Maybe it's the hunter-gatherer part of me, but I love collecting things. When I was younger, it started off with Marvel cards. Then sports cards. Then Magic cards. Over the past two years, I've collected DVDs (I've got roughly a 500 DVD collection, it's pretty pathetic). Recently, I've started collecting prints. I love prints.

AllPosters.com is having a "huge sale" on items (so instead of being charged an exorbitant amount for posters, you'll be getting charged a lot; I decided to load up on some more posters/art prints for my new collection (I also got a 20% coupon code that you might be able to use: 64P20)

I got a few cool-looking prints last night:


"The Knight, Death and The Devil" by Albrecht Durer


"Apple Tree with Red Fruit" by Paul Ranson


"Great Woods III" by Mary Calkin

I realized last night, looking through posters, that my favorite styles are the war propaganda posters. It all started with this one:


"Madrid, November 7, 1936" (by unknown)

I've always been a fan of the Communist posters from Soviet Russia (I haven't bought this one yet):


"Lenin Lived, Lenin Is Alive, Lenin Will Live" by Victor Ivanov

WWII poster about Germany:


"He's Watching You"

Or


"Helpt" by Jan Lavies

I found an Argentinian print dealer on eBay selling copies of old Spanish Civil War prints ... and I picked up a couple more:

Now to find some cheap Michael's frames...

Posters always become valuable in later years. Keep them in good condition and you kids will be able to cash in on them in about 50 years. :-)
