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... 

What could be more geeky than art made from Rubik’s Cubes? Earlier this week @wilw tweeted a video of this amazing rendition of The Last Supper created using over 4000 Rubik’s Cubes.

She also designed the cover...

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.

There is one thing in particular she creates that I want to promote as it hits really close to home.  It is in support of another PAXian who lives with an auto-immune disorder and is losing her leg.  As...
