Meet Katie

While at Wondercon, I stumbled upon artist Katie Cook's booth.


Cheese! Katie smiles for the camera.

She had some super cute art (seriously, I don't know how else to describe it) and was selling these little water color paintings for $5 -- kitties, a Ninja Turtle, Star Wars stuff, Harry Potter, Tim Gunn (from Project Runway). My friend ended up taking Tim Gunn home.

Random little water color doodles. Sooo cuuttee!

We chatted with her for a bit and I ended up having her do a little deer for me.

While talking to her, she said that she also designs stationary/scrapbook stuff for Target and will have some things at Michaels as well. She's also been licensed by Heroes, Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings.

For more on Katie, be sure to check out her website and Deviant Art gallery. Also, she'll be sittin' pretty somewhere in the Artists Alley at this year's Comic Con.

Indiana Jones and the Legos of Doom

The colorful plastic world of Lego have released a line inspired by the classic Indiana Jones films. Now you can make your own adventures with Indy in four different sets (ranging in prices from $9.99-$59.99 -- or $114.99 for everything).

I purchased the Motorcycle Chase set because it was in my price range and it comes with not just Indiana Jones and some random German(?) dude, but a tiny Sean Connery as well (ok, Indy's dad, Pro. Henry Jones. Whatever)!

For those who can't wait for the much anticipated flick Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, these little guys should hold you over until May 22.

But remember: Indy hates snakes, Jacque. He hates 'em.
