Matthew's "Sick" Room
Matthew frequently talks about doing half pipes. If you grew up in the hippee days that probably meant something much different than what Matthew is talking about. He likes to talk about skateboarding and snowboarding.
We've just finished Matthew's room design. Yet to come is a bean bag chair for the corner of the room, but there are a couple of cool spots in the room. He wanted a skateboarding theme (no surprise) so we have a couple of posters on the wall/ceiling. We wallpapered with imitation brick paper, then got one of our friends to do the awesome graffiti. Didn't he do a great job?
I painted a couple of old skateboards that weren't usable. Those are flames, in case you can't tell. I found some on the internet, drew the outline onto mactac for shelves, razored it out, stuck it to the board after it was painted red, and painted the black over it. Wherever the mactac was, the stayed red. A bit more outlining for the smudges, some dollar store brackets spray painted black to match, and p-r-e-s-t-o.
By the way, "sick" is slang for "cool" (I'm a nerd - I didn't come up with that one by myself).
