Let's Redecorate!

Before Sno-Isle ended, my instructor, Karen, was getting rid of all her posters. I was thrilled when I laid eyes on a Portal poster. After I put it on my wall, I realized my room was in need of an "update." Posters of kittens still splattered the wall and my name was on my wall six times, all on different posters. My friend Hayley was coming over and we were originally planning on watching Disney movies as part of our summer Disney movie marathon, but I told her to drop that and redecorate the walls of my room instead. She was all for it.

You can never have too much Portal stuff in your room, so I decided to dedicate one wall for Portal memorabilia. Hayley suggested I use the wall behind my bed so I didn't have to stare at GLaDOS while I was trying to sleep. I wholeheartedly agreed. The wall next to my bed would be my cartoon wall. Right now it's mostly Calvin and Hobbes (the best comic ever), but over time I'll add some more cartoonish things. Hayley also drew a picture just for my wall, with characters from a fanfiction we're writing. She drew Tommy and Chuckie from Rugrats, Danny from Danny Phantom (a cartoon she's obsessed with), and two characters of my own from a book I'm (still) working on.

I was looking for something to put on the empty space when my dad told me I could have this X-Men poster I bought for him years ago. He couldn't put it anywhere.

So, after a couple hours work, here are the main results. I say "main" because my room doesn't have only three walls, but the others aren't that interesting.

Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, fan art, and Hayley's drawings.
