So a couple of years back I designed a website for a good friend of mine who is a self-ascribed pop surrealist artist.  He recently contacted me wanting some simple changes done to the existing site, and in true artist form he has absolutely no money to pay me.  Instead, he's offering my choice of up to three of his quality prints shipped to me for free.  You can check them out here.

Right now I'm thinking of going with Layne Staley, Hunter S. Thompson and Stephen King as they all three seem to represent different periods of my life that were awesome.  A few summers back I spent several weeks sitting around in the sweltering heat and learning different Alice in Chains tracks on guitar, and in retrospect this period in general seemed like the highlight of the year.  Good friends, good times, bonfires, some random gothic kid with Sephiroth hair stalking a friend's sister and hiding in a tree when we finally got sick of it and mobilized our gang of misfits to confront him. 

You may think I'm slow, but I only recently discovered the life and works of the Good Doctor within the last couple of years.  As much as any relatively normal person could be, I was very much influenced by both his writing and general accounts of his life and researched him for a good six months. 

Stephen King is more for nostalgia.  From the age of 11 to 16 I'm pretty sure I read every book he had written up to that point in time, and even recently I've picked up a couple of the newer releases.  Some consider him a hack, however, I still enjoy the vast majority of his work and think his essays on the craft of writing are very insightful. 

So, click the link and let me know which ones you would pick/which ones I should choose for my wall.

daaaaaamn that hitchcock one is nice

don't really care for the others

there are a lot of good ones but I might pick The Music Died given it's just the three panels and not the background or text.

those are all hideous and i wouldn't think of putting any of them on my walls

This is where I join in with the endless band wagon and quote what I was thinking from another member.... but I said to myself that I'm better then that.

I would get 3 of the Nikola Tesla prints, if only because I hope to one day fill every bare surface of my home with Nikola Tesla memorabilia.

i like octopus's garden but the border and text blow. eight ate is pretty good too. a lot of the others do look terrible though!
