I also wanted to post this to bring to light that I will take roadsigns/plates as "payment" for prints or commissions.
My room in Roseville. Everything on the walls has a story behind it in some way - and I do mean everything, not just the signs.
I love roadsigns and license plates. I have no idea why. When I was little, I would spend every single car ride looking for out of state license plates, and I was always enthralled by signs. A small sheet of metal telling people what to do, it was funny to me.
So I started collecting them - it began with a few license plates at first, and went downhill from there. I can't get enough of them - they're so cool, I really, really can't explain it.
And the reflective ones are very hard to photograph.
I think the only ones you can't see are "Welcome to Oregon," a few Portland street signs, and possibly one or two others that got cut off. The East sign on the windowsill will be installed once I get a street sign (Heh get this - Manlove street) from my friend who has it in storage.
If you want to know the story behind anything, please ask!
Some better photography of this can be found here and here, along with an old picture of my main wall here.
//EDIT - This room doesn't exist anymore, I'm sorry to say. But I am still collecting signs and plates, and trying to rebuild this in a different location. RIP, Cloud Nine.

Wow that's a lot of street signs. I had a teacher that collects license plates. He put them up in the classroom and now they take over the walls like in your room. XD
