Welcome to the launch of Geeks in Art, a place for geeks to gather and celebrate how amazing geek culture can be. Our aim is to create a community of like-minded geeks; a place for us to gather and share how we’ve managed to use geekdom as a guiding light.
My name’s Ashley, and I’ll be the primary author of the blog (though Mimi will be dropping by from time to time). My introduction to geek culture came quite young, in the form of She-Ra, Batman, and Transformers cartoons. It wasn’t until much later in life that I truly embraced my inner geek and let her fly. I’ve found inspiration in stories from across the genre, from comic books to sci-fi shows to films to blockbuster franchises. I’m able to express my passion for geek culture best by writing about it, and encouraging others to find the same hope I found.
The topics will range from inspirational posts, aimed at lifting those who are down, to humorous stories about day-to-day life. You can also find stories about everyone’s horrid Aunt Ida and supportive Uncle Jesse, how-to guides, reviews, and gift suggestions for everyone on your list. Feel free to drop us a line and suggest a topic as well, if there is something you are dying to see covered.
While this blog will be one way in which we celebrate the joy of being a geek, we also have many gift items available for sale. Mimi Moe, co-founder and artist, has designed and crafted a puntastic and geeky gifts for fans across geek culture. We encourage you to check out the store on this site, as well as our Etsy store, to see what we have in stock. Her designs are available on multiple items, and she does accept commissions. Feel free to send her an email to discuss a custom creation for the geek in your life.
