What wall art is appropriate for a single guy?

Ryan S asked:


I live alone and have made the transition from college to adult life. The old wall posters don’t cut it any more…but most of the wall art out there is very feminine. Flowers, flowers and more flowers. Cutesy cottages by a pond. Butterflies and dragonflies. Any suggestions on wall art or other wall decor for a guy’s house?

How do I hang up an art poster on a wall (temporarily)?

timothy asked:


I want to hang up either an art poster or a poster board on a wall without defacing the wall.This is going to be at a temporary event.
If I recall correctly, there was something that was triangular in shape, I believe that it was called a Stick-’em or some such thing,and you glued four of them to the wall and you slipped the four corners of your art into the corresponding stick ‘em.
Is there still such a thing available? What do they call it and who might sell it?
Alternately,how else might I go about it? I don’t want to use scotch tape for a number of reasons.
Thanx

What is the difference, visually, (assuming they will be framed) between “art prints” and “posters”

art prints
sorthax asked:


This is for an apartment I share with my girlfriend, we are planning on buying some art to put on the walls and were wondering if framing posters is:
1) too tacky.
2) will look like it belongs in a dorm room as opposed to an apartment.
