My Cube

About two years ago my wife created me a swell work space out of this tiny room and I thought that perhaps I should share it with you.


This is my tiny desk in my tiny room. You can see my Mr. Potato Head in his usual perch. Also, you might notice the comic pages slapped to the wall somewhat haphazardly by my wife. That's actually the entrance into the office and I kinda dig it because it gives the illusion that you're strolling into a comic. You'll notice the shoe box full of comics down in the left hand corner of the picture. I have about four shoe boxes full of unbagged and sleeved comics sitting around and that strange, white and tan plastic cabinet directly next to my desk is full of those as well. I don't do my blog updates from this desk but pretty much all my other writing is done here.

Again, the entrance and my desk. I went with all Batman comics and I had doubles of nearly all of them. That World's Finest cover came from a comic I'd found years ago that had suffered serious water damage. These are all my Justice, and Hush figures with a few random Starcraft ones tossed in on the bottom shelf and a specially placed electric heater that sits there because I have no other spot to put it. Grundy looks like he is about to leap from his place on that shelf.

My hard cover and trade library. I actually am missing quite a few books right now due to loaning them out to friends or just being to lazy to put them all back. I actually have three hardcovers laying on the kitchen table right now that I need to put back on the shelf. Star Wars Unleashed, some DC: New Frontier, and some random DC Direct figures fill in the rest of the space. The bottom shelf is all fantasy or sci fi novels from War of the Worlds to Jurassic Park.

A closer look at the shelf. My grandpa actually built all the bookshelves in my room except for my leaning desk which was handcrafted by the hard working individuals at Crate & Barrel. I love those New Frontier figures but it's been ages since I've bought any sort of toys so I never got to buy the second series when they came out. Hopefully some day. Also, on the bottom shelf a Sandman figure is hiding. He's a personal favorite of mine.

My bookshelf for my over sized hardcovers. JLA/Avengers, Crisis on Infinite Earths and Batman: Hush are all absolute format. Then I have the Tellos over sized hardcover and the Dan Dare over sized European hardcover which I enjoyed thoroughly but was horribly disappointed to learn only contained three (or maybe it was four) issues. Also, I'm a Disney freak so I have a lot of books about Disney movies and the parks and a few of the DK superhero guides, and the massive DC Encyclopedia. I also have a closet full of short boxes in this room too which I was too lazy to take a picture of.
