Where do you guys buy art/hangings for your display room?

[caprogers23]

Hey All, I just finished fixing up my display room and I wanted to make some decisions on things I could put on the walls. I looked at sideshow art prints and also displate. I'm undecided if I should really invest into art or not. Any other recommendations of places to look for quality stuff?

Depends on what you're looking for. I do think it's worth it to get quality art prints, especially licensed ones. Very impressive in person. I've ended up with a bigger collection than I could ever display on a wall so a lot of them are in art binders.

ACME Archives / Dark Ink Art is one of the biggest ones. They're all licensed and limited editions but they have stock you can take a look at. Some of their authorized distributors have older stock as well if you're looking for a particular print.

Places like Bottleneck Gallery and Mondo usually do limited releases at set times. Most prints sell out within minutes.

Some other sites I go to.

Lastly if you find an artist you like in particular, you can see if they have a website where they sell prints or reach out to them politely to ask if they have any available.

Etsy or Ebay. Just search what you're looking for.

Also Cook and Becker for high quality video game prints.

If you've got a dedicated display room showing off all your collectables, then having some nice art on the walls is a no-brainer imo.

And even if you have to move house and no longer have a display room, there will always be walls you can hang that artwork to personalise your place

I have a few autographs - Heath Ledger, Christopher Lee etc.
I quite like framing cloth maps - like LOTR, Witcher 3, God of War etc.
I have a few heavy duty real cinema display posters - they are fantastic, made from either heavy duty plastic or silk, they are also HUGE the one I have advertising the LOTR: ROTK is of the Witch king and its the size of a door, also have a lovely Japanese silk one for Fantastic Beasts with some nice Japanese style artwork of the different magical creatures - both from Ebay.
I have a few MONDO posters - they are beautiful but expensive.

I have a few ideas that I am working on now:
1. putting magnetic strips on the wall and displaying my steelbook collection. Movie steelbooks can be stunning and it seems like an ideal way to show them off.
2. If you have a vinyl collection you can buy wall mounts for them to show off their artwork - I have a lot of movie soundtrack vinyls with beautiful art I want to display (mostly from MONDO, Waxwork Records, Ebay)
3. I am currently buying comic books with particularly stunning covers, or best represent characters that I love, and am going to place a few of them strategically in either overly-large frames or between two large acrylic sheets held together by clasps and mount them on the wall. I'm very excited for it, I have spent quite a lot on the comics all together, but the effect will be wonderful.
