Woot!

(I need an icon that says..."geeking out". I'd make good use of that one. ;D)

Thought I'd share this for those who may not have seen it. I know a few of you geek over the design of the show like I do. Thanks to growyourwings for giving me the heads up. <3 (I have a twitter, but there are days I'm not on and miss lots of good stuff...)

Jerry Wanek is the Production Designer on SPN. I think he might just be my all time hero - especially for the stunning work on The Batcave. (The Wincave? The Letters Library? The Bunker 'o Love?)

He tweeted this recently:



Isn't that great?! I'm sure he's speaking to me!! (hee...of course I don't but I am definitely one of those people he's referring to...;D)

And this is the wallpaper he's referring to (from 8.12 As Time Goes By)






Clever huh? I didn't pick the reference to time when I was watching but now I see it, it's obvious. Hour glasses is what seems to be going on here. Though maybe it's up to interpretation.

I'd love to know how they find their wallpapers.

And I'm sure that light shade has been used before...(which means I'll have to investigate of course ;D)

I love the clean simplicity of this room.

I'm not sure what I love more - the fact that the wallpapers and room dividers DO reference the episode (and it's not just us making wild speculation) or that Jerry tweeted to let us know what he's done.


YAY!

I've been working on the S6 motel post today and I got a little side tracked by the wallpapers. I want to make a collection of all the ones that have flowers in them. I've made a good start but with homeofthenutty down it makes progress much slower...:(

I'm also collecting all the murals. I love the murals!!! I've found, er..5 so far.

I'm still on a high after that last ep. Well, the last three actually. It's also nice to see fans bouncing about the place. I wonder if it's enough to bring some fans back...

awesome! I am totally investigating this.

though he doesn't appear in this episode...

I'd love to to see that Tumblr post. That's so curious.

Thanks. (I know what'll I've be doing tomorrow. :D)

Indeed he didn't, so it might all just be an indication of general time-fuckery such as in that ep. But even in the episodes that didn't use time travel yet had Gabriel present it appeared. (Dammit, I wish I could find that post, grr.) Personally I love the little bastard and would love to see him back, but that's just me. :P

Good luck with the search! *goes off in search of more scotch for herself*

Hey,

I just had to look into that this morning. The pattern appears in 5.19 (as growyourwings has posted below), but I can't for the life of me see it in the other eps. He appears in 5.08 (changing channels). The wallpaper in that is HUGE flowers (*loves*) but I can see that pattern on anything else. I'm sure it must be there if someone was able to make a post about it.

He also appeared in 2.15 and 3.11 and I couldn't see it there either. Of course, I was only scrubbing through footage so I might have missed it.

Hmm...I might check the other time travels eps and see if it appears there....

[tiniowien.livejournal.com]

Yes, that one below is one of them. In changing channels I remember it's not on the gloriously garish wallpaper, but it is in the ep somewhere. *headdesk* I've spent a good hour or two this morning looking for the damn post and I've sent out some asks so hopefully someone has something!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Ha! Damn show for making us so obsessed. *g* I'll have another look at the ep also...;)

Still searching, but I did find something in a slightly similar vein (but not all to do with wallpapers):

Oh yay, that's perfect. I've been looking at wallpapers this morning and collecting caps.

Thank you!

Oh this is *very* interesting.

I went out to Tumblr to see if I could find this post. Have had no luck. But I did find this.




Of course the hotel it that ep was also a mid-century design. So it might be more the fact that the pattern comes to mind for Wanek when thinking of 50s style wallpaper. But still. Very interesting.

(Man I would SO love it if Richard were to come back on the show, even for one ep. Hey time travel right? Anything's possible.)
