College Dorm Art
|
Can't Post
|
|
I tried to upload some LOTR "art" that I've created on the white-board outside my dorm room at college, but I can't seem to get it down to size. Can anybody give me a (really) quick tutorial?  In the meantime, I'll try to explain it to you. I wrote "A Tribute To; Lord of the Rings" at the top, and then drew a picture of the White Tree of Gondor in the corner. I left a marker on the board so other guys on the hall can leave their "tribute," and so far I've already got a quote from Gandalf and a picture of Sting. 
As a side-note of Geekiness, the name of my hall is "Long," and this afternoon my RA wrote "Hall Party @ 6" on my board. I Hobbit-ized it by changing it to read, "A Long (hall) Expected Party @ 6."  Anyway, I thought it was funny.... 
"So knights are mythical!" said the younger and less experienced dragons. "We always thought so."

That is hilarious. I love it. As for downsizing the picture, I am not sure. You can always try uploading it picnik, and can resize it and re-save it there!

Here's the board in its current form:
The text above Frodo says, "I'm so ready to go to Mordor now. Thank you Toby!"
Gandalf in the tower is yelling, "Over here!" to some passing birds.
Under Darth Vader's helmet (don't ask ) are the lines, "One Force to rule them all, millions of Mitochondrians to bind it. One Jedi to balance it all, and in the lava lose it."  
In the top left of the board is where my RA announces parties, and in the top right is for Room Inspection (I had put "inspection!" up there, but it got changed to "infection!" Oh, the college life! )
So, that's the board as of Thursday! I'll keep y'all posted as the artwork unfolds...

I'm the Geek the comic strip refers to.

there are two (mainly) sophomore dorms on my campus, one of which I'm living in. They're often called the towers because they are 8 stories high, by far taller than any of the other dorms. So of course they're just begging to be called the Two Towers.
The wide world is all about you:
you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out
You can only come to the morning through the shadows

Every little bit helps when trying to elevate the mundane existence of college life into that of Myth. haha...

Ah! The wonders of the white board!
You know you're cool when...
-You have a nerd-spasm just because you walk by your Lord of the Rings Extended Edition DVDs.
-You cry at the end of return of the king even though you've seen it about 13 times.
-You check TOR.n for updates when you should be doing your geography project.
-You would rather have Richard Taylor's autograph than Merryl Streep's.
-You doodle Treebeard in the margins of your math homework.
-Everything you say, or anyone else for that matter, relates to LotR even if it only makes sense to you.-by Gimli'sBox
But if that's what I'm like... well than too bad for normal people!
