Kara Lindsay as Glinda in Wicked

I hope you guys are ready for a LOT of amazing new geek art this month, because I, uh, kind of got carried away. o.0 ONWARD!! Let's kick things off with some Never Ending Story goodness: "Neverending" 8X12 print, $12 Those colors! YES. I had a terrible time picking my favorites over at CocoMilla's Etsy store; there are WAY too many awesome choices: Her watercolor prints start at $15 for 6X8 prints, and she has larger sizes available, too. Go see the rest; from Disney to gaming, she's got a little of everything! Michael Banks of Suger Fueled makes adorably creepy big-eyed art, and even better, his ACEO prints are only $4! He also has a huge selection of 8X12 prints for $12 each: Go shop the rest! And since it IS October, how about this cutie from Sydey Hanson? "Little Bat" 8X10 print, $12 Not quite as Halloweeny, but I'm totally smitten with Sydney's bumble bee: "Bumblebee" 8X10 print, $12 D'awww. I'm actually terrified of anything that stings, but this guy I want to snuggle. From Love Ashley Designs, a perfectly Wicked piece: "Are You A Good Witch Or A Bad Witch?" 10X10 print, $25 Tempted to get this one for John, since he's forever singing "Popular." Which is hilarious. Artist Wisesnail, aka Namecchan, has some amaaazing Guardians of the Galaxy prints: WOW. And the 8X10s are only $15! (She has larger sizes, too.) I'm also REALLY digging her Jim Moriarty: 7X10 print, $15 Love how the background looks like smokey flames! Epbot reader Candace happens to be married to a Pixar animator, Victor Navone, and he generously donated this sweet Wall-E print for the give-away board: The white surround is much larger than this, but that's all that would fit in my scanner. :) And speaking of the give-away board, here are some more of my new additions: "I Am Who," by my buddy Charlie Thurston. (You can buy it at the link for $10) "Iron Giant Superman #1" by Matthew Waite That's a mash-up of Iron Giant with the first Superman Comic, btw, which is brilliant if you know the movie. Since Waite only sells at conventions, I picked this one up for the board. Check out the rest of his work over on DeviantArt or Tumblr. From another of my good friends, Bianca Roman-Stumpff: SO CUTE. (Groot is the new darling of Artist Alleys everywhere, and I am definitely not complaining.) Most of Bianca's work still isn't available online (HINT HINT BIANCA), so she donated that one for the board! She's also been churning out new Puff Monsters, which you *can* buy online through her Facebook page or sometimes her Etsy shop. The pumpkin one! Ah! And I ended up buying the blue & white one clapping in the middle. Bianca also has a few prints available over on Society6, so you can check over there for more. Remember Tampa Fanboy Expo, the convention last month where I fangirled over James Hance? Well, right next to him was Andrew "Drone" Cosson, and I FLIPPED over his baby Groot: I've had this hanging in my office for over a month now, and I JUST NOW realized it looks like he's flipping us the bird. Which somehow makes him even cuter. Andrew told me he'd just sold the companion Rocket Raccoon painting, and even worse, HE DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO! Nooo! So to console myself, I also bought these two original ink drawings from him: Who else wants Andrew to make a Doctor Who coloring book now? Andrew doesn't have a website or even an online portfolio, which is downright criminal. He directed me to his personal Facebook page, but I don't think he has everything there. I also can't believe he doesn't scan his original paintings to make prints! Arg! So Andrew, if you see this, please, GET THEE TO ETSY. Or Society6. Or DeviantArt. Or something. Ahem. Also at Tampa Fanboy, there was the delightful duo of Jennipho, who sculpts 3D sweetness like this: ... and Victoria, who paints & draws sweetness like this: Her prints start at just $7! John had to drag me away from their booth, since I kept going back to chat. They're both super friendly and uber talented, so definitely check out both sites! And finally, since this is too perfect to show off right before Halloween, check out what John just got for his game room: Haha! John says he either wants a picture of me in it, looking appropriately terrified, or a drawing of a uvula. I'm lobbying for the uvula. The artist, Myrcury's Toybox, was at a local street show event here in Orlando last week, and we couldn't stop giggling over her tiny monster frames. Check out her Etsy shop for more, plus fun skull & monster eye hair clips, original art, and painted coffin boxes like these: K, guys, that does it for this month's roundup! Now, you know the drill: comment below for a chance to win your choice of art from my Pinterest Art Give-Away Board! I'll ship anywhere, so international comments are welcome! (Last month I sent art to Africa and Australia. SO COOL. And expensive. But mostly cool.) I'll announce my randomly-selected winner sometime next week. Happy commenting, everyone, and happy weekend! The give-away has ended, and the winner is Renee from PA! Congrats, Renee, and please e-mail me your mailing address & choice of art!
