You can tell a lot about a person by their room.











If you take a look at my room you will find out almost everything you could ever want to know about me. It is filled with books, silly art and a ton of movies. For some their room might be strictly functional a sleep only kind of deal, for me it is my sanctuary. Contrary to popular belief I am nowhere near the outgoing pirate most see at festivals or events.
So my room, then becomes my fortress of solitude. Books, comics graphic novels, movies and music have always been my fall back when art cant quite calm the demons in my head. They always remain the same, never change yet you can always gain new insight from them no matter how many times you have read or heard them. I Love to surround myself with these old friends to see them lined or stacked up is an extreme comfort to me.
My room is also covered in the art that inspires or intrigues me. It pushes me to to try more, even if no one ever sees the outcome. I love candles and muted lights that cast crazy shadows all over the room at night, with all the sculptures and odd bits of junk it gives a wonderful sense that anything could be lurking about in this odd little menagerie of monsters , stuffed animals and toys of mine.
I am a solitary person who doesn't do well with others, I talk, really talk to maybe three people in this world and not a one of them live anywhere near me. I'd like to think someday I will open up to folks but I doubt that will happen, I do better living alone in my room with my books, my music, my art.
When you see me at an event understand what you see is just a small part of me i let out every now and again. I love to play , i live for it, that chance to get out and make people laugh and enjoy the general mayhem of the festival when it sall over, I will walk home alone because that is what I understand, debauchery when called for and solitude in between.
I must go Mr. Barrie is calling me back to the Neverlands, I have a funny little goblin waiting for me with a bottle of rum.
