Any art collectors here? Paintings, prints, framed posters, sculptures......anything really?

Do you own any "works of art" (define that how you will) that you're particularly proud of?

Some pics would be great.

Bought this from a trip to Chester, as to if it will ever be worth anything then who knows. I try to pick up a print etc from everywhere i take a break.

Portugal.

Why are you asking, OP?
Collector, or thief?!!

jp_bl_68 · 23 Jan 2011 at 21:49

Curiosity mostly, but I'm also after some inspiration. My room is looking a little bit dull so I thought some pictures might help brighten it up a bit.

'something to brighten up your room' suggests more 'poster' than 'art'
no idea what you're after?
style?
price range?

jp_bl_68 · 23 Jan 2011 at 22:12

No idea really. I'll find something on my own I suppose. I'm just curious to see what other people have.

I have a good 500gb of pictures at least

I have a Wacom tablet and can pretty much draw whatever you want

I have a number of framed prints.

A meconopsis by Trudi Finch
3 by Georgia O'Keeffe (White Trumpet, Light Iris, Abstraction Blue)
I have 3 more small signed prints (signed RPD 2006 but I couldn't tell you the name of the artist now), all of them blue/green abstracts.

I have a fair amount of glass. This is one of my favourite pieces:

A few swords, they are art to me:

What is the bottom one Muban?

jp_bl_68 · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:22

Looks like an Orc sword from LOTR.

Uruk Hai Scimitar From Lord of the Rings.

ZG002 · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:27

Top two are from LOTR also by the looks.

Muban · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:32

Correct they are all LOTR swords.

Hades · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:33

Ignore

StoutMeister · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:37

Uruk Hai Scimitar

That's the one, thanks

Dunno if you consider it art but I've had these for years.

Got them off DA about 6/7 years ago

I quite like them Phate. The green wall also suits them well.

Something I realised recently I'm quite addicted to colour :/

My room is green and blue, I've got those images up there, the ones underneith you see as well, some on my other wall...but I can imagine now when I get my own place again it'll be very colourful. Probably give folk a headache lol.

ZG002 · 24 Jan 2011 at 00:01

I'd love some colour. Not allowed to paint the walls or put pictures up here, part of my contract.

Will be a different story when I get my own place.

I like how the hills flow nicely from one picture to the next, Looks cool
