The Eureka Seven movie Hi-Evolution cuts up time and retells some of the show while adding on a few new bits. Most significantly it visits the world shaping event that was the disaster known as “The Summer of Love” (there’s nothing lovely about it). This means there are at least two camps of possible viewers […]
Anime fidget spinners

5 stunning illustrations from ArseniXC
You can find ArseniXC over at Deviant Art where he’s been for at least 8 years. Interestingly, you can also tune into ArseniXC’s Twitch channel. The Russian artist isn’t available for commisions, works in both 2d and 3d and likes realism, anime and comics. Sounds about right to me!

You can see more of Giu over at her Deviant Art page.
Tostadora: The new kid on the geeky wall art block
I’m in the market for wall art. I moved flat over the Christmas holiday, now have a wall beside my computer and enough space to hang three geeky prints. It’s been quite a challenge. I want the three prints to be complementary but also want to reflect a wide range of geekiness; fantasy, sci-fi and […]
