Most Awesomest Etsy Treasury Ever

Well, okay, I might be a little biased, but really, it is awfully awesome!

Zombigurumi (whose shop is also pretty awesome) made a B-Movie treasury, just in time for Halloween! I love B-Movies. Especially ones like this:

(Army of Darkness, in case you didn't already know)

and this:



and this:



Okay, I guess I have a thing for Bruce Campbell. But really, who doesn't?

Anyway, here's Zombigurumi's B-Movie treasury. Go check it out. (Did you notice who's first?!)

Award-sies

One of my very favorite kinds of recognition is from other artists. Especially ones I admire. This morning I found that Leen Christens, who I recently "discovered" through Illustration Friday, left me a wonderful award at her blog.


Apparently, the way this works is that now I have to list 15 of my favorite "lovely" blogs. This is actually a great way to introduce those who are interested to several fantastic artists, so I have no problem with taking a little time to do so! Go check out Leen's blog as well as Jenny's, Enchanted Moon Illustration, who gave this award to Leen before she passed it on!
She has a list of very talented artists, too. I could spend all day looking from list to list if only I didn't have to work! Arg...

So here's my list to pass on, just in case you haven't already checked out my reading list over there. You don't have to pass it on if you don't want to. And if I didn't mention you, don't worry, I still love you, but it would take all day to post all my favorites!

Turtle Sundae

So these guys -
are currently advertising something called a Turtle Sundae in our area. They say it's soft serve ice cream, caramel, fudge, and salted pecans. Meh. I'm not much for pecans.


Anyway, when I saw the sign at an A&W near my house my instant reaction was this:





I like mine better.
