Posters / Artwork for game room
« on: August 28, 2011, 09:19:47 am »
Does anyone on here have any cool artwork or posters around their game rooms/house? I'm looking to order some since my walls are so bare.

I'm def picking up one of these posters!

I had this done by a guy on ebay. His channel name is wesgrosscustoms. I think it looks great! There are a number of people that do artwork there with different styles, etc and most of them are very reasonable!



Sorry about the angle but it's AM here and my gameroom windows face the east.

I have a poster of this design:

... What I want to do is a get a gaudy gold frame from some thrift store and frame it in that for the living room.  Figured it was fitting since it's both a gamer and arty home...

I really like those!  Great to celebrate the art, not just the box label stuff.

Heh, glad you like it!  It was from Threadless when they used to make posters of some of their t-shirt designs... but I guess it looks like they don't make them anymore, because I don't see the poster anywhere on their site.  But they do still sell the shirt: http://www.threadless.com/product/543/This_is_not_a_Pipe

Currently, my decorations include:

The Poker Chips from Fallout: New Vegas, custom framed with felt. I still want to distress the felt, maybe light it on fire. haha


Club Nintendo's Twilight Princess poster


Club Nintendo's Super Mario poster


Also, I have the Lithograph of Old Snake, that came with the MGS4 Limited Edition guide (I think) and an autographed Luxodon Warhammer MTG card. The card is the Foiled version and I got during at the MTG Grand Prix sealed tournament in Columbus, Oh, the artist happened to be at the event, so I got it signed. Other than that, I have a couple of my paintings hanging on the wall, one of which is visible in the Game Room thread.

I really like that poster. It's simple and classic.  Kinda old skool vibe, but also kid-friendly!

@desocietas Yeah, out of the 3 Mario posters in the set, this one is the best. It was a toss up between the Twilight Princess and Wind Waker ones though...

I have these hanging in my computer room, nicely framed: http://www.telltalegames.com/store/snm-poster-set

Then the living room has these, plus the Last Stand one as well (again, framed): http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=PC108

My husband's favorite, however, are the four blueprints from the original Wing Commander, in our game room. We picked the DOS version up for 50 cents at a Goodwill and it still had the posters inside. Framed these the moment we got them so nothing could possibly happen to them, they are almost 30 years old. Not my pic, but here's one for reference: http://www.wcnews.com/newestshots/full/wc1hornetblueprint.gif

@amauriel oh man, that blueprint is dead sexy. I never got into Wing Commander, I think it was a little before my major PC gaming years.

These are very cool.  I love Yoshitaka Amano's art style very much!
