I have a not-so-secret secret to confess. I am a geek. I can quote Star Wars and Dune with the best of them. I am obsessed with zombies. I have dreams about traveling in The Doctor’s TARDIS to have picnics in the past on alien planets. I am also persnickety and have strong opinions on aesthetics and taste. All of these things mean I am an absolute nightmare to shop for. Friends and family are often left scratching their heads when gift-giving time rolls around. I know that neither I nor they are not alone in this quandary.
If you aren’t a geek yourself, then odds are you have someone on your shopping list who is…and if you’re anything like my family you would probably appreciate any help you can get at getting your geek the perfect gift. This is where I help you. I hereby present the ultimate Gift Guide for Geeks. Consider it my gift to you. May it serve you well. Good luck on your shopping endeavors and may the force be with you.
Do you have a Whovian on your hands? (A Whovian is a Doctor Who fan, just to clarify.) There’s no need to exterminate any hopes of finding cool gifts for them. Check out these timeless goodies.
Zombiephiles to shop for? Fans of The Walking Dead are in luck since zombies are so tremendously popular right now. They’re everywhere! The real trick is finding items that aren’t completely cheesy or over the top gross. It’s a fine line, but as long as you keep your head and use this guide, you’ll live to shop another day.
Do I really need to explain Star Wars to anyone? Anyone? Do I? Come on. It’s Star Wars. I’ve only ever met one person in my entire life who has never seen Star Wars. One. That’s it. One. So there you go.

Harry Potter fans are certainly one of the more diverse groups out there…young, old, guy, gal…Harry Potter attracts them all which means there are tons of Potter-inspired gifts to choose from. Allow me to shed some light and show you the best of the best of the best. Expecto Patronum, my dear.
If you’re shopping for someone who knows what the “T” in Captain James T. Kirk stands for impress them by telling them that the “T” stand for Tiberius and then hand them one of these awesome pressies. You can set your phasers to stun with these gifts.
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.

I realized I haven’t offered any new Art For All downloads in quite a while. I figure it’s long overdue. With that in mind, Walt Whitman and I are giving you this little gem today. May it uplift you and bring you hope. Always with love…always with love.
No rambling today, no siree bob. It’s straight to the point today. To celebrate 11-11-11 I’m having a massive 24 hour sale on everything from art to reiki sessions. Why not a Veterans Day Sale? Because I find it disrespectful to celebrate our Veterans by offering discounts on my work. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems insulting. If you want to celebrate our Veterans we should all try thanking one instead. Wait…I promised to get to the point. Sorry about that…just something that had to be said. You know how I get. OK. So here we go…
These offers start right this very second and are good until midnight CST, 11-12-11. Don’t miss out. Treat yourself to a little something or get some holiday shopping done early…either way, these are too good to pass up…and be sure to enjoy this most cosmic of dates.
Oh! For those of you interested in the portrait sale, you can download my current pricing guide here.
Wishing you a day full of eleveny goodness!
