Printing custom posters

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

What happened to the thing from that time I said I'd get a bunch of custom posters that I'd design myself and put them on all over my apartment? Couple of different things.

First, it turns out AI-generated art is not that awesome. It is specially unsuited to being scaled up and printed physically. The artifacts are not pleasant, and it's that weird hump, that is really not pleasant to watch and appreciate.

Second, sticking the existing posters on my walls has been bit of a journey, not as easy as I had hoped. The stickies I bought from temu were a big fucking disappointment and I should have gone for a local solutions rather than a pie-in-the-sky panacea.

Third, it's becoming clearer to be that mounting such posters on a frame is a much interesting experience than having them stuck on the apartment wall. That needs extra infrastructure, to be acquired most easily from Ikea. Which isn't in my to-do list for the moment.

Fourth, my living room wall has gotten as busy as it can reasonably be while I can still pretend to go 'minimalist' so the need isn't there anymore, not since I bought the couple of Chinese prints in late 2023.  The walls of my bedroom are bare, but I don't know if I want to put poorly designed posters for myself.

Here we are now, waiting for ideas to make my bedroom better-looking and more livable.
