Steampunk Snow White

April 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Not the usual mashup, I think, despite both steampunk and Disney princesses being popular choices. The cosplayer is Marta / Enjoy This and she’s wearing a design based on NoFlutter’s design for the Steampunk Fairy Tale Group Art project. The photographer is Alexander Nikolis.

Cute, clever but anger prone robot dinosaur pet

April 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As someone who shares a flat with a Pleo I’m interested in Boomer. This robot dinosaur looks to be rather quicker and a little more fierce. In particular, Boomer has an angry “chase” mode in which he goes after whoever annoyed it. The best way to annoy the little T-Rex bot? Pull his tail.

DuckTales the Soul version

April 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Scott Bradlee’s time turns to the old classic – DuckTales and presents this soulful cover version. As far as remakes go this manages to be both out of the box and dead centre to common sense. That’s a good trick. Love the cover? You can grab it on iTunes.
