Inception totem shirt

First of all: BRRAAAAHHHMM!

Ok, now that we got that out of the way: Inception is coming to DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday, so now's a great time to get in on the $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury, which is an Inception-inspired design called "Totem Totem Pole."

The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Monday, December 6, 2010) and continues for 24 hours, and once it's over, it's gone forever.

The t-shirt design, by artist Spitfire19, is a totem pole of the totems from the film Inception, the most popular one being the top, which is at the top of the pole. Below it are the totems for the other characters in the film, and in the background is a red maze.

The shirt comes in charcoal and is available in Men's (including 2X) and in Women's sizes [...]

Geek Find: ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas TARDIS Wrapping Paper

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 12:51 PM PST

Christmas TARDIS wrapping paper

Last month, we spotlighted some very cool Doctor Who Wrapping Paper made by Merrypranxter's, aka designer Lauren Castor, sold through her Etsy shop.

Lauren tells us that thanks to our coverage of her geeky creations (as we were the first mainstream site to feature her shop and got the ball rolling), she's gotten in enough orders that she was able to lower her prices! So, if you had your eye on getting buying some of this wrapping paper, for the uber-geek in your life, now's the time!

Also, she's added a few more Christmas-themed geeky designs to her selections, including the Christmas TARDIS and Klingon Christmas. These styles are among several other Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who-themed wrapping paper and holiday cards (as well as many of her original designs).

See here at right a sample of the Doctor Who Christmas TARDIS design (which I think is my favorite!!!) [...]

From the long scarf of the Tom Baker days, to the crime against fashion that was the Sixth Doctor's outfit, to Matt Smith declaring that both bow ties and fezzes are cool, each Doctor's costume is as much a part of the mythos of the Time Lord as the sonic screwdriver, or even the TARDIS itself.

Doctor Who fan and graphic artist Alex Freeman recognizes this. Relatively known among geek fandom online for his minimalist designs for Star Wars book covers, Freeman has now taken on the challenge of applying his minimalist art approach to each Doctor's personality and appearance. Using simple outlines and colors, he making posters for each Doctor, and his Flickr page states they should be on sale soon - providing there's enough interest [...]
