This weeks PotW is just bursting with all kinds of greatness! Everyone’s favorite boy wizard (or at least mine) Harry Potter and David Bowie’s alien rocker persona Ziggy Stardust combine their lighting bolts in this stellar art. The art is inspired from David Bowie’s iconic album Aladdin Sane (see picture below). “Harry Stardust” was created by Evan Ferstenfeld & Enkel Dika.

Since I participate in massive amounts of reading it was about time I took the time to tell you all about literature near and dear to my heart. I am going to starting off on this ongoing series of “Book Crushes” with a young adult book written by (my author crush) Sherman Alexie author of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, War Dances, Reservation Blues and more. The best-selling Native American author Sherman Alexie brought us [...]

I’m a big fan of Lovecraft’s work, although many are dense and difficult to get through, the mythos he created are so fascinating. You find yourself immersed in his cosmic and dream worlds you forget where you are, well at least I do. I think the best, and worst part, is that his stories are told [...]
It’s Tuesday again and you know what that means! This week is dedicated to The Bard. I just adore Shakespeare and it was about that time to show it off, with other people’s tattoos lol! Literary tattoos are my all time favorite because literature means so much to me (I got my Bachelors in Secondary Ed- English). I feel like literary quotes can not only be deeply personal but also has the ability to share [...]
