to mix it up again, huh?
Nice.

Nice Brian, it's great you have a high ceiling - makes a really cool and strong impact

I wish all offices looked as good as that.
Very impressive.
