Living, according to myself (single urban male, 25 on a medium income; yes i have a background in social studies).
I will try to pop write and bookmark my way through renovating my apartment. And procrastinate while at it

Living stages

Looking through my daily art sources, mainly on quest for inspiration but also to take my mind of work for a couple of minutes, I find a bunch of things that I would gladly frame. So many that the choice will be really difficult and I might find myself taking advantage of this platform, write less and bookmark more.

Dividing things up into categories, I found that I am mainly interested in three or four themes (previously mentioned): these are

  1. seduction, sexual tension etc.
  2. retro things (comics go here, but also memorabilia, iconic objects of past decades)
  3. urban symbols (because this has had an enormous impact on my growing up and should be defining the rest of my professional activity and lifestyle)
  4. typography

And I’ve come up with the decision that the best way to merge these is to assign each one a separate wall: I have three walls I will paint white, I will give each one a theme.

And it only makes sense that I would hang no. 1 on the wall the living room shares with the bedroom. Sitting on a couch on that very same wall I would be facing the hallway, so it would be expected that I frame some cityscape on the opposing wall. And since I really don’t watch TV but I always do when I have the chance, that wall could be the retro one. Maybe I can find a vintage TV set…

Typography is more general and could go on the fourth wall, across from the TV. Wordart and type might be a good way to improve the view: depressing buildings, just like mine.
