These shoes are fashion monsters

April 10, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These shoes are the design of Etsy trader Fashion 4 Freedom. The store uses ancient Vietnamese wood art to produce a range of designs and talks about “reincarnated soles”. The shop, though, has a US address. There are rubber soles right on the base of the wooden clog-like heel and so these monster shoes do […]

Don your very own Cubone skull mask

April 10, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At a glance this mask might look a bit sinister. What is? A dragon? Some sort of dark Viking warrior? What if I told you the skull worn is typically that of a dead mother? This is a Cubone skull mask. Cubone is a lonely Pokemon that cries itself to sleep each night as it […]

Would this Rule 63 Goblin King lure you to her labryinth?

April 9, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is one of those cosplays that make so much sense in hindsight. This is Jareth the Goblin King, played by David Bowie, from Labyrinth. Except; this is a gender-swapped Jareth played by Ginny Di. You can tell Ginny knows the film well and has studied Bowie’s character. There are a few photograph credits to […]

April 9, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Art of Total War by Martin Robinson is a great supplement for any fan of the Total War computer game series. This is not a book with tactical tips or tricks. This is simply a book that dives deep into the stunning artwork and visuals the game is associated with. You’re in safe hands […]

Girl vs God: A review of Good Luck Girl!

April 9, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Wikipedia tells me the target demographic for Good Luck Girl! (Binbo-gami ga! Aka “This Damn God of Poverty!” in Japanese) is a Shonen. In other words; the intended audience is young men. I suppose that makes sense. There are scenes when our busty college girl is in cosplay or just not wearing very much. She’s […]

These monsters just need some love

April 8, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Designed by Teo Zirnis these monsters are part of a set. Good news if you like Zirnis’ softly spoken style as the talented artist has a Redbubble store.

Review of the Gadget Show Live 2015

April 8, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Attending the Gadget Show Live has become a bit of a traditional trip down south for Geek Native. We’ve been going since 2011. This year the expo managed to recapture some of the energy that had been missing from the more recent incarnations. It’s worth understanding what you’re going to. The Gadget Show is a […]
