birds
this is breaking news. i found this site: vintage printables, with high resolution images of birds, fish, botanticals, and all kinds of other stuff.

bird201-834x1000
i had an immediate attraction to this ostrich because he has an obvious swagger, but i needed something horizontal. so i picked another bird, took him to kinkos and had him printed out for $30 at 27.25" by 19.25" (to fit an ikea frame)

and now, over the bed delight. artwork on the supercheap because i ain't got no J O B.

so here's your inspiration pic: go forth and blow some shit up and frame it

    I am always so behind the times. Thanks for sharing this great find - can't wait to print some of this stuff up for my walls.

    P.S. You're too damn talented to be working for someone else!

    Is there a way you could gently "age" or distress these, so they don't look new? Like maybe leave them next to window that gets strong sunlight or something? Suggestions like that?

    perfect idea. ive needed something behind our bed and had been leaning towards hanging from a jazzy curtain rod basically just a decorative curtain (because it was both cheap and large), but the print might be a bit...classier...

    You're the best! The birds are perfect for my bathroom and I love the idea that they can be any size I want.

    Don't you need this to coordinate with your blanket?

    The bird print looks really great! Thanks so much for posting -- I really enjoy seeing what people do with these.

    Thankyouthankyouthankyou. You have just saved me a shedload of money. I was going to buy some rather expensive prints to go over the bed in our new house but now I can download even nicer ones for nada. I've linked back to you on my blog.
