All--

Trying to personify my room, so:

I'm looking for some black-and-white posters (must be 24" x 36" for mounting purposes) depicting significant people in popular history (I have Bob Dylan, Pablo Picasso's 'Don Quixote', and Audrey Hepburn thus far). I checked allposters.com, but wanted to expand my search. Most of these are under $10, and I'd like the look to basically be a raw photograph (no red labels, bright accents, etc.)

If anyone had any search suggestions or wanted to sell me some stuff, please throw some links my way.

Some of Marilyn Monroe's b&w photos are really nice:

They very much are. In fact, the only reason I ruled it out for the immediate situation was the fact I have my Audrey Hepburn print en route, a personal favorite.

Exactly! B.B. King is an immaculate example, especially in that photo.

Thanks to both of you; still open to anymore suggestions.

Some of my b&w pics are not so bad either.

Not at all. My point was that I was looking for someone else besides Monroe at the time. I'd a Hepburn fan, so when the opportunity came, I took. Besides, I only have so much wall space for 24x36 posters:sick:

Eh, you aren't Jessica Alba, are you? No? Ah, then let's uh, talk about something aside from this...

Found a Clint Eastwood picture of him in one of the Spaghetti Westerns on allposters.com.
