Bigger box!
Yes, yes, I know you can't tell me what art I like!

That's not exactly what I'm after, but there's bound to be someone here who can help out....

I have general ideas of what I want, but I'm having trouble tracking stuff down and you guys are the tried and tested best internet detectives bar none!

To give you an idea I'm a huge UFC fan, bit of a computer games geek (but I'd only consider the classics (FFVII, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong Etc..)), and I seem to be quite fond of Japanese culture/art.

I've got this to sling up:-

Which I'm a big fan of, but the reason I've got it is that I managed to track down a signed copy of the poster for the first UFC even I attended live, so it's more of a personal thing rather than just a poster from an arbitrary event.

I'd love a large Street Fighter II Champions Edition Poster

But I can't find any larger than A3, where as I'd much prefer A1 or even A0. I've contacted a guy from e-bay who prints them to ask if he can do larger but not heard back...

There's a photograph called 'Yakuza' by a Japanese photographer called Nobuyoshi Araki that I like, but I'm not sure firstly where it might be appropriate to hang it in my place and in any case I can't find any prints for sale.
(wasn't sure if I could post it here so you'll have to google!).

I've also used this in rotation as my wallpaper on the PC for years..

I've always liked it and the art style...

Anything I get I think I'd like to be quite large.

So, bored Sunday OcUKers, any ideas where to find similar stuff?!
 
just a personal opinion .. If I ever wanted to get laid again I wouldn't be putting up huge video game posters (or posters of semi naked men for that matter).

Just a personal opinion .. but i thought posters of semi naked men is exactly what scousers put on their prison cell walls if they wanted to get laid :D

Strange you should say that because I'm quite clued up on what blokes put on their cell walls ; I work in a nick not too far away from you :)

Such as? I'm open to suggestion. I think I've over googled it, don't like anything I look at right now..

Well I wouldn't prescribe myself as the height of cool (this is a lie, I am) but perhaps put up some photos you have taken yourself when on holiday? I'm in the process of doing something similar.

I actually bought these local photos recently from a street seller and I think they look great (went frameless because they were overcharging, will be added in due course):

Well I like them anyway :p
 
If I had my own bachelor pad I'd have it full of Android Jones prints. I rarely like abstract/new-age art, but his stuff... there's just something about them, I think it's the eyes. Amazing stuff.
 
reminded me of this gorgeous looking wooden poster i saw in a thread on OcUK a while back:

There are other car models available as well, just search for "wood sign" here: http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/Ferrari-F1-Vintage-Bandini-Wood-Sign-Posters_i9270221_.htm

and the thread is here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18483464



Code WAVE89 gives 20% off and free delivery (it's loads for this print) today only, I just got it for 23.99 delivered. Awesome present for my dad!
 
You could get a massive poster of Sailor Moon and put it up in your bedroom.

At least this way you'll get some sexual action, even if it is masturbating to a Japanese cartoon character (THEY'RE NOT CARTOONS, DAD!) whilst sobbing quietly.

Dude, it's a bachelor pad!! I'm 33 and single. Regardless of what's on the wall there will be a lot of self love, shame and gentle sobbing....
