I recently moved into a new place & have somehow managed to finally admit to myself that if I hang the 3 framed Frank Ocean posters, a framed Bernie Sanders print (arguably shouldn't since its the 'We All Deserve a Future' one from 2016 and he clearly does not think anyone in Gaza deserves one...), the damn Chapo Pizzagate poster they did back in 2017, and a fucking framed Dream of the Fisherman's Wife ukiyo-e (it was a CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY SISTER) on my wall - the next person I invite over to hang out and/or have sex with me is going to leave with the impression that I am your average /r/malelivingspace poster or worse.

And yes, for what it is worth, I do have an equal/greater number of actual pictures taken of me, my friends, and family that are already hung up but I'm not getting a 18x24 canvas of my siblings and I at an amusement park when an 8x10 of the same photo is already arguably too big. So yeah, looking mainly for larger wall-art/posters/etc but it doesn't have to be. It can be as small as a 5x7, provided it is actually worth getting printed/framed.

Public domain/stuff I wouldn't be stealing out of the pockets of a living artist if I printed it myself is preferred - but if you have a suggestion that is actually being sold by someone, feel free to suggest it I'm not adverse to spending money on wall decorations/art.

See comment below for some examples of the kind of public domain/etc stuff I've found and put into the Maybe pile thus far.

Thanks for your service.

    Ernst Haeckl was a bad evolutionary biologist but a pretty fantastic illustrator and I really dig his Kunstformen der Natur.
