Merriment Monday

Introducing a new segment today. I'm on the internet a lot these days, and I'm always finding some hilarious thing or another. So once a week I'll be posting some of my favorites to cheer you all up for the coming week.
The first one is something I found reading GeeksareSexy.net. It's from the Portraits in Dramatic Time series, this one is Alan Rickman making a cup of tea, slowed down, and to a track from inception.

Next up is a link from the Set Phasers to LOL section of the I can has Cheezburger site. Someone compiled all of this gentleman's tweets about reading the Robocop remake script into one picture. You can go see it here - Robocop Remake Will Likely Be Terrible.

This one a few people have shared on Twitter, and so I share it here with you all, Bat Cat. Clicking on the link below will take you to a cute little animation.

This next fun item is more of a cute funny thing I'm probably going to buy from Kawaiification Creation, it's one of her charms of a Crying Tofu.


And we'll end this Monday with 2 fun videos. The first is a clip made from something discussed on JesuOtaku's Saturday stream one time, A Wild Miaka Appears.
I'm going to hear those sounds in my head whenever I watch that series now. ^_^

Lastly is something Oancitizen posted on Twitter, Rachel Bloom singing the Seasons of Love in Klingon.

Hope you all enjoyed and that your week is just a little brighter.

Starving Artist Convention

My local comic book shop, The Encounter, does a lot of fun things. Card game tournaments, board game night, and today I got to check out what they call their 'Starving Artist Convention,' where local artists all get together in the back room to sell their merchandise. There's usually a wide assortment of items, from artwork and comics to clay and perler beads. Due to work today I didn't get there until a bit before closing, and only 3 were left, but they were awesome.
First up was Chris from Ninjas Don't Knit. Funny comic, and at the shows he's usually selling perler/hama bead sprites. I acquired 2 super cute Lemmings magnets.
Next was Tiffany of Tiffany's Shop.Link takes you to her etsy store, she had quite a bit of it there, I picked up some tiny clay nail art pieces. Even though I work with clay, these millifiore pieces were just so tiny, I don't think I could ever work that small. Here's a picture from her shop to show how small these are.

Lastly we had Mina from Call Me Mina (check out her blog, link in the name) and Michelle, a writer with a new book just out, Worldpool. Link will take you to where you can buy her book.
Mina has some fantastic artwork and prints available, I could only justify one thing, so I went for her book she had and got a doodle in the back of her cooking up some chicken, so cute! Below is a doodle posted on her blog, be sure to check it out.

Apparently many more artists were there that I didn't get to see, check out the Expo's facebook page to be notified of the next one. https://www.facebook.com/LVStarvingArtistExpo
