Lady Lindsay's Super Amigurumi

So one day my buddy Jon Gordon's wife sent me a pic of a Wolverine she crocheted... Here I stood staring at my this image on my phone at this cute Wolverine with Pipe Cleaner claws.

I found this little figure very endearing...

Since then she's created many more Heros and Villains and has her own shop which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5358237

Be sure to click on over to check out her site. Each of the amigurumi are really well done and come highly recomended as gifts.

I've taken the liberty of posting some pic's from Lady Linsay's storefront... I really like the Daredevil and Bullseye... What can I say I have a little softspot for this hero-villain feud...

E.G.G. Pinup

I guess with a title like that you might need a little more of an explanation.

E.G.G., or Ed G. Gunn, is character created by Rob Forest. He's a Hard Boiled detective that services Stark City as a private investigator.

Rob is putting out a new issue of EGG titled "The Trouble with Dames" with this new publication he asked if anyone would like to do Pinups for the book and to make a long story short here's what I did...

Check out Rob's E.G.G. blog here http://eggnoir.blogspot.com he's got a lot of great stuff on there including his unique style and his noir-ish homages. You should also find another pinup by fellow LADDie Jon Gordon.
