My 2 80s black light clocks
Such great designs, the one with liquor is much more vibrant.
is this allowed? My OC of 80s inspired portraiture?
Large plaster lamps from maybe the 80's that I just got!
This thing is about 5 feet tall and weighs over 40lbs. Found a pair of them in excellent condition!
Should I get this?
I’m trying to decide on this. Is it price correctly? Do we like the design?
Can we stop the “this isn’t what the 80s looked like” comments?
I think that is understood. But it’s just dismissive of a lot of the reason this sub exists. Everytime someone posts a picture of their room that doesn’t have wood paneling and shag carpets there’s so many Gen X warriors in the comments being rude instead of supporting that people find inspiration from the best decade (even if it’s an idealized version of it from magazines and TV shows). I’m sure you grew up in a cigarette stained wood paradise but don’t tell me you wouldn’t also want a Miami Vice drug dealer’s mansion!
Help me find the designer or design company that made this mirror
There’s so tag or markings anywhere
I tried all sorts of “vintage retro 1980s large wall mirror” including image search and can’t find anything.
Image search is hard with mirrors lol

My Homage to this SuperStar for Today
I fired up my laptop before midnight last night thinking I might redo an illustration I originally did 6 years ago to post by midnight for one of my Tumblr accounts. I didn't want to spend too much time on it. Just 5 minutes. 6 hours later it's done. I worked all through the night illustrating the graffiti and modifying everything else on it—colors, composition, mood. I guess I can sleep now. Enjoy!
What workplace trend from the 1980s would actually be useful to bring back today?
Our company had an 80's workday theme. I wasn't sure whether our theme was 80s Wall Street or Miami Vice, so I tried both. Looking at the photos made me wonder: what workplace trend from the 1980s would actually be useful to bring back today?
