geek_girl_black_spraypaint_72

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 [...]

Picture of the Week- Star Wars Abstract Art

R2D2  By Tommervik

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? Check out: 

Picture(s) of the Week- 30 Pieces of Imaginative Harry Potter Artwork

Potter and Hedwig By Michelle Romo

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 [...]

Sunday Funnies- Why Link Really Saves Zelda

I found this comic by  Zac Gorman and his artwork on one of my favorite sites Geek-Art. I included some more of his work below.    More of Zac Gorman art:

Super Mario Bros. Enemies Reimagined Straight From Your Nightmares

I would think twice before stomping on that goomba! These Super Mario Bros. enemies look they belong in an entirely different game, maybe something the Umbrella Corporation created or a resident of Silent Hill. These darker takes on the baddies were made by Mike Puncekar.  If you like creepy things (and I know you do), check out these reimagined Pokemon (you probably don’t want to catch these).

Picture of the Week- Beautiful and Colorful Amy Pond Fan Art

Doctor Who- "In the shadow of your hearts" By Carrie-ko

While getting my daily sh*ts and giggles at Derptor Who- Questionable Doctor Who Fan Art Tumblr I found this absolutely gorgeous piece made by Carrie-ko on one of their Good Art Friday posts. The colors are captivating and Amy looks so delicate and peaceful floating in space it really illustrates science-fantasy. This also reminds me of the beginning of “The Beast Below” from Season 5. Can you spot the Doctor in the picture?

Picture of the Week- National Mario Kart League and Interview with the Artist Rodrigo Ferreira

*Mario voice* “Here we go!” This weeks PotW is also the design for the week-long contest I’m having. To see how you can win visit the CONTEST post.  The NMKL (National Mario Kart League) design was created by Rodrigo Ferreira, which combines sports logo design with my all time favorite racing game Mario Kart ( which is also the only racing video game I like). I think the combination is perfect considering the intense competitiveness MK can bring [...]

Mashup Mania: Charlie Brown x Doctor Who

Ever wonder what the Doctor Who crew would like if Schultz drew them? No? Well thankfully Larry Wentzel did and he took his mashup idea one step further and made this adorable Doctor Who x Charlie Brown series. Wentzel was actually inspired to create the Who/Brown series from the 10th Doctor panel below by Joel Watson at HijiNKS ENSUE. You can get it as a shirt also here. By Larry Wentzel

Mashup Mania: What if the Doctor Attended Hogwarts?

I can already hear fanfic being created! Until the day that Steven Moffat and J.K. Rowling put their brilliant minds together and combine the Whoniverse and Hogwarts (which will most likely never happen but a girl can dream right?!), we have this collection of Doctor Who/ Harry Potter mashup art. These came from Draw2d2 which I’ve blogged about before in Children’s Books Gone Geek. Draw2d2 is, “Draw2D2 is core group of artists who draw geeky things, simple as that. Everyone [...]

Arian Noveir created these gorgeous comic book hero splatter paint art series. Once I saw them I immediately fell in love and knew I had to feature them for Picture of the Week! I love the pop art look and how all you need is just enough color and splatter to recognize which hero is featured. Check out the interview with the talented Arian below.
