Mark a.k.a. Broken Journalist created this awesome steampunk AT-AT walker as an engagement present for his fiancée. There are so many wonderful little details on this piece. It’s clearly a labour of geeky love.
To Mark and his Star Wars and steampunk-loving lass, the Geyser of Awesome congratulations on your engagement!

Finished Doctor Whooves. Hooves? Not too shabby for my first pony plush. Working off the original generation My Little Pony pattern. Unless otherwise claimed he’ll be available at Geek Girl Con in Seattle in October.

Artist Larry Moss (previously featured here) and the rest of the Airigami team recently completed this awesome 20-foot-long balloon sculpture of an Acrocanthosaurus, a predatory dinosaur from the early Cretaceous period. It took the team four days to create the giant inflated beast. He was installed in the Virgina Museum of Natural History beside the cast of an actual Acrocanthosaurus skeleton, where he’ll remain for as long as his component balloons can hold their air.

I’ll be at Geek Girl Con in Seattle in October so I’m trying to make some stuff to sell. Here’s my first attempt at a Pony. It’s based on the G1 body style.

Hopefully this will look more like a sloth and less like some kind of evil monster when I’m finished

What is hot pink with butterfly wings and sharp talons?

Anybody want to play “Guess the project”?

Artist Hillary White (previously featured here) has created an extensive and completely awesome series of paintings, entitled Pop Reinterpretation, for which she beautifully recreates painting by the Old Masters depicting a wide variety of pop culture icons in place of the original subjects.
R2-D2 becomes Francois-Xavier Fabre’s Portrait Of A Man, Kermit the Frog becomes Frans Hals’ Portrait of a Young Woman, Optimus Prime becomes Anthony Van Dyck’s Self Portrait With Sunflower, and so on.
Hillary has painted so many of these wonderful portraits, it’s an almost unbearably awesome accomplishment. If you like these even half as much as we do, check out the entire Pop Reinterpretation gallery to see the rest.

One person’s junk is another person’s treasure - or another person’s art supplies. These awesome animal sculptures are called Salvageables. They’re the work of artist Nathalie Trépanier, who creates them using just about any discarded inanimate object or parts of objects that she can find. She transforms scattered abandoned items into wondrous creatures that look like they’re about to get up and walk, trot, swim, or fly away.
“I’m a treasure hunter, either on a beach in Gaspésie, in the garbage cans of my neighbourhood or in an industrial scrap yard… All of a sudden, in these piles of inanimate objects, I discover strange and zany beings who call out to me. This sets the stage for the birth of another character in my series of “Salvageables.”
The longer you look at them, the more elements you’ll recognize - silverware, telephones, bits of musical instruments, and on and on. We can’t help but think that these creatures would make amazing characters in a stop-motion animation film.

I sew plush things. I take commissions but very slowly.
