Exactly what is going on in my brain, blown all over the walls.
I’ll keep it brief here, but I feel my room is the truest example of who I am. I draw a lot of inspiration from Mad Max; hopefully, that comes through.
This is the entrance to my room. I like post-apocalypse stuff, so the flag sets the vibe. I pulled all the LED strip lights off my walls and strategically draped them everywhere to add lighting where shadows would make things look cooler. I covered some pins to make a segment of the lights red, surrounding a sculpture of Guts from Berserk. I also found a framed quilt of the Desiderata poem at the Goodwill bins. I feel its location is perfectly fitting, so make eye contact with it immediately after you see the flag, then enter my room.I had an old flatscreen that I used to play Destiny 1 on as a kid, but after redoing my room, I didn’t need it. I also needed a mirror. I put two and two together and decided to turn the flatscreen on its side, plug one of my mom’s old camcorders into it, and turn it into a mirror. So now, when I get dressed, it looks like I’m a video game character on a found-footage tape.After swapping the fighter jet’s muffler, I had this 75-pound piece of junk taking up space in my garage. What better way to display the shiny exhaust tips than to slap a slab of glass over it and make it a coffee table? Can you find Xur?I’m a nut for vintage audio. I Frankensteined a Fender amp together with 90s computer speakers (the other is not pictured; I have it wired to a different corner of my room) with aux splitters to create an interesting listening experience. I adjusted the EQs so that all the guitar and bass come from the amp, while the vocals and highs come through the computer speakers. It sounds like you’re at a concert where the singer’s voice is almost ghost-like. Once funds permit, I hope to expand this with larger amps throughout the room, or even the whole home, using strategically placed speakers all spliced together to create a 1-of-1 sound experience.Here’s my desk. One of my favorite things here is the Harvard mug I filled with bullet shells and stuffed with peacock feathers. The longer you look, the weirder it gets.I really like tapestries. I feel like they fill wall space way better than posters.On the bottom left is a chair I made from a bucket seat and two coilovers from a wrecked car. Yes, you can adjust the height of the chair with the same wrench used to raise and lower a car on coilovers.
