While you wonder whether your Peter Griffin poster matches your Starry Night print, some freshmen have been putting up wallpaper. H. Hai Pham ’09, Baruch Y. Shemtov ’08, Davone J. Tines ’09, and Matthew T. McClure ’09 see their suite as a long-term decorating project—from the rug to the light fixtures.

...DIED. JEAN-MICHEL FOLON, 71, Belgian-born painter and graphic artist whose work was familiar to millions from poster campaigns and magazine covers for The New Yorker, Esquire and TIME; in Monaco.

Drug-induced visions inspired posters, clothes and album covers in dazzling, swirling colors; later generations were disappointed that they'd missed out on all the fun. Now it's time to don the kaftans and give the visuals another chance. "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" runs at the Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt from Nov. 2 to Feb. 12, and then at Vienna...

With a friend stationed nearby to watch for police, Branded, 30, brushes a layer of paste on the box and slaps up the poster. Then he whips open his cell phone, snaps a picture and e-mails the shot to flickr.com a photo website on which artists post their work...
