I suppose I could run some tests to see if it’s measurable. But to be honest it’s a living room in a small house not a critical listening environment. I’d rather have art on the walls. This peice has glass over it for protection. It’s done with colored pencil, water color, and ink so it’s a bit more fragile than oil or encaustic that my wife also uses.

Robert Addison was an artist from Illinois who depicted items falling into disrepair (merry go rounds, plows, barns). This was a theater on the northwest side of Chicago. If memory serves me correctly, Mr. Addison sued Styx over their rendition of his artwork on their Paradise album. I do not remember the outcome of their legal proceedings.

I’ve been collecting and making art for most of my life. At the moment, all the art with audio equipment is with the smaller second system in the main living/dining room area.
A nice Nepalese Green Tara from Kathmandu, I made and painted the wood shrine with inspiration from the Amarna caves in India.
A 20th C. reprint of Hokusai’s “Mountains and River on Kiso Road” with three of my bonsai. The tropical bonsai aren’t too fond of this 30 degree weather we’re having Florida.
An etching by Frank Black and a collograph/collage by Erika Schmidt.
A cyanotype by Arturo Herrera
A painting by Iva Gueorguieva
A couple of my Sueseki stones to accompany bonsai displays. I carved the wooden “Daiza” bases for the stones.

Great artwork! And I love the light fixtures in the second pic.
Thanks. Those lamps are from Rejuvenation. https://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/categories/lighting/chandeliers?cm_type=gnav That chandelier design has been discontinued but they always have several mid-century inspired designs that are very stylish.

Here’s a fast bunny named “Veggie Supersonic” purchased from Shawn R. Harrison at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival years ago. I should lend this to @aangen

Due to their left brain / right brain issues most artists I know dont have a real use for time. My good fried Marion Anderson (who just turned 100) doesn’t have a calendar or clock in her studio.

Yeah knowing the artist that figures, she’s never owned a watch I don’t think

I think time concerns and artistic creativity cannot live together in the same brain. They must be mutually exclusive for either one to work correctly.
I dont have much if any true artistic ability but my watch reads in tenths of a second

This hangs behind our left speaker. My wife painted this and gave it to me for Valentine’s Day 6 years ago. I asked why she didn’t put our initials in the heart. She said she didn’t want to have to fix it if I annoyed her.

This is what my art work looks like at the moment.
The black & white is a framed ‘LP paper bag’ I got when I purchased a Georges Moustaki album back in 1974 while I was in Paris walking up the Champs -Élysées.
I had heard the singer while living in London and I decided to purchase the album.
I really liked the art work of the bag and decided to keep it until such times as I could frame it, (which was many years later)
A picture of the singer and the ablum I purchased.
I believe the picture next to it does not need any explanation…
The other pictures are jigsaw puzzles my wife made and framed although, I did help in getting the text on the abstract which I think is kind of cool.
Behind the hot-seat is a traditional Pendleton blanket I obtained while visiting the Pendleton factory in Pendleton Oregon. I also purchased it a long time ago and was waiting for the right moment to hang it up also.

That’s really cool way to keep that memory alive.
Yep, This is why I kept the bag. It was such a very Nice store. Well laid out and carried an interesting assortment of albums. But art work on the bag really intrigued me.

Here’s what us uncultured uncouth heathens who never got married or ever grew up consider ‘art’ in the soundroom.
Cardboard Tuborg promo from the 60s (About 2.5 feet tall)
Brass treble clef & notes - about 3 ft wide
A vintage JD poster (The stains are part of the poster)
Stickers that were on the albums you bought in the 80s (STILL there because the soundroom used to be your childhood bedroom)
An 80s Rugby pants advert (and Perrier) you (allegedly) stole from bus stops when you were in University.
And naturally, the obligatory googly eye subwoofer test:
Embrace you uncivilizedness and unsophisticatedness!!
For me, cool & unique stuff always trumps nice stuff. Uh, clearly. Ya well, I still eat right outa the pot.
(I can see some of you wide-eyed with your hand covering your agape mouths…)
I always wanted to paper the walls and ceiling with the hundreds of album covers, inner sleeves and records. But then again, I also want to save them as a collection too…
Torn.
Nyeh, I’ll grow up when I’m dead.
Maybe.
