I've just redecorated my room and I want a nice poster to put up on da wall an ting. Unfortunately finding a decent poster is harder than it seems. Either the camps are set up between terribly kitsch student-style stuff and boring old art prints. Where in the uk (or online) can i look at and buy a decent poster that isn't revoltingly cheesy or deadly dull?

I'm a decent poster, and very cheap indeed.

living wallpaper would be totally awesome, but pretty creepy.

Anybody know where I can get a print of the album artwork for "Tighten Up Vol 2", the Trojan reggae compilation with the naked torso?

Library of Congress offers a lot for sale, or you can just print the high-res images they have (legal!):

seeing a lot of these on ebay via searches and they're all cheap fwiw

Of all the times to be printerless - the higher-res TIFs will give you ~18x24 @ 170DPI, and it takes no time at all to alter color/contrast and clone out the worst marks.

I have a poster version of this Iron Maiden promo shot on my bedroom wall. The blue space buggies they're riding are ultimate.
