I have several paintings by Maria Luisa Azzini:

Slightly London-centric but lovely and colourful SF inspired stuff.

Plus she's dead nice and has given us free stuff before :D

I like that were did you get it from?

You could do worse that the Range, they sell a wide mixture of cheap pictures including the sci-fi and Marvel stuff.

I've got some Star Trek posters by Juan Ortiz in my games lounge.
There's one for each episode in the style of old movie posters.

I love the ones you've chosen! They're subtle enough that the casual observer won't get it and just think it's a nice print, I'd have something like that in my house. I really like the Star Wars destination tourist prints as well.
My favourite geeky art is my Christmas present from my wife last year. A buffy poster made to look like an old school movie poster, it's amazing.

That's my geeky wall. I have the buffy poster, a box frame filled with flowers made out of Monopoly money which was a wedding gift from a good friend and then there is also a Tegan and Sara silk screen poster, a painting print we bought from an artist in Puerto Rico when we were honeymoon, and my first wedding anniversary gift from my wife which is the lyrics to our first dance song.

I love the Buffy print, and the T&S one is really cool too. I was gutted to find they were playing a venue in Washington DC while I was there, but the tickets had sold out ages ago.

I've only been able to see them live once but I love them. They are so natural on stage and can win over anybody with their chatting between songs.

Same here, just the one live show so far, but would love to go again.

They're great fun. Saw them at a festival many years ago. Would love to see them again, especially as I imagine the experience would be very different!

Not my lounge but I have these up in my game room. My brother painted my Pac-man and my dad painted the Ultimate Warrior.

Bravo!

The plane was actually from Flying Shark (had to check this - fortunately I named the Photoshop layers at the time), and the balloon is the eponymous Crazy Balloon.

This was my biggest selling t-shirt on Redbubble, until Bandai Namco got wind of it the other week and issued a cease and desist. If only there was some easy way people could save a (by definition, no pun intended) low-resolution image and have it printed privately onto whatever takes their fancy...
