I think it would be great to hang up your own work.

i have some of my pictures i've taken of friends of mine (two of them are in my profile, actually) up on my wall.
what's REALLY tacky, though, is that i have a drawing and a painting of MYSELF up in here too. how vain is that??

Only if you put a price tag on them ;-)

I have my pictures all over my walls, it's cheap art.

Cris...

On a weird side note. Be careful of cheap frames. About an hour ago one of my favorite photographs on my wall here in the computer room fell off the wall. I thought it just plain fell off the nail. t fell to the ground, glass everywhere and all.But when I looked up I noticed the BACK of the frame was still attached to the wall.

Apparently they glued the velvet back onto the frame instead of small framing nails and the glue finally wore down after handing there for a couple of years.

Check the construction of your frames!

I know this is somewhat different from what you're talking about, but I have a framed picture up on my wall, and the picture was taken at Sears Portrait Studio (a b/w pic)...lol.
