Hello everyone,

I saw an image in a YouTube video with the caption "fuck you Flowers."
When I asked where the image was from, two people told me it was from IKEA, but I can't find any information about it.
Can someone help me? I really need that image!

Thank you very much!

I believe that this exact picture is not available at IKEA, but something similar, I think...

Thank you very much for the response. What exactly do you mean by “in a similar form”?

In my opinion, this is an old poster that is no longer available. The phrase has obviously been written over it...

Hello Jay-man!

I’ve searched through various image libraries but couldn’t find anything. I thought something like this could be made easily by yourself, but you do need the base image. Adding the text with image editing software like IrfanView or Photoshop is no problem. If you can find the background, I’d be happy to help you with the rest.

For me, the image of the Eiffel Tower from the video is the real eye-catcher! Super cool! I have a large white wall in my living room, and that kind of shot would be perfect there! I checked on fotolia and found a similar image for just a few euros. The photographer is Ralf Gosch, and the image number is 28676382. It’s from the opposite side, but otherwise it’s the same great perspective. Usually, you’d expect a portrait format for the Eiffel Tower, so the idea of using a landscape format or even a square composition is brilliant—I really like it. I’ll try flipping the image in an editing program to see if it looks better oriented the same way it does in the video.

In any case, I plan to convert it to black and white, and in the end it will be perfectly square. I’ll have the poster printed on photo canvas and stretched on a thick wooden frame—a really sturdy professional stretcher frame, almost 5cm (2 inches) deep. Wow, I’m really excited to see how it will look in my place. I’m thinking of a size around 80x80cm (31x31 inches) or even larger… I need to check my budget first.

I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Thank you for the answers!

Does anyone know the name of the original poster or where to find something similar?
I am mainly interested in the simple depiction of the flowers in the background.

And I also really like your idea, fotokatze!
