Pirates versus ninjas? Please. We all know the real literary smack-down is between vampires and wizards.
Whether you’re on team fangs or team fireballs, you can find cards and bookmarks to give to friends on the opposite side of the debate on Erin’s Hesed Books and Gifts Etsy store.
The Goblin Hut on Etsy sells a variety of geeky things worth checking out, but what I like best is this Spiderman hip flask made from old comic books. It’s one of his featured items, so if you want it, you’ll probably need to scoop it up fast!
Because your limited edition Star Wars t-shirt, Legend of Zelda backpack, and Dr. Who socks don’t announce it loudly enough. You want people to know without a doubt that you’re a GEEK, and damn proud of it.
If you’re ready to literally label yourself, check out these comic-book-esque “Geek” text necklaces made by Israeli artist, Ran.
Offered through his Etsy store, Milkool, Ran also has plenty of other font-tastic (sorry, I couldn’t help it), laser-cut necklaces for those who prefer other labels, such as “Nerd,” or “Dork.”
Custom Comix over on Etsy has managed to take nerdy jewelry to a whole new level. She uses real comic books and makes awesome chunky bangle bracelets.
This particular one features Batman and Catwoman, but Custom Comix can make them with virtually any character! How’s that for talent?!
“Great A’Tuin the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf…”
I know the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has dedicated fans (there’s some overlap with fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy–which is how I heard about Discworld) and this amigurumi proves it! I haven’t read the series (yet. The Colour of Magic is on my bookcase), but this makes me want to even more. PlanetJune decided to make this epic Discworld after making a sea turtle: “I spent hours studying, sketching, simplifying and photoshopping the Discworld Mapp so I could recreate it in cotton yarn”. I’m so glad she did! AND she has the approval of Mr.Sir Prachett himself!
This book cover idea is so simple, yet so awesome, I’m slightly upset I didn’t think of it first! Way to go Icoeye for beating me to it… now I wish I had more books of the same size to properly pull this effect off! (Think of the design potential… Space Invaders, Mario, anything 8bit = crazy pixel fun!)
There is also a PDF link included to make your own bookshelf designs (yay!)
