    ok so after contacting a few artiest around the world .... asking them for ANYTHING laying around the shop in ANY shape or form....total fuck ups..wrong ink,ripped, pretty much the crap they would throw out....i got one bite from an artiest that has done SOME posters for pearl jam...TCV..FF...TOOL etc etc he ask me what size my wall was (8'x23') .... he then replied with this .........

    You'll need about 45 posters, I can put a package together for you of mixed bag, good stuff no crap.
    I dont have any crap. Total USA $ 300 + postage. Works out at about $ 6.6. per poster
    Let me know
    [/i]

    ....what do you guys think should i do it ..or wait for a few other artiest to reply to my emails ...caue i would really like a bunch of different artiest ...not just one......

    to clear things up im a custom home builder on long island . .....and as for the worry about water pipes breaking ..there are no pipes near the places where the walls will be built ..and as for mold/moisture issue . the basement is temperature controlled .... i plan on making it my MAN CAVE .. im making it sound proof card/music/theater .. going to be a layer of rubber on the studs then "quitrock/soundboard" on the walls ...you will be able to drop a bomb and you wont hear a thing up stairs .... i have built a few HIGH END custom theaters in multi million dollar homes.... so im not worried about anything getting effed up

    and trust me im not going use high priced posters....ill even use creased/torn/ripped up ones ...... so if anyone has ANY KIND OF poster they are willing to get rid of IN ANY CONDITION i would be more then willing to purchase it from you ..

    the only question how to seal them with some kind of clear coat......

    check out an art store.. there's tons of sprays you could use to preserve the posters from fading ect...I think if you wanted a "glass" look.. you might have to epoxy them all but that might take some time and alot of $

    im going to start to finish my basement ..i came up with this crazy idea of using concert posters AS WALLPAPER ...... im talking ....gluing them as if they where wallpaper ..over lapping them .turning them in sorts of ways...... not just pearl jam ..i would have to search the web for some cheap shitty condition posters and i would buy some of those rock concert poster books....etc etc ....

    what do you guys think... any input would be great


    p.s. i seen it in a home mag some guy did it with comics ..he used a lot of first editions ...EVEN A SUPERMAN first edition ........he said one wall had a cost of over $50,000 in comics ...

    and i would be willing to purchase some CHEAP posters from anyone looking to get rid of them in the spring
    That sounds very cool then do the ceiling in album jackets too- from all the decades- I've seen this at a bar on Tybee Island- it was awesome-if I ever get so lucky to own a bar I'm doin it.

    it'd be really cool if they could make all the past tour posters, floor or wall tiles instead; or just the Tom Tomorrow 'Backspacer' themed floor or wall tiles. That'd be epic! Pearl Jam tiled rooms! Yes.

    another reply from what i would say TOP FIVE ARTIEST OUT THERE...............

    Cool idea! I always have imperfect posters on hand that I set aside. If you're into some random posters of various levels of imperfection I can hook you up with a grab bag. How many are you looking for? I think I can hook you up with 30 or so...maybe more. How about $200 for the bunch and shipping included? . You have to send me photos once it's all put together.


    i would be more then willing to spread the love to the board if i have extras ....and the artiest approves of it

    Good stuff! Hope it all works out. You gotta show us all what the finished product looks like.

    look up Dan Grzeca he sells dent and ding tube a lot and you get 5/6 posters for 30-40 bucks a lot of the time

    IO have a bunch of extras I'd sell for 5 a pop, they are from his dent dings

    http://www.expressobeans.com/members/co ... p?id=10954

    anything by Grzeca not Black Keys or Explosions in the sky I would sell.

    I counted 18 of them, I'd sell all 18 to you for 75 plus shipping. know they are dent ding posters so they have random ink splashes and some defects, but to hang on your wall they'd be great. Lot of Chicago local bands

    I would start by getting a few posters and doing a test run. It doesn't make sense to buy all of them right away and -then- try to figure out how to do it without ruining them. You might get frustrated and not go through with it.

    you're basically trying to decoupage with posters. I've done a wall with newspaper clippings... used watered down wallpaper paste and after everything was totally dried, coated it with 2 coats of water based poly. The wetness of everything made the newspaper ink bleed a little bit.

    For your needs, wallpaper paste might not work because the posters are pretty thick. Something called "Mod Podge" might work.. it's a really thick glue and you can also use it for sealing. The glossy finish is really shiny... I'd go with the Matt. Oil based poly will yellow over time so stay away from that and make sure that whatever sealer you use won't yellow or flake. Mod Podge will make things bleed as well.

    There are good spray sealers out there that might help with any bleeding... there are also good spray adhesives for paper. (drywall corner bead adhesive might work!) You'd want to start with totally flat posters.

    You definitely want to play around with it and try different mediums until you find things that will work. You might get the posters up and sealed but you don't want them falling down in a few months!

    Good luck, post pics if you go through with it.

    thanks for advice ..you sound like you know what your talking about ...in the home improvement biz??. i am trying some ideas now ... i think the 3M spray glue works the best so far ..its not wet at all... i got one down then i ran a 24"rubber roller over ...LOOKS REALLY GOOD .... the other glue i was going to use is VCT/linoleum glue adhesive ..it goes on really wet but you have to let it "dry" for about an hour turns into a "snot" like tacky glue...once its dry you got only one shot to get it down the way you want it ...dont even think about peeling it off....the only other issue is "sealing" them ..... havent tried that yet. i think a basic rustoleum clear spray will work....what you think?

    krylon has a good low odor clear finish (matte) sealer that's good for indoor use.

    You've had the weekend to work on this; how's it going?

    if you still need some, I can send over a tube of about 8-12 posters/handbills, just cover shipping+packing materials (probably around $15-20). they wouldn't be anything great, but give you something to test out your idea with

    i remember when i was younger, living with my mam, one of my bedroom wall was just covered in metallica postser, done in the way your talking about, at different angles, overlapping etc.. even some picture discs, have to say it looked pretty f-ing cool. good idea, i have an old shop attached to my house, and one day if i ever have the spare cash, i'd like to get it converted into a games room(probably never happen), and i'd like to decorate it in this style.


    you'll have to post some pics when your done.
