Dorm Room Ideas for Guys: The Texas Edition
Fourteen hand-signed prints for the man who was going to leave his walls empty until December. Most are $50. Zero of them are that poster of a city you've never been to.
Let's be honest about the average guy's dorm wall: it's a flag, a girl's Polaroid wall he didn't consent to, or nothing. Here's the fix — cool wall art for guys with actual Texas credentials, hand-signed by the Crum family in Fort Worth. Command strips, ten minutes, done. Shop it all at Wall Art for Guys.
The Outlaw Wall
Start with a mugshot. Trust us.
Willie Nelson Mugshot — $50
The greatest booking photo in Texas history. A conversation starter with a rap sheet.
Willie Wanted Poster — $50
Wanted: for outlaw country. Reward: a better-looking room.
The Skeleton Highwayman — $50
A skeleton cowboy playing guitar. Your roommate cannot compete with this.
Ghost Cowboy — $50
No face, all menace. Cowboy gothic for the top bunk.
Coach's Corner
Wisdom, framed. Cheaper than therapy, works at 2 a.m. before the exam.
The Tom Landry Quote — $50
The man wore a fedora to work in Texas heat. Listen to him.
Go Ahead, Be Cocky — $50
A rooster with the confidence you'll have after your first A.
"You Are the Best Looking Person Here" — $50
Hang it by the mirror. Statistically true in a single dorm room.
Stevie Ray Vaughan — $50
Required listening, now required viewing. Texas music royalty.
The Road Trip Wall
For the drive home you're already planning.
Allsup's Under a Big Sky — $50
Home of the chimichanga that has saved more road trips than AAA.
Night Drive Cowboy — $50
Windows down, radio on, 200 miles to go.
Roach Stompers — $50
Pointy-toed boots, drawn with respect. Also a useful dorm skill.
Neon Raccoon With a Dr Pepper — $50
The unofficial mascot of the 2 a.m. study session.
The Quiet Flex
Minimalist pieces that suggest you have depth. Whether you do is your business.
Horse Shadow Puppet — $50
Two hands, one horse. Minimalism with a sense of humor.
JY Crum, Cowboy Portrait — $50
A real West Texas rancher — the artists' actual family. Grit is inherited.
And when you turn 21: the Texas Beer Art and Bar Cart collections are waiting — Lone Star, Pearl, and Shiner prints that graduate with you. Until then, the RA never needs to discuss a Dr Pepper raccoon.
Every print is hand-signed by Betsy, Caya, or Carl Crum on archival cotton rag paper in Fort Worth. Standard frame sizes, ships flat. See also: the full Texas Dorm Room Guide (all schools) and Wall Art for Guys.
