Fandom Celebrated
Quite often artists will post art that celebrates a fandom they are particularly fond of or inspired by and the same is true for NikRaccoon who is so excited about the upcoming Zootopia movie he's been creating artwork based on it. So imagine how amazing it was when NikRaccoon found out that the director of Zootopia shared his fan art on Twitter? Achievement unlocked!
Get to Know a Deviant
If you haven't stumbled across the work of patrickballesteros, you are missing out! All of his work is fantastic and we are particularly fond of his 25 Cent Wonders series. Which is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.
Furiosa the Jedi

Xena Breaks Our Hearts
Yesterday a rumor starting surfacing that NBC would be reviving fan-favorite Xena: Warrior Princess and as we all rejoiced and conspired about what the new show would entail, Lucy Lawless took to Twitter and broke our hearts by saying it wasn't happening. Personally, we're keeping the dream alive because as Xena would say "fighting gives our lives meaning".
Perfecting Polymer Cookies
Talty has been posting tutorials on polymer clay and this latest shows us how to create the perfect sandwich cookie. These would be great for jewelry or dollhouses but even though they look delicious, please don't eat them

Kumail Nanjiani Joins the X-Files
You may know X-Files superfan Kumail Nanjiani from his X-Files podcast, The X-Files Files, or you may know him from his role in the hit HBO series, Silicone Valley, but, according to the Hollywood Reporter, you will soon know him for his role on the new X-Files series! He will appear in three episodes, and his Tweet about this role is heartwarming and serves as a reminder that nerdy dreams really can come true.
All the Dinosaur Feels
The newest trailer for Pixar's The Good Dinosaur is here and you need to be prepared to feel all the feels. Who doesn't want a dinosaur as a best friend? Anything is possible in a world where the asteroid never hit Earth and dinosaurs never became extinct.
Getting Ready For 2016
Time is certainly flying and we're more than halfway through 2015! If you like to be prepared and you love dragons, now is the time to score yourself the 2016 Zodiac Dragon Calendar by The-SixthLeafClover. Each image is absolutely magnificent and if you pre-order the Stardust Edition, you get a signed print of the zodiac dragon of your choice AND a very awesome looking collectors coin.
Tree of 40 Fruit
How is it possible for one tree to grow 40 different kinds of fruit? Sam Van Aken, an artist and professor at Syracuse University, used "chip grafting" to create trees that each bear 40 different varieties of stone fruits. He states that this is a living piece of art and after watching the video, we have to agree. Also, science you are so cool.
New Graphic Novel
Dörfler is a new graphic novel by madbaumer37 which is set in a dystopian future, alternating between current time and flashbacks. It is as much about space and time as it is about the characters who inhabit the two landscapes. You can read an 8-page excerpt or order the graphic novel here and you can view some of Jeremy's amazing work in his gallery.
