Julia Sherred's Geeky Pleasures

I am very excited about March’s Featured Artist of the Month! Jules Walker (nee Julia, but like me Jules wearing a hat she knitted goes by Jules, @Liger), is a very talented young lady. I have mentioned her and her work a few times on my site (Behold! It’s A Cover! Of A Book!, Knitted Steel, Geek of the Week), but... 

Cassandra Pitman (or as she is commonly known, Cat) is my featured artist for the month of February. It has been awhile since someone has submitted their art for me to feature, and I am happy that I get to feature Cat’s. I asked for a bio, and like me, she had difficultly writing one up so I will try my best to let you... 

My good friend @Emorimiku is a big time comics nut. He loves to wear his Green Lantern shirt, his Flash hoodie, and is always finding some new and obscure work to wax poetic about in an attempt to capture my interest and suck me into the paneled and colorful world that he loves to explore. I must confess that there is some appeal...

She makes some amazing things with chain maille including these bracelets, the proceeds of which go to another PAXer who losing her leg due to an auto-immune disorder to help pay for her hospital bills. She also designed the cover... 

My featured artist for the month of October is me. I feel odd doing this, really, really odd. I had another person slated for this month but they were unable to get me their art before the deadline. I had planned on featuring some of my own stuff at some point, just not this soon. I am not featuring all of my art. I do want... 

I am not much for hipster fashions and I do not know how I feel about this “geek chic” thing, BUT I do know what I like. When I was shown this thanks to a fellow Tweep @angiek42, I exploded! I LOVE He-Man. When I was younger, when my friends and I played He-Man and She-Ra we did not use action figures, we were the... 

Duane Howard is my featured artist for the month of September. I find his photography to be absolutely beautiful. Below you will find a few samples of his work.

I love fractals.  If the wiki definition confuses you here is a more concise description from the Britannica Consice Encyclopedia via answers.com: “In mathematics, the study of complex shapes with the property of self-similarity, known as fractals. Rather like holograms that store the entire image in each part of the...
