In my dorm room I have...a lot of posters.
Well more than the average person has. And I think it makes my room feel A) More homely and B) More Mine.
So I'm going to make my blog look pretty with pictures of my pretty posters! Yey.
This is the poster of the room. And it's just something I found one day, it's called...ermm...Étoile du soir by an artist called Mucha. He was a leader of the art nouveau period, which was all very decorative with curved lines and inspired a lot by flowers and plants.
I have this poster cause I like the neutral colours of it and it just seems lovely to have around, I have to admit I do quite like Art Nouveau.
Now, these two.
I didn't actually bring it to uni, I bought it when I was here, in some kind of poster sale that goes on every so often.
Now not sure if you recognise the make but it's David and Goliath and they do a few things things, mainly based at the female audience with little images of cupcakes with faces on them or hearts with glasses talking about loving Nerds.
All very nice.
And I admit, I have a Keep Calm and Carry On poster.
I could have got a huge one but I changed by mind.
It was meant to be a huge moral booster back in the times of WW II but never actually made it to the public eye. They were all meant to have been pulped at the end of the war but some obviously survived and since then it's been spread around and parodied to hell and back.
And even now I think it's a huge moral booster to me, I do love it so.
Now, Tron Legacy.
I love the original 1982 TRON and so when the new came out it was like "Oh~ Really?" and I quite enjoyed that one too.
Partially because Cillian Murphy had a nice little uncreditted cameo in it. And the other half is Olivia Wilde, I love her too.
Now the special thing about this poster is..IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!
Like no kidding, the little blue bits on the Lightcycle and the grid glow and the bits on his suit and the main title.
It only cost me like 2 quid from play.com and I thought, I'm not missing that.
I like glowy things.
Right, now my moody Star Trek one.
It's quite a big dark one and tends to stick out in the middle of my room but I love Star Trek and I really enjoyed the 2009 movie too and so I got a poster.
There was an a film montage poster with Kirk and Spock and a huge space scene thing going on but I chose this one cause it has my favourite character in it.
On the faaarrrr right there's like Chekov. So cute. Anton Yelchin is just amazing, kinda reminds me that I need to watch Fright Night.
Now my Exploding Tardis poster, also from play.com
I love this poster for two reasons.
1) It's Doctor Who, and I love Doctor Who
2) Style of Vincent Van Gogh, who happens to be like my favourite artist of all time.
It's huge. A lot bigger than my other one and equally as annoying too. The amount of times, I've come into my room and it's falling down or has fallen down, is ridiculous.
It used to be right next to my bed before so it's a but tattered where I've kicked it or caught it on something, but it's good still.
It's pretty much, my first poster and I got it at a car boot.
"How much is that?"
"How much you willing to pay?"
"A POUND!"
"Grandma! It's worth more than that. Two pound."
It cost me 3 in the end but then again it seems my grandma and I are both stingy.
My X-man First Class was free at a Forbidden Planet store, and I got it cause I love posters. And it was free.
But then again I did really enjoy the movie, despite the fact everyone else seemed to hate it :/
Now for the last two main posters.
The first of the last two being Puss in Boots.
This was a Christmas Present from one of my best friends, Imogen and I love her to pieces for it.
And it directly opposite by mirror so at night and when I wake up, I see these adorable eyes :3
Strangely enough I bought it when I went to Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows.
As for my Chronicle one, also got given free from Forbidden Planet, they're so nice.
And I did love the film too, it was original and I really enjoyed the whole thing apart from the fact you never found out why they had powers. And the ending was boring with the cousin talking into the camera like "you did it! well done." Boring.
I get them from Manchester in Afflecks Palace and they're like 4 for a tenner.
The first ones I got were the red one, Fullmetal Alchemist and the middle one, Hope from Final Fantasy XIII. Then the others are Ciel and Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), in the top left and bottom left and the last one top right, is from Hibari and Dino from Reborn, my favourite characters.
Right! That's me done, and I know it's all waffle so thanks for staying this long if you have.
Check out some of the links and expand your horizons, and I'll see you next time.
Probably tomorrow, cause the whole OIPP is due in on Friday D:
