Lightsabers and Lollipops

when i was seven years old, my family moved to a bigger house that was brand spankin new cuz they built it themselves with a little help from family and friends. so that meant that i got to help pick what my environment would be like in my room.



so naturally, i went with what i knew.



i'd like to think i was a well rounded kid. i didn't just go with one single theme.



my parents asked one of their friends from church to paint the murals on my wall. he was awesome. he was also the one who designed the logo of my dad's pool company which we still use today.



my sister took better pictures of these at one point, but i don't know where they are. the reason why you see lots of white or torn off pieces is due to the fact that we put up this highly expensive wallpaper about the time i really started liking girls and decided that they might be scared off by the guy who had snoopy and huey, duey and luey on his wall.



unfortunately, the wallpaper did not go on smoothly. it was so thick and heavy that my dad and i had to practically use super glue to get it on the walls. my parents are deciding what to do with the room now, so when the wallpaper came off, it took some of the mural paint with it. right now it's sort of a sewing room/spare room for junk.



most people who see these pictures say, "well, that explains a few things."



i couldn't do the Star Wars corner any justice in these pictures cuz there is currently a large vanity in front of it. or whatever you call that particular piece of furniture.



hopefully, i will take some better pics before we move everything in order to paint.



it would be a shame not to have some pics of my favorite side of the room before it was coated over forever...



it's funny to think that this was painted before Return of the Jedi was even in the theaters.
he used a lot of my comics to get the inspiration for the murals.



so there ya have it. just one more explanation to my peter pan syndrome. someday (when i get it clean) i may take pics of the room i currently some of my toys, books and computer room which my family affectionately calls "The Star Wars Room. ...for obvious reasons...



i'm not sure, but i think this "Lounge" sign was stolen from titus hall at Lincoln Christian College.

so nyeh.
