Fly On, You Neon Pegasus!
I want to go on record as being a fan of whimsy and wackiness. Such as the song ‘Neon Pegasus’ by Perry Gripp!
It’s been on Youtube for awhile, but my girlfriend found it just the other day, and I love it! I live for this kind of musical insanity. It’s like something fro Adventure Time. Plus it’s a catchy tune!
The Greatest S.H.I.E.L.D. Job Application Ever
Want to get a job working on Joss Whedon’s upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. television show? Well you’re going to have to get in line behind Adam Levermore, because he has gone above and beyond the call of job hunting duty.
What the heck was Grant Imahara doing there?
Anyway, Levermore and his C-List Hollywood buddies made that as an audition, of sorts, to be a graphic designer on Whedon’s new show. That is amazing. That is truly geektacular. I hope he gets the job now. Granted, I don’t know if he’s any good as a graphic designer. But that’s impressive nonetheless.
I Am a Cat Person
I partially grew up on my grandparents’ farm, and they had a ton of cats. Eventually some wild cats came to live in my back yard, and slowly but surely they osmosed their way into our house. Whereas no one in my family ever had a dog.
Or maybe the reason cats are better than dogs is far more scientific:

Portal 2 Animation is the Bee’s Knees
Somebody took a 40-second clip of Portal 2 dialogue and made this cute little animation out of it. I applaud that kind of forward thinking.
A little weird that they made all the robots into humans, but nothing wrong with that in the end! It’s much more expressive and delightful that way. Big props to Not Quite Normal!
Project: Rooftop Fantastic Four Designs Are In!
The Project: Rooftop Fantastic Four redesign costumes are in, and they are, pardon the pun, fantastic! If you don’t know, Project: Rooftop is a site dedicated to redesigning superhero costumes. They hold annual contests and even have some pros weigh in on the contestants. These contests produce some of the absolute coolest costume redesigns on the Internet. And I absolutely love this kind of artistic geekery. If only the real comic book companies relied on creative types like these when it came to giving their heroes new costumes.
The best DC Comics can come up with is to add a ton of piping and lines to their new superhero reboot costumes.
Anyway, check out the #1 entry, drawn by Alejandro Bruzzese!
Personally, I’m not a big fan of this design. I like what he was going for, with the color-coded T-shirts, but it doesn’t say ‘Fantastic’ to me. It definitely plays up the explorers/adventurnauts aspect of the Fantastic Four, but it’s not as elegant or awesome as it could be. Still, the judges voted this one as the very best, so who am I to argue?
Join me after the jump for the other winners and a couple of my favorites!
