Handmade Geeks
Hey Babe,
So, I like the whole Handmade Ryan Gosling Meme, but he doesn’t really do it for me. I thought maybe a few geeky heart throbs would be better.
Happy Belated Valentine’s Day. I made these just for you.
Desserts, Moustaches, Geekery
The tagline for Betty Turbo’s Etsy shop is: dessert, moustaches & muscles. Naturally, I approve. And that sort of sums up the content of her shop—her prints feature things like cupcakes and Parks & Rec’s furry-lipped Ron Swanson, and a variety of wrestlers. What this description omits, however, is the geekitude. (See, we got to the relevant part eventually.) Because, in addition to the aforementioned desserts, moustaches, and muscles, the shop contains awesomely geeky prints of Dr. Horrible quotes. And a Rupert Giles birthday card. And a Star Trek/Twin Peaks crossover. And the majorly spoiler-y Dammit Joss Whedon print, a visual compendium of major characters who died in Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible. (Don’t click if you don’t already know!)
Oh, and just because some of us (I’m not saying who) love him so very much, here’s a bonus card featuring everyone’s favorite undead Brit, Spike. I feel like this print would make a good inspirational message to tack up next to your mirror. Yes, Spike, go ahead and call me gorgeous every time I look in the mirror. I could deal with that…. Sorry, fantasy has taken over again.
What a crazy random happenstance!
If you have these on your wall, what does it say to people who walk into your house?
“I have a PHD in horribleness.”
“You’re driving a spork into your leg.”
“I don’t go to the gym, I’m just naturally like this.”
“You’re driving a spork into your leg.”
“I don’t go to the gym, I’m just naturally like this.”
somekindofrobot on Etsy has made these beautiful canvas paintings of your favorite Dr. Horrible characters. They’re definitely unique and will certainly liven up the place when Dr. Horrible gives you the keys to a shiny new Australia.
Also in her shop you’ll find a Boba Fett canvas painting, Ghostbusters painting, and even a GLaDOS painting.
Wednesday Wolf’s Wonderful Watercolors
These paintings by Wednesday Wolf are amazing—dark and evocative and deceptively simple. They also really run the gamut of geekery, encompassing everything from Sackboy, the Ninja Turtles’ Michaelangelo, and Gir to Powerpuff Girls villain Him, Voldemort, and even Trogdor. And I’ve never seen such a menacing Pokedex or such a tragic depiction of Dr. Horrible. It’s hard to choose, but I think my personal favorite is the Alot. (You know the story of the Alot, right?)
I’m running out of wall space, but I may need one or more of these prints.

Dr. Horrible Status Quo Cross-Stitch
So almost a year ago, I posted this awesome Dr. Horrible Cross-Stitch, and if you’re like me, you like symmetry, so you’ve got to have two, right? Well that’s where this Dr. Horrible Status Quo Cross-Stitch by Armaine comes in! (via craftster)
