Reader Submission: Bioshock Educational Posters
Geekcrafts reader Lauren, owner of Etsy shop theinkblot writes:
“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.

Chibi Carmine Charm Necklace
If asked to describe the characters from the popular Gears of War video game series, “cute” would not be the first adjective that pops into my mind. Macho? Yes. Beefy? Yes. Adorable? No.
Well, Etsy store Wonderland Contraband is changing that image just a little bit with their tough-yet-sweet version of Private Anthony Carmine.
The charm stands less than four centimeters tall, but is chock-full of carefully rendered details. I can’t get over how the artist, Shiela, made a weapon like the lancer actually look cute, even when spattered in blood!
I’d love to see the rest of Delta Squad in chibi-charm form. It’d make a great bracelet to wear to a Gears of War 3 release party later this year.
