"Only $2750 at Moss."

that's a little joke, right? the "only" part?

Real World always has really cool homes, I tried out just because I wanted to live in one.

I love the murals on this season's Real World. I have been looking for something similar in the form of either a print or some canvases...or even a template that I could replicate, but have been unsuccessful. Anybody know of something like them?

Try blowing up clip art. You can usually get it in vector format, and just plop it into illustrator and tweak to your heart's content. You can even get pieces made into those 3" wide vinyl sticker sheets at some of the plastic places on Canal.
