Thought I'd share some pictures of my wall at home - these are characters I've loved all my life growing up in the 90s, a few that I've created, and a few contributions from friends. The story behind this is that I had a very short lease on the apartment - 6 months - and the plan was to paint over it when I left. Just before moving, there were lots of new potential tenants who liked it enough to persuade the landlord to keep it, so it lives on! How many can you spot? I've left a cheat-sheet beneath each photo below, but if you can name them all (at least the popular ones), then we are kindred spirits!
