            • Really?

              i thought nobody made art about love anymore. It's good you like it though.

              thommo @MaryMary | 30 Jan '07, 21:25 | X
              • I think it must only be the very Wonderful People

                who make art about love. Or, I might be mistaken and it might not be about love at all, it might be one of those very intelligent ironic paintings.

                I also have a picture of Mia Farrow on my wall.

                MaryMary @thommo | 30 Jan '07, 21:34 | X
                • Hmm

                  i don't think people can really be ironic about love in art can they? i suppose people in art can find a way to be ironic about anything. i shouldn't discount as being a besotted attempt at loveliness though.

          • That sounds very much like my room last year.

            All I had for decoration was a picture of a penis and a naked woman that my friend drew after he'd done about 8 lines of coke.

            I'm glad I don't live in halls anymore.

          • umm

            the only pictures on my wall are pictures of 'mrs' Anschul - and not ones I took either, ones her photographer ex-boyfriend took many years ago.

            I have guitars on my wall instead

                    cool...

                    I stopped geeking about guitars for years, but in the last year or so, I've picked up a plastic hagstrom an english vox and an old fender musicmaster...

                    I well and truly count as a guitar nerd now. Loving that framus...

              • Nothing

                I'm 27, and quite possibly 'too old for this shit'. Although I do have a lovely Mudhoney poster I have to get framed and put up, but that's one of those fancy artwork ones and not just a picture of Mark Arm's face, or something.
