The Amazing Art of Ian Glaubing

I literally can't get enough of Ian Glaubing's art! I just found out about him yesterday and I'm already smitten! Not only is his style so adorable, but he picks the best shows and movies to illustrate. Check out what we've found!

 This one is hilarious. Such a funny running gag on Arrested Development. We've even done a pattern up based on the Bluth's chicken antics.

And there's so much more. He's drawn a ton of stuff from Back to the Future, Mario Bros., Ghostbusters and even Hitchcock films.  Check out his stuff on his website or his Etsy shop. (via)

Cross Stitch Pattern Roundup

Here's what we've been up to the last few weeks.

 I absolutely love this Firefly cross stitch pattern! It has the full cast of the late-great Firefly show (which I know we all miss -- a lot). I love the detail Jesse's put into this pattern. It has everything from Jayne's hat to Kaylee's oil smudges. And it includes one of our favourite Firefly quotes: "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." Check it out in our shop!

 Another pattern we've added to our shop is based on the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. I can't believe how well Johnny Depp looks in Pixel form! Check it out here.

And last but certainly not least...our first Star Wars cross stitch pattern! This design has all of our favourite characters from the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It's the biggest pattern we've released to date. Great job Jesse! Check it out over here.

Well that catches us up on our new patterns. Stay tuned to check out this Wednesday's pattern release and other neato-burrito stuff!

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 on Etsy

So as you might have noticed by our Wookie the Chew post, I love me some Star Wars mash-ups. This t-shirt mashes two of my favourite things - Star Wars and Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Tom Servo as R2-D2! Can it get any better?

Mystery Science Theater and Star Wars Mash-Up - via Fashionably Geek

I haven't seen that much MST3K fan art in awhile, so after finding that t-shirt I went on an Etsy bender to discover more fantastic Mystery Science stuff! Unfortunately it was a very short-lived bender. We need more awesome, people! Here's a few samples of what I found:

Tom Servo Print by TimmyK

Blank Card Set by TwoHungryBlackbirds

Tom Servo Necklace by PicaPicaPress

You can probably tell that our favourite MST3K character is little Tom Servo. Also I think that necklace would make a super bottle opener! Someone with mad metal skills should do that. I would buy it.

Stay tuned for more awesome geekery, more Cross Stitch Heroes, and more general awesomeness.

Star Wars & Winnie the Pooh Mash-ups

As I was trolling Pinterest this week I fell in love. I was introduced to an artist who mashes two of my very favorite things - Star Wars and Winnie the Pooh. I love his style, I love his work and I love that all the proceeds from these prints goes to paying the medical bills for his little girl. Check out some of James Hance's mash-ups!

I try and pick my favourite print, but I just can't decide. Go check them out, there's other great things to love over there. If I had little ones I would definitely put these prints in their rooms. Stay tuned for more great geek love, what we've been doing with our shop and other nifty finds.
