Alright let’s all take a deep breath here and say it…”DC comics are the best comic books out there”. I know, I know, there is also Marvel, but come on now, no one actually thinks that Marvel is better than DC, there is just no competition here! Seriously, what kind of costumes are those? They look ridiculous, the only Marvel hero that deserves the light of day is Deadpool and even he hates the rest of the Marvel heroes. Ok, so with that I am guessing that I have weeded...

Since airing in 1963, Doctor Who has captured the imagination and fascination of multiple generations forever changing the landscape of pop-culture. The TV series won over its viewers with its sometimes quirky persona, a very special blue telephone booth, and one of my personal favorite things about the show - a leading character who is portrayed by different actors every couple of years. This is normally an inconvenience in TV and film but it is actually written into the premise of the show as The Doctor regenerates, giving the show an...

The magical stories of Harry Potter and his friends’ adventures through the wizarding world captured the imagination of an entire generation and launched a “magic” craze throughout the pop culture world. In the early 2000’s there were few kids that weren’t counting down the days until J.K. Rowling’s newest release of one of her books. When the saga ended with the release of the 7th and final book it certainly left a cavity to be filled for many fans. If you feel like you haven’t been whole since turning the...

If we were to go on the street and take a poll asking adults what their favorite movie was, or the most important movie in their life was, there is a good chance that the original Star Wars franchise would roll off the tongues of many. The fact is that when Star Wars: A New Hope came out in 1977 it blew the minds of a majority of the people who saw it. Spaceship fights, lightsabers, attractive alien princesses, and the Force, the Star Wars trilogy had it all and...

It should come as no surprise that the most commonly used tool for coloring books is the almighty colored pencil. Colored pencils provide the most control to the artist. The same exact pencil can color in tiny details when sharpened to a point, or color much bigger spaces quickly when the broad side of the graphite is used. You can also decide how much color you’d like to put down just by the amount of pressure you put on the pencil. Many colored pencils are also kind of erasable. I...

Nowadays there are tons of different options that colorists can choose from when it comes down to their coloring medium of choice. There are pencils, gel pens, special paint and even chalk, but today we decided to focus on a classic and one of our favorites: markers. Markers may not be completely erasable like pencils and may sometimes bleed through which can cause problems in cheaper coloring books that use thin paper, but they do produce a much more professional finished product. Here are our favorite markers with a detailed...

Our pets are not random animals, soon after entering our homes they tend to become a genuine part of the family and we can quickly forget that they are not people. We buy them rain jackets so they do not get wet when the weather is less than perfect, we buy them high quality food so they can live a long and fruitful life, and when they begin to get older we even get them tempurpedic sleeping mats to comfort their aching bodies. This much love deserves some way to...

March has been a tough month weather wise. Some parts of the country were hit with close to record breaking amounts of snow followed by out of the norm heat waves followed once again by more snow. With every passing day however Mother Nature seems to be figuring it out and we are beginning to settle down into a sunny and mild spring. It’s time to open the windows on your daily commute, throw on some sunglasses, and enjoy your favorite jams and a refreshing iced coffee beverage. The smell...

Over the last couple of years coloring for adults has become a worldwide phenomenon and not just because it brings us back to those magical child days, but surprisingly due to its health benefits. The world we live in today is full of stress and constant motion. It is difficult to disconnect yourself from work or whatever else you have going on, all it takes is one notification to pop up on your phone and even if you are relaxing on your front porch you are right back in the...
