Beware of the adorable, homicidal lamps.
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Pixar’s infamous desk lamp mascot’s constant brutal attacks on the letter “I” has finally taken its toll and now Luxo Jr. must pay for his crimes. Does the death sentence seem suitable for the crime committed? I sure think so. Luxo killed a beloved vowel for gawd sakes! I say give you letter killer the chair and get it over with. John Lasseter must be crying after realizing what kind of monster he has created all those years ago. It’s always the bright ones that turn out to be screwed up in the end (see what I did there? Yeah, I’m lame). Hit the jump to see the crime AND punishment in action.

flatness is god.
I think is it is pretty common feature now on igeektrooper to spotlight the work of some very talented artists. This this around, it is my turn and I wanted to feature an artist I have been following for couple years now. Known as belldandies (aka. adi.s.) on DeviantArt, belldandies is a brilliant graphic arts who work features vector-style graphics with simple (but deep) color schemes. Unfortunately, even after hours and hours of searching, there is very information about who belldandies actually is. Other than the fact that he resides in San Francisco, the rest is pretty much a mystery. Some of the most popular work he has done is based on comic and sci-fiction characters. He has given characters such as G.I. Joe’s Baroness, X-Men’s Jean Grey and Storm, and Dave Steven’s The Rocketeer the “belldandies” treatment. belldandies’ vector art style is beautifully elegant and haunting while his meticulous use of various levels of red and black gives the art a vibrant personality. If the world was flat, belldandies would be king.

“Family Feud!” The Incredibles versus the Fantastic Four!
With the news of Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of Marvel Entertainment, we can only imagine what can happen with our beloved comic book characters such as Spider-man and X-Men once Disney gets their over-sized mouse hands on it.

Twitter was buzzing all day yesterday about Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of Marvel Entertainment (actually, the news was pretty much beaten to death before noon). A lot of people were talking about their dream crossovers and duos such as “Beauty and the Hulk“, “Little Nemo & Namor“, and my choice, “Iron Man versus Gizmo Duck“. Twitter-meister @bonniegrrl (Bonnie Burton, author, sci-fi/horror geek, editor/writer at Lucasfilm) inspired me to doodle a little sketch when I saw this tweet from her:
“Can I have dibs on writing the Deadpool vs. Goofy comic?”
Here we have “The Merc Goof with a Mouth”. Goofy’s featured in Deadpool fashion. You’re not going to see many of these off-beat blog posts from me, so enjoy them while they last.
