There are eight spaces on the walls. So many good choices. Vincent Price, Betty Davis, Humphrey Bogart ....

OF course! How could I leave them out?! Okay .... maybe two ... or three pieces per wall? The wall spaces are 8'x8' above lower wooden wall panels. Maybe one "family" of art per wall? One for comedy, one for westerns, one for horror, one for romance, one for drama, one for Sci-Fi, one for ...

Very nice! Is this in someone's yard, or a park, or?

These were manually traced using Inkscape. Post your photo and I will show you enough to get you started.

If you have an iPad, get the APP called Vector Q Get an Apple Pencil, and trace the image as you desire. Export the image as a DXF file, and cut it.

Here is a good one to give you the basic idea of using the Bezier tool for manual tracing.

The walls are blank, and they are screaming for some wall art. I figure, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Bella Lugosi, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, ... who else?
