Chompy piranha plant earrings
My gut feeling here is that these rather painful looking earrings will sell well. Let’s face it; they certainly earn plenty of geek points. The piranha plant is famous but it’s pretty hard to do anything with it visually. Step forward Lizglizz and her Etsy shop who proves to be the exception to the rule. […]
Duck Tales + Doctor Who = Doctales
Take a cartoon from easier years – Duck Tales. Take a sci-fi series that’s still with us, manages to be British and yet international at the same time – Doctor Who. Mix the two together, folding rather than stirring and season with some artistic talent. What do you get? You get Doctales! You get River […]

Joe’s fire-breathing pony
Joe and co teamed up for the Hackerspace makefair and wanted to set interests ablaze. One tactic was to have impressive mohawks (that’s Joe with the pink hair) and to wear a kilt. Another tactic was to have a wimote controlled fire-breathing pony. So; there you have it. The question; “Can I have a pony” […]
The fantastic art of Chris Foss
Chris Foss’ hardback of his SF art became available in July. At the time of blogging Amazon UK has sold out. That’s an impressive book!
