Sensory overload! NYCC/NYAF is here and I’m beyond excited. It’s my geek Christmas!  The con was open for a few hours on Thursday for press, professionals, VIP and 4-day pass holders. Of course I was there in my dalek shirt trying to see as much as I could without the massive crowd that will attend Friday-Sunday. I’ll be there every damn day so if you’re at New York Comic Con/New York Anime Fest hit me up [...]

I kept coming across Chris’ Etsy shop The Modern Stylographer and knew it was a sign from the Blog Gods that he must be featured as my Etsy Crush of the Week. You will lose yourself in his Etsy shop filled with nearly 200 gorgeous minimalistic and modern designs showcasing your favorite fandoms across the galaxies. He’s got everything from Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men, Harry Potter and so much more. And the [...]

Honestly, I don’t know what else I could possible say to express my deep and undying love for Doctor Who. Perhaps the questionable amount of time I spent in the depths of the internet searching for the best Doctor Who fan art can justify my Whovian status (or so can waiting over 12 hours total to see the cast and and Q&A with The Moff and Co.). I suspect only our beloved blue box could hold [...]

I bet you thought this post would come with leg warmers and shoulder pads, nope! Just totally gnarly X-Men apparel from Mighty Fine (welovefine.com) from their 80′s Art Fashion Series. These bodacious X-Men babes are inspired by the 1980′s minimalistic illustration style of Patrick Nagel. The day I discovered welovefine.com was the same day I ordered a Storm Nagel-inspired shirt (and Phoenix for a friend’s birthday gift). The icing on the cake was when I received my package in the mail and [...]

Megan Lara is an aspiring illustrator and a “huge nerd” who claims to, ” …draw way too much nouveau, but that’s okay because nouveau is awesome.” And I definitely agree, on the awesome part. You’ve probably seen her nouveau work before whether it was Nintendo Nouveau or Marvel Nouveau. I’m slightly obsessed with her work and have had several brain melts trying to decide on which of her many gorgeous designs to get.  This weeks Pictures of the [...]

I’ve featured the pop artist who is partial to neon hues, Technodrome, in the past and wanted to feature some of his newer pieces. I was also able to interview the Brooklyn based artist and find out more about him, his art and his inner geek.

I had to bid my black Princess Peach farewell because despite how much I liked her. She (clearly) belonged to Nintendo and I’m trying to avoid any possible legal issues in the future. So let’s all give a warm welcome to my new Girl Gone Geek mascot made by the super talented Anand Duncan! I found Anand on Girls Drawing Girls and her site Hula Bunny. I loved her style particularly a pink mermaid she created, I [...]

Tommervik created these wonderful cubism infused Star Wars artworks. I think The Met or MoMA should make some space on their walls for one of Tommervik’s pieces, don’t you?

If you’re like me you are counting down to the last installment of Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 2 with a combination of excitement and sadness. Excitement for the obvious reason, it’s Harry Freaking Potter; and sadness because it’s all coming to an end. No more book, no more movies. There is Pottermore… but still! Like many of you, I’ve been a Potter fan for over a decade now. I even got my parents [...]
