I had to share Andrew Heath’s “Big Yellow Joint” print in honor of the new season of Arrested Development. So far Andrew (my husband, not the artist) and I have been able to avoid binge watching. We’re a little over half way through the season now and we are loving it!

 

 

Graphic novel illustrator Kazu Kibuishi has been commissioned by Scholastic to recreate the covers of the 15th Anniversary Edition paperbacks of the Harry Potter series. The first two covers have been revealed already and they are gorgeous!

 

 

I’m not even a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, but I would still love to have any of these salt and pepper shakers from NeatoShop.

 

 

 

These are a couple of t-shirt designs created by Rhys Kitson. Sadly, they haven’t been picked up by any manufacturers yet, but I really hope they do soon because I am dying to have that Camp Endor shirt.

 

 

The perfect cot for your little Timelord, found via Doctor Who Crafts! And get this, the family’s last name is Gallafraigh. So jealous!

 

 

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

I love these book lockets from Junk Studio! Each locket has two compartments inside for photos or to write your favorite quotes. These are just a few of the books available in the shop, but you can also have a custom locket made to resemble any book of your choosing. How cool is that?

 

 

Her Universe never fails to create awesome geek wear for us fan girls. This Dalek Blue Print Tee is currently available at ThinkGeek.

 

 

This holster bag from Jungle Tribe would be a great way to add a little bit of steampunk flare to an everyday outfit.

 

 

These Love Text tights are a cute and unique way to show off your love for reading. They feature the love text from Wikipedia, but it would be really awesome to find some tights with text from your favorites books. Hmm… a possible DIY maybe?

 

 

If you’re a Star Trek fan, make sure you don’t miss out on this snazzy watch from Urban Collector, now available for pre-order (projected release date is August 2013).

Does that little hut look familiar? It’s Luke Skywalker’s childhood home on Tatooine – or, actually Tunisia, which was the real life location of the desert planet from Star Wars. Photographer, Ra di Martino discovered the structures while exploring with Google Earth, then traveled to the locations and photographed the abandoned sets.

How amazing would it be to visit this place someday? As if getting to stand where Mark Hamill stood wouldn’t be enough, just imagine the incredible photo ops you’d have! More photos can be seen here.

 

 

Arrested Development’s long awaited season 4 premiers on Netflix in just two days! TWO DAYS!!!

 

 

Geekify your kitchen with this Dalek pot holder from Huckleberry Baby. They also have Whovian themed aprons and bibs.

 

 

These hot air balloon prints from The Filigree are just too pretty not to share.

 

 

Look at this adorable Wall-E engagement ring box made by themodelmaker! How could you even think of saying no with those eyes staring up at you?

 

 

Have a great weekend everyone! I’ll be heading up to my hometown for a wedding and some much needed best friend time!

Fangirl Fashions #3

The Draw Them In Dress from ModCloth is the perfect addition to any comic loving gal’s wardrobe. I kind of wish the panels were of more traditional graphics like POW! and BAM!, but the romance theme is cute too.

 

 

Another great addition for the comic book fangirl is this tote bag designed by Kate or Die. It’s currently out of stock, but according to the site should be restocked within a couple of weeks.

 

 

Escape to Wonderland with this Alice themed pocket watch and charms set from Gelivable Gifts.

 

 

You can actually DIY this Galaxy/Enterprise t-shirt with Katie’s tutorial.

 

 

 

The Banyan Tree has some great casual steampunk-esque tops to choose from. I really, really love that airship t-shirt. Another item for my never ending wish list.

Lionsgate released a gorgeous new poster for Catching Fire this week. It reads, “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.”

 

 

A full length trailer has already been released for ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It looks good, people! You can also see character portraits here and their S.H.I.E.L.D. badges here.

 

 

This is the concept art for the film adaptation of The Maze Runner. It honestly looks just like how I imagined it while reading the book. I’m getting pretty excited about this movie! It comes out February 14, 2014, so mark your calendars. It’s gonna be amazing.

If you know how to knit you can make yourself this fantastic Wonder Woman jumper with Kabi’s tutorial.

 

 

How great are these cat tights from Seoul Rhythm? It looks like they’re out of stock though. Bummer. But they don’t look like they’d be too difficult to DIY.

 

 

This Hogwarts tank top from ThinkGeek would be great to wear with some leggings in the summer time.

 

Janine Basil is my newest Etsy love. Her hair accessories are the perfect mixture of retro, geek, and girly. All of her items are sure to snazz up any outfit.

 

 

Because why wouldn’t you want an AT-AT on your pencil skirt? (from Engram Clothing)

Inspiration: Jeff Victor

I want to introduce you all to the fantastic artwork of Jeff Victor. Once you see his illustrations I’m sure you’ll have no problems understanding why I’m so excited about them. But first, here’s a little snippet from his about page:

“Jeff Victor is an illustrator living and working in Los Angeles, CA. His work is inspired by films, his childhood, and observing the humor in everyday life.”

I was introduced to his work when I saw this illustration featured on another blog:

It’s Sloth and Chunk from The Goonies 28 years later. XD

 

But, you might remember me mentioning him last week when I shared his submission for a Star Wars art exhibit.

 

I had the toughest time trying to pick out just a few more of his pieces to showcase so… here’s a whole bunch of them.

 

He has a great range of work and he’s constantly trying out new techniques and posting new sketches to his blog. His posts for the 30 Day Drawing Challenges he participates in are truly inspiring to me. I think I might just have to join in on a challenge… Also, I really wish this print was for sale:
