A While ago, Dave O (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinner123 and I were in LA, and he took me to this place called the Echo Park Time Travel Mart, which is part of the 826 group. They provide tutoring and creative writing classes for underprivileged kids. They help support themselves with different themed stores. The one in New York is Superhero themed, The Seattle store is Space Travel themed, etc.
Dave and I went to the LA store, and they had some pretty cool and fun stuff (here's some more pictures from the store on buzzfeed.com's site). They have a series of posters that I thought was awesome. Here are the four:
I went to a framer, and got a quote of about $1300 to have all four done. Although I really like the posters, I just wasn't in the mood to pay that much to have them framed - event tho the frames were awesome, and looked PERFECT. I took 'em to Rob (crimsonsaint) to see what they had at his place, and we were able to find some decent pre-made frames that looked really good. I picked up the finished postes from Rob on Friday, and then after a nice lunch today with mdarnaud I came back to my house and mounted them on the wall.
Lookie!
YAY! ART! and COLOR!
