American Born Chinese By Gene Luen Yang

This is one of the first graphic novels that I've read lately that has truly made an impact on me. It was actually so good that I read it in two sittings and since I've got a lot going on right now that's kind of an incredible thing! I really, really hate spoiling books by saying so much about it that you feel that you've already read it by the time you get your hands on it so I won't say much of anything about it except that it's truly exceptional and since I borrowed the copy I currently have in my hands right now from the library, I really need to buy myself a copy of my own.

Worth owning, worth reading (more than once).

Bitter Luigi Cross Stitch

This fantastic cross stitch featuring a very bitter Luigi kicking a koopa shell at Mario and the princess is from Sprite Stitch. I've been wanting to make a post about Sprite Stitch for quite a while now but couldn't decide which of the amazing cross stitch patterns to post about.
Check out some of the cross stitch patterns over there and you'll see why it was such a difficult decision!
(You'll also find the pattern for this bitter Luigi masterpiece there as well!)

Steampunk Santa

Okay, I can't sit on this until Christmas. Behold, Steampunk Santa in all of his glory! Cyborgnecromancer made this amazing piece.

Artist's Comments:
"Steampunk Santa and his reindirigible. If you're good, he'll give you a lump of coal (to fuel your steam powered robots of course)."

Candy Grabber Claw Machine

You can have a claw machine game in your own home now! How cool is that? You can practice all night long so you can finally get that plushie you've spent $64 trying to win from one of these suckers down at the mall.
