September Art Roundup: Potter Pets, Superhero Tykes, & Stranger Things!

Time for more of my favorite art finds!

Casey Robin has a new "Tea and Strumpets" series that turns teas into old school Burlesque showgirls, and it is just dreamy:




Robin also has the sweetest Princesses:
Meg!

Plus a "Potter Pets" series that manages the impossible: it makes Voldemort cute.

 
 
 You KNOW you want to see the rest. Head over to Robin's Etsy shop, where prints start at $12.

Here's a first for me: I'm about to feature a coloring book. But not just ANY coloring book...

Agnes Crashes Dragon Con's "Bunny Hutch"

Dragon Con starts just a little earlier every year (at least unofficially), and for Thursday there is a "Bunny Hutch" costume contest, where everyone shows up in mashups of their favorite fandom as a Playboy Bunny or Heff. It's pretty hilarious/fabulous:






 Pics by one of my fav con photographers, David Ngo. Go check out his album for the rest!


 ... aaaaand we decided our Junk Lady Agnes had to get in on this action:

 
Hence the bunny ears. 

We didn't actually compete in the contest; just prowled the Marriott lobby, where I'm pretty sure everyone in Atlanta showed up to take her picture. I got to perform/wear Agnes the entire time, and with her improved audio and new, more interactive voice options (which both stunned and delighted a lotta passers-by) I'm pretty sure I had the best view of the Con. I'll remind John to get some video next time she's out - though it took him and two other super-patient friends-turned-security team just to get me around the floor. SO CROWDED. Already! o.0


Now we're off to the official day 1. Stay tuned for more!
