[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Building a man room... Need some painting/art suggestions (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 8/8/2010 8:17:49 PM EDT

So I'm moving in a few weeks and have a spare room that I'm making a man room. I need some paintings or art to put up. Something like possibly the heat photo or scarface, maybe good fellas. I was also considering this http://www.modern-canvas-art.com/reservoir-dogs-pop-art-canvas-painting-1316-p.asp

Any suggestions or good ideas? Already planning on ordering a AR15.com lamp for it as well.

Old service station signs. They make a man cave much manlier.

Any art by Alberto Vargas...

Ummm you really have to ask ?

Pin ups for the win along with some neon beer signs and some tins . At my last house I had a full engine elderbrock billet aluminum set in my bed room that I didnt use any more. Old heads for my end table legs and other misc engine /racing parts in the room.

So you upload a picture you want, pick the final size, and it converts it to standard printer paper as "sections?," thats fucking cool as shit.

Framed movie poster, bonus points if it's authentically autographed.

I have an American flag,Gadsden flag, and modern Gonzalas flag, a no trespassing sign, a no puedo fumar sign above my reloading bench, Office Space movie poster, Girls of Brazil calender, Osama Bin Laden target, a 1945 Radway cloth Vickers belt of 250 303 Brithish ammo and a aluminum arrow that I "Robin Hooded" at 30 yards. I will someday have the dogs playing poker.

I have an intriguing room filled with lots of unusual things.Makes your mind wonder.

My gun room has an industrial, 50s, radiological, explosive motif.

HR Gieger's "Birth Machine" and "Safari" (give those a google), are on the walls as well as original civil defense fallout shelter signs, Minefield warning signs, "Danger Firing Range, Keep out" signs

One of my favorite is a pipeline protest sign that says "no pipeline communist thieves" with a huge skull in the middle. I will post a pic later of that one...

It used to have WW2 nose art and traditional "Pin ups". However the wife moved those to the master bedroom.

Man I love her

ETA: I don't know why this poster appealed to me but I spent good money to have it framed

I guess if you are making a man cave, make it a reflection of yourself. As the acronym goes YMMV

That's fucking awesome.

You win 200 internets.

P.S. - One of the smaller walls in my mancave/reloading room is all of the Dillon Precision magazines I have gotten since ordering a Dillon. Probably have about 40 up so far. Whenever I get it in the mail, I hang it up and eventually it will cover the entire wall.

maybe not "man room" material, but i have always loved this art.

ETA: Nighthawks

I do not have the slightest clue of what should be in a man room, but i'll offer my suggestions anyway because i am a woman and cant keep my opinion to myself, right?

"Man Room"!???

Really!!?
Well if you call it that - then you'll need these hanging on the walls:

Winner.

Without "Dogs Playing Poker," it's just not a man room.

ETA: and the "Reflections" painting is an outstanding choice as well. "Martial" art is always welcome in a man room.

Put giant porn pic up on one wall, giant gun pic on the other.

Reproduction tin signs are cheap as hell, eBay or any site that sells them. I have a handful of ammo/gun ones up around the loading bench.

Charles Martel who defeated the Muslims in 732AD in the Battle of Tours, or Battle of Poitiers [ painted by Charles Auguste de Steuben ]
Another one of my favorites:

King of Poland John III Sobieski, who won the Battle of Vienna September 11, 1683 against the muslims painted by Jerzy Siemiginowski-Eleuter

EDIT: both of these men essentially saved western civilization

Check Westley Richards .com. They have some great art and books for MAN rooms.Pricey but great stuff and one of a kind usually.

Art depends on your nationality and personality. Since you seem to idolize gangsters, I'd reccomend papering the walls in vertical wide stripes of alternating dark red and black velvet. Then panel the doors, put in a big battleship desk, a Victorian Leather diamond tufted banker's chair, and some naked statues. Plastic Ivy and maybe even one of those little peeing cherub fountains. Then hang up a couple of DaVinci prints and a pic or two of Elvis and you're set. Hide your gun safe by adding paneling to the outside of it to make it look like an armoir. Try to talk like Brando whenever you're in that room. After the divorce, join the local mob. Pre-dig a few graves out back. You never know when you'll need em. You can use new statues to cover em up.

You should never even compare these two people. A warrior who saved western civilization versus someone [Jeremy] who tries to exploit man's lustful instinct is not even in the same ballpark.
