Things I Love #62

So January is officially in full swing.  I am back at work, back to blogging, back to trying to be healthy and almost back to derby.  Here's my first list of internet goodness for 2014:

A pretty impressive collection of Batman graffitti found in abandoned buildings.

Awesome stained glass posters for 80's movies.  The Terminator one is my favourite.

Star Wars characters as Warhol soup cans or, as the article title calls them, Star Warhols.

Love these Iron Fist Panda Pile Leggings and this Grave Dancer Miniskirt.

A collection of the most beloved street art of 2013.

Some sneak peeks at the new Black Milk Batman line *drools*

Kawaii Star Wars and Superhero Leggings...so super cute!

This Stained Glass Octopus Chandelier won't fit in our flat but it's still pretty amazing.

Rock Legends Wearing Today's Band Tees.

Beautiful Hyper-Real Bubblegum Drawings by Julia Randal.

Marvel Superheroes as super cute animals.

Peter Mayhew (Chewbaca) shared a whole bunch of original Star Wars set photos on Twitter.

Some created a proper Ministry of Magic website and it's amazing.

Things I Love #56

So here we are, back in November.  This year really has gone by super fast and, with everything going on this month, it's going to be December and Christmas time before we even know it!!  Kind of hard to believe hey?

AMC officially confirms The Walking Dead for Season 5.  YAY!!!

Googly Eye Books is one of the best blogs I have ever laid eyes on.  No pun intended.

This Star Wars blooper reel is all kinds of awesome:

This Lego ring from FORMA Laboratories is all kinds of awesome.  I would put Yoda on mine. 

Just love these surreal floating eye sculptures by Sophie Ryder.

Real life reinterpretations of Studio Ghibli characters.  Totoro remains the cutest character EVER!!

This super awesome hair clip is currently on it's way to me!!  Can't wait:

What Should I Read Next? is an awesome website that recommends your next read.  Love it!

Iconic movie posters by Drew Struzan...so many of my favourite movies here!

I don't particularly love this news but Bill Willingham has announced that the Fables series will come to an end with issue 150...so sad...

Chubbs the pug has the best Halloween costumes.  That is all.

How to make me cook more:  buy me this skull pancake mold, this skull baking pan and this skull egg mold:

Staying on the subject of skulls, how great is this skull DIY from A Beautiful Mess?

Hooray!!  There is a Bee and Puppycat comic coming our way!!

Church of the Jedi...super interesting read.

Have you seen The Simpsons Hobbit couch gag?  So awesome!!

I can't seem to translate this site but it has pictures of some of the quirkiest ceramic art you ever did see!

Things I Love #54

This time next week I'll officially be a 30 year old!!  I don't know how it snuck up on me so fast but suddenly, after months of waiting, my birthday is less than a week away!  Eek!  In some ways it feels like turning 30 is some of the best motivation I have ever had.  So many exciting things going on at the moment - birthdays, derby, French lessons and the fact that despite my stresses, I am doing consistently well at varsity makes me a happy girl!  Anyway, here's what I loved this week:

This game!!  We haven't actually played it yet but all information points towards awesome:

I love these nesting dolls inspired by video game characters, especially the Super Mario Bros one.

Your brain on coffee vs your brain on beer.  Interesting.

Hello Kitty contacts anyone?  Not so sure about these actually...

My desk needs these Sushi Memo Blocks ASAP.  I think I'd develop a permanent sushi craving though...

Funko have a new Star Wars range and it includes R2-D2 and Wicket!  Want!!

DC vs Marvel Roller Derby art by Kevin Bolk.  These are so super cool!

Dr Lukas Brezak has some of the best skull artwork I have ever seen.  The rest of his stuff is pretty impressive as well.

Mailbooks for Good is possibly one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a while.  

Black Milk Clothing's Halloween collection is fantastic.  I want all of it...

Speaking of Halloween, check out Guillermo Del Toro's intro to The Simpsons Tree House of Horror:

And in case you are wondering about all the references, someone has sorted that out for us.  Check out the video here.

If Halloween was a bigger thing in South Africa, I would totally make this googly eye wreath for our door.  In fact I might just do it anyway.

I'd also be taking the lazy route and opting for either this Peppermint Butler dress, this Jake the Dog dress, this Fionna Hooded dress or this Nightmare Before Christmas Sally dress.

And lastly, Pixar's 22 rules of story telling are full of good advice!
