Wallcovering question
Hi to everyone on the forum.
I hate to be a 'gimme' with my first ever post, but I have a question for the forum.
I am working with a group of students who are trying to recreate this still from "Fear and Loathing", the Johnny Depp movie as part of a photography assignment.
Does anyone know where we might find a roll of the wild pink wallpaper on the wall behind the bedside tables?
I would be very grateful for any leads you might have.

Thanks in advance

One of the paint pro's would proboly have a more definite answer, but WHEN I do need things like that I go to Duron paints and Wallcovering's. I'm pretty sure they could do or order a custom wallpaper.

You can check them out, but wait for one of the paint pro's to post, they may know better.

Book yourself in to a cheap sixties motel and tear it off the wall, that's what HST would have done. RIP.

That was our first plan! It seemed appropriate.
Sadly we haven't even come close to finding anything as psychedelic as the Flamingo hotel in our neck of the woods.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone here will know about a warehouse full of tacky sixties decorative memorabilia...

Can you get a better photo? I can probably help you replicate it.
