Bibliochaise by Nobody&co

I was just thinking how perfect this would be for my humble little apartment when I read the designer’s quote:

“Twelve years ago we lived in a tiny flat, full of books but with nowhere to sit. Problems are always the best inspirations.That same year we drew the first Bibliochaise: a cube in which to sit, with slots all around to put books in. Geometry is magic. Each time you draw a cube or a square, something wonderful can happen.”

Perfect summary. Apparently the chair can hold 300 books and (even more win) comes in a range of different colors. You can visit its home right here.

Need this!

I’m about to get all sorts of political. If you don’t like it, this is not the blog you’re looking for. Move along.

Four years ago, I voted for a man who promised to bring change to our country. This year, I am planning on making the exact same vote. Plenty of people have many negative things to say about Barack Obama. Out of everything that has been said throughout not just this election year, but throughout the last four years, there is one simple statement that I absolutely cannot stand…

“Obama hasn’t done anything the entire time he’s been in office.”

(well, that and the whole, “OBAMA IS A MUSLIM TERRORIST” because believe it or not, there are still some idiots out there that truly believe this…)

Here I have for you, ladies and gentlemen, is a list of 108 things Obama has accomplishedduring his presidency so far. 

1. Saved the collapse of the American automotive industry by making GM restructure before bailing them out, and putting incentive money to help the industry

2. Shifted the focus of the war from Iraq to Afghanistan, and putting the emphasis on reducing terrorism where it should have been all along

3. Relaxed Anti-American tensions throughout the world

4. Signed order to close the prisoner “torture camp” at Guantanamo Bay

5. Has made the environment a national priority, and a primary source for job creation

6. Has made education a national priority by putting emphasis and money behind new ideas like charter schools, but speaking directly to school children in telling them they have to do their part.

8. $789 billion economic stimulus plan

9. Appointment of first Latina to the Supreme Court

A friend asked how I do this thing, so I decided to make a tutorial for it! FYI, this is Photoshop CS5. Hope it helps in some way! If there’s anything that completely confuses you, don’t hesitate to ask me. :) 

Here is a fullsize version.

(This font’s exclamation point looks too much like an “L,” so I apologize for sounding too excited in my tutorial.)

Icarus Giveaway/Contest!

So, I have some Icarus stuff from Fan Expo. I have prints, charms, and pins!  

I thought it’d be fun to do a little giveaway/contest. So let’s do it!

Icarus is my little webcomic about an aspiring inventor who wanders too close to the edge of the world and becomes involved in the politics of the magical forest dwelling people who live there - namely, he becomes a babysitter for a seven foot tall magic teenager who just wants to go home. And a friend. He guesses. Whatever. That kid’s a weirdo.

HOW YOU CAN WIN SOME RAD STUFF!

Ok, there are two ways to win stuff, because I like makin shit complicated FUN!!

Regular Way!
If you just want to like/reblog, that’s cool. You get one like and 5 reblogs. That gets you: one 17x5 print of your choice, one 4x6 print of your choice, 1 charm of your choice, and all four pins. (Or if you live somewhere shipping is super crazy, a commission! Yay!) The winner will be picked randomly.

Fun Time Fan Way!

You can do some fun fan stuff to get entered to win everything, and more! Woah! Do up some fanart, or a fic, make a little soundtrack thingy, headcanons, cosplay?! Whatever you want. If you’re not sure if what you want to do fits, just send me an ask! This is also picked randomly, so don’t get all stressed out or anything. You also get the like and the reblogs, if you want to use them. w/e w/e do what you want.

If you win this way, you get: all prints, all charms, all pins, and an Icarus comic about whatever you want - within reason, don’t get all creepy boner fanfic time on me here! If you live somewhere I can’t ship to, you get two commissions and an Icarus comic about whatever. It’s a bummer that I can’t ship everywhere, but I still want to give people stuff! ;A;

It is probably easier to send whatever you to do me by email at hvtumblr@gmail.com, because tumblr sucks at sending people stuff. Send it to me with your tumblr username attached and a link to the post (if you post it on tumblr) because I’ll reblog all the entries either here or on the comic tumblr. You get free promo out of this! Yeah!

The giveaway ends on November 14th. YEAH!
