Hmmm. You're right. Your wallpaper makes my fingers itch for a putty knife and a garden sprayer full of Dif.
I suspect that your house and mine look a lot alike as far as quantity of art on the walls. Mine has a perpetual battle for wallspace between art and bookcases. I have a lot of SCA pieces, obviously (signs of a mis-spent youth...). I have a LOT of Michael Whelan pieces. He's one of my favorite artists, AND he's local. His wife is the sweetest woman. I've got a couple of Tom Cantys, a few Kinuko Crafts, and some other assorted artists who have caught my fancy. Almost none of my own work, oddly enough. My old friend Neil introduced me to fantasy/sf art when we were in high school, and I've been a passionate (if erratic) collector ever since.
But obviously once I've beaten my wallpaper into submission, I need to drive out there and work on yours! (That first one is *really* bad.)
