GEEKSOAP.net

This is a great idea and a cool gift for this holiday season. Hopefully no one takes the idea of getting geeky soap as a hint that they smell. These soaps are geeky and bring back the nostalgia for many people. These ninja turtle, batman, or sega genesis game soaps are scented and unscented. There are a variety to choose from and they start from $2.25 and go no higher than $8.99. These are vegan friendly in case you were wondering. So whether you want to rinse yourself with the past and remind yourself that there's a little geekiness to you or buy one for someone head to http://www.geeksoap.net/

Video: Shop Vac Kinetic Typography

This is by far one of the most well done kinetic typography animations I've seen. The song isn't that great, so you have to deal with it, but you'll appreciate the motion graphics that is done.

MMA Fighter Splatter Design

This design was created for Branded Baron over a year ago, but never used for anything. This design had the fighter in various different colors, but I chose the complimentary colors of red and green since it's the first of December and Christmas is right around the corner. I enjoyed messing with the texture and creating an edgy mma design. Who knows if this will ever be used, but I wanted to showcase this.

Love Love By Julien Berthier

This ship isn't sinking. It's "Love, Love" by Julien Berthier, a boat that's been modified to appear as though it's capsizing. The ship was originally a 6.5 meter yacht that was sliced in half and outfitted with a new keel which keeps it upright at all times. Apparently it's actually seaworthy, and he has toured it around Europe. Watch the video of it in action after more. Berthier writes:
"Love-love is the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object. "

BOTTLE OPENER RINGS

I found this from my fellow artist friend Iquan of the Artoholiks/Mix206. This is such a cool find. $8 for 2 bottle opener rings. I don't wear rings, but this seems practical even if I did.

Check out the resources at Media Militia

I know I've posted their free splatter, but definitely check out all the freebies that they have to offer. It's great that they have high quality stuff for designers to check out. They have various textures, brushes, Photoshop actions, vectors, 3d renders, etc. I recommend looking at it, because it may be worth it when looking for that something extra in a design.
