“I love anything and everything geek. I am completely obsessed with Bioshock (1 and 2) and I just love the concept and ideas of Rapture. In my free time I draw some of the “educational” posters found throughout the game. I have also drawn some of the Plasmid video stills (one can be found in the sold section of my etsy). I love your website and check it frequently, purchasing items from the artists you mention. It also gives me great ideas for my own geekcrafts! I love the website, please keep it up!”

I’m sure many of our readers are with you in the Bioshock love. I, however, am an absolute WIMP… and although I the love retro art peppered throughout the game, I become a snivelling nervous wreck when playing scary/atmospheric first person shooters.

I’m a Cookin’ Mama kind of girl.

A grocery list from a Rapture (Bioshock‘s undersea city) citizen would probably look something like, “bread, Hop-Up Soda, Incinerate Plasmid, cream-filled cakes.” It would also probably be stuck to an art deco-inspired refrigerator with one of these awesome Rapture Relics magnets.

Handmade by Hyderya and GirlDoom – the dynamic duo behind Strangeland Outfitter – these magnets are sure to be a conversation-starter at your next New Year’s Party. You can buy them individually, or order a set of three (which comes with a free fourth magnet, either a recorder or a plasmid).

In the spirit of full disclosure, I interviewed this talented pair for Electronic Wasteland‘s blog. If you’re interested in reading more about the awesome video game replicas Strangeland Outfitter produces, check it out!

“Look, Mr. B!”

I squealed like a Little Sister when I saw this simple, yet striking Bioshock embroidery.

Craftster member lostinwonderland stitched up the design from one of the posters found in the Little Wonders level of the video game. A deceptively sweet image for such a sinister purpose…
