December twenty-eighth came and went, and most New Yorkers went about their lives, blissfully unaware that their city had been taken over by ten sultry, lingerie modeling, miniature monsters. For the next several days, these monsters would hide out in random, unassuming spots in the Big Apple, awaiting discovery–and when they were discovered? Well, they did what any well meaning monster would do, they directed the finder to Find A Monster where they could find out their monster’s name, basic information, biography, and a coupon for Bare Necessities!
Find A Monster is taking guerrilla marketing to a new, and pretty geeky level. This was the first Find A Monster experiment, lasting a few days–but if you follow @findamonster on Twitter, you’ll be the first to know about the next Find A Monster campaign and get clues to discover a mini-monster of your very own. Why monsters, though? JPD Studios, the marketing company responsible for the New York City monster invasion wanted to combine art and guerrilla marketing–and why not monsters? When Krista, from JPD Studios spoke with me she said,
…we chose monsters for this project because there’s no predefined idea of what a “monster” is. This allows for the artists’ creativity to be fairly limitless and we can easily tailor the monsters to a specific theme. Our monsters range from scary, funny, silly, cute, pretty, sexy, evil. Plus, everyone loves monsters!
And isn’t that the truth? I can’t wait to see what the next Find A Monster campaign is, and what they’ll be wearing!

I love our twitter followers. Ageekmom retweeted a link to this amazing website from her twitter-buddy, geekygirlau, and I was totally amazed by what I found. The picture above is a paper model of a Challenger STS-51L by Tomys from Prague, Czech Republic. You read that right, PAPER. This amazing website is full of incredibly detailed,incredibly realistic scale models made from paper. I can’t even begin to tell you how cool I think these AXM Paper Space Scale Models are.

I recently featured a Blackberry case made by a follower of geek crafts on twitter, Dawn Crawford. Being the good wife that she is, she made her husband, Brian Crawford send us a couple submissions as well, and so we thank her, because this Space Invaders Star Wars Mashup Skateboard he made for the Bordo Bello fundraiser for the arts this year is just awesome. Not only did he take inspiration from the awesome Space Invaders 8-bit look, but he incorporated into a Star Wars theme, and if that wasn’t enough for you, this baby lights up!
Pictures don’t really do this beauty justice, so be sure to check out their husband & wife craft blog Crap I Make to see the video Dawn shot of her hubby’s most excellent creation!

DawnACrawford is geek crafts new biggest fan, she has recently discovered our blog and tweeted about it around five times in the last two days, needless to say, when I saw a submission from her in my inbox, I was really curious to see what awaited me at the other end of the link. It was this That’s No Moon Blackberry Case that she posted on her blog. It has the Death Star on one side and the Tie FIghter on the other, perfect for the Star Wars geek that can’t bear to be separated from their blackberry! Too cool.

If you are a twit who can stop tweeting than the word “twake” probably doesn’t seem the least bit odd to you. Twitter is taking off in a big way, sparking debates about it’s “importance” and it’s affect on society as a whole. More than that, it’s become a huge community full of people who are positively addicted to reading and posting updates that answer the simple question “What are you doing?”. Well what @GDruckman was doing was having a birthday! Thankfully Geri posted a picture of this awesome Twitter Cake made to celebrate said birthday on Natuba. Let the kids have The Little Mermaid, I want a Twake! (Of course this begs the question, if I make a cake for someone to cheer them up after being fired, should I feature the “Fail Whale” on it?).
