THE SUN
The original overachiever. Burning nonstop for billions of years, dragging light through darkness so the rest of us can pretend we’re alive. The Sun doesn’t rest, doesn’t ask. It just keeps showing up. This poster is for the ones who give until they’re empty, who light up everyone else’s world and call it purpose. Borrowed fire, endless fuel, quiet devotion. Keep catching the sun.
Poster Survival Guide
Don’t Sunbathe It
Posters love light… just not that much light. Keep it out of direct sunlight unless you’re into that washed-out, vintage look.
Frame It, Maybe?
Frames aren’t just for rich art collectors. They keep your poster flat, clean, and safe from the horror of accidental coffee spills.
Dust, Don’t Crust
A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth once in a while is enough. No, your mop does not qualify. And please… don’t use cleaning spray. It’s paper, not your kitchen counter.
Roll Responsibly
Moving? Roll it loosely and stick it in a cardboard tube. Don’t fold it. Folds are forever, just like bad tattoos.
Climate Control (For Posters, Not Your Mood)
Keep it in a dry, cool place. Humidity makes posters wrinkle like raisins. Basements and bathrooms? Hard no.
Recycle the Right Way
If, for some unholy reason, you stop loving it... don’t trash it. Donate, swap, or recycle.
For the Detail Freaks
The posters clean up nice with a sturdy wooden frame, already kitted out to hang straight on your wall (because wrestling with nails is overrated).
Ready-to-hang: Comes with the hanging kit, so you can skip the assembly drama.
Frame Material: Solid pine wood. Tougher than it looks.
Frame Size: Chunky enough to last (20-25mm thick), sleek enough to look good (1014mm wide).
Paper Weight: Heavyweight 200 gsm (a solid 80 lb), because floppy posters are a tragedy.
Paper Finish: Smooth matte, zero glare. No accidental mirror selfies here.
Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass, because accidents (and clumsy friends) happen.
Sustainability: FSC-certified or equivalent, so your conscience can relax.
On-Demand Magic: No warehouses, no dust. Printed fresh and shipped just for you.
What do I actually get?
If you only buy a Poster:
You get the artwork, printed in high quality, rolled up safely in a tube. No frame, no extras, just pure visual goodness waiting to hit your wall.
If you buy a Framed Poster
Same high-quality print, but this time it comes already living in a sleek frame (ready to hang the moment it arrives).
Ship & Flip
CAN I RETURN MY ORDER IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
Yep! EU law gives you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. So if you unpack your poster and decide it’s not love at first sight, you can send it back within 14 days. No hard feelings.
How do I start a return?
Just drop an email at hello@distinctroom.com with your order number. We’ll send you the return address and next steps.
Who pays for return shipping?
Changed your mind? You cover the return shipping.
Got a damaged, misprinted, or wrong item? That’s on me. I will replace it free of charge or refund you in full.
My poster arrived damaged. What now?
Snap a quick photo and email it to me (hello@distinctroom.com) within 30 days. I will sort it out with a free replacement (or a refund if you’d rather). Easy.
What if my order never shows up?
If your package takes a holiday and gets lost in transit, I will send you a new one. No extra cost, no stress.
When will I get my money back?
Once your return lands back with me (or you show us proof it’s on the way), I will refund you to your original payment method. Usually within 14 days, but often faster.
Can I swap for another design instead?
Not directly. Since everything is printed on demand, the quickest way is: return your poster → get a refund → place a shiny new order.
Are your posters considered personalized?
Nope! All designs are my own creations, not customer-customized. That means they are returnable under EU law. If we ever launch personalized prints, those would be non-returnable (but we’ll make that super clear).

The Sun
The Self-Created One
As a kid, I had an unreasonable amount of respect for ancient Egypt. I’d spend afternoons buried in library books and National Geographic documentaries, wide-eyed at the hieroglyphs, the pharaohs, the whole divine soap opera of gods and monsters. I loved that they didn’t just look at the sun... they worshiped it. They knew what we forget every time we get lost in our own greed: no sun, no life.
And then there was Ra. The cool one, the giver of life, the one driving that glowing ship across the sky like it was the hottest commute in the universe. Every night, he’d sail into the underworld and fight Apep, a serpent so big it tried to swallow the sun whole. And every morning, somehow, Ra won. Again. And again. And again.
I think about that sometimes. This endless loop of light and chaos, victory and exhaustion. Ra never got a break. The world just kept expecting him to show up, burning, like fire does.
The world expected Ra to keep catching the sun.

Borrowed fire
I love inspiring others. It’s funny how natural it feels.
To give life, to spark something in others, to nudge them past whatever walls they’ve built. If I can be their light, I will. It’s not some big heroic thing: more like an instinct. Maybe I learned it from the sun. Ra used to fight Apep every night, dragging the light through the Duat so everyone else could wake up again. I get that. Sometimes you dive into the dark just so someone else can find their way out. If I had my way, nobody’d starve.
And somewhere in all of that, I started noticing the circles. They keep showing up... in my work, in the things I chase, in the people I meet. Maybe they’re reminders, maybe just a cosmic joke. Either way, I keep catching them.
In maworld, a couple of circles are all I need to keep it all burning.
