Blaster Build-Off Art of Geek Challenge | May 2018

- June 09, 2018

May's Theme: Blaster Build-Off May's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Blaster Build-Off in honor of the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Participants had the entire month of May to create something inspired by the blasters from the Star Wars universe. Check out the hashtag #aogblaster to view all the Instagram posts for May's challenge. First Place: Greedo and Han's blasters frozen in carbonite by @beardedcrabworkshop . Art of Geek Challenge Official Entry for May: Star Wars Blasters. What you see here is Greedo and Han Solo’s blasters frozen in Carbonite. They are designed to be the size of the original props.

Marvel's The Avengers Art of Geek Challenge | April 2018

- June 08, 2018

April's Theme: Marvel's Avengers April's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Marvel's The Avengers. Participants had the entire month of April to create something inspired by the Marvel Avengers universe. Check out the hashtag #aogavengers to view all the Instagram posts for April's challenge. First Place: Baby Groot carving by @beardedcrabworkshop . Groot is complete! For my second carving (sculpture?) ever, I think it’s a decent representation of the subject. The last picture shows a side by side of the movie still and what I ended up with. I think I’m taking some time off from the pop art stuff and going back to some practical craft items for a little while, but don’t worry, my brain won’t be satisfied with cutting boards for very long! #wood #woodworking #groot #iamgroot #babygroot #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #maker #geek #geekculture #geekart #sculpture #aogavengers #artofgeekchallenge #marvel #marvelcomics #avengersinfinitywar #a...
