BetterWall is a site which rescues old vinyl museum banners and sells them on as art for your walls. And if it helps you justify your extravagance, then remember a proportion of the price goes back to the museum, and you're also helping to keep quite a lot of vinyl from ending up in a landfill somewhere. Unfortunately they don't seem to have reached the UK, but if anyone has $500 or so to spend on me then I could pretty much cope with any of the ones on their site.

Cool!
The second favourite piece of 'art' that I have is a simple poster advert from the Monet exhibition in Edinburgh - just in a clip frame. Not only does it make me look a bit pretentious arty - more importantly, it reminds me of going to the exhibition in the first place.
I have a copy of a poster that was rescued during the renovation of a church. It's John 3:16, but it has been nibbled extensively by mice and cockroaches, so it looks pretty tatty and ancient. I think it's rather ironic that a modern poster has much of the look of an ancient scroll.
