oh yeah, I use masking tape. it holds for a long enough time and usually does NOT damage to the originals.

no. I enjoy the art as functional. I like it to be a part of my life, and like anything, life can get messy and damaged. I started putting up covers/posters from albums when Hail to the Thief came out, because it came with a big poster

which I put up on the wall with my other conventional posters..
then I moved and had a bigger room with spacious walls, and wanted something new. I had an epiphany like Saint John the Baptist when I was unpacking my shit and a box of album sleeves and posters.. I said, "duh, these things are posters to put up on the wall! why didn't I think of this in the past 16 years I have had them!!"
thats what they are for gmku, they are
posters
I posted a picture of that collage on the OLD board but I lost that computer and thread so I don't have a picture of it anymore, but it was lovely, and many folks from the old SYG liked it.
