My husband and I are currently having a Doctor Who marathon. We’re just barely on the 11th Doctor. Amelia Pond just decided to travel with The Doctor. And something about.. Daleks pretending to be British? And.. oh god, oh god, oh god, MORE WEEPING ANGELS?!?! What the frak?!
Anyway.
Now I know I’ve gone on record as saying that I’m not a Doctor Who fan, but after watching episodes, ya know, actually in order.. okay, dammit I am.. kind of.. sort of.. a Doctor Who fan now. *mumble mumble* SHUT UP. None of this “I told you so” crap. I get enough of that from Jonathan, sheesh!
Why the sudden confession of conversion to the Whovian dark side? Weeeeell, I’m glad you asked!
I have the great privilege of partnering with Usagianddarien in launching a Doctor Who Tardis Tote Bag giveaway! I know the majority of my blog posts have been heavy on the “domestic” side, and somewhat lacking on the “geek” factor recently, so consider this giveaway a formal apology. ^_^
More On Usagianddarien
Usagianddarien is essentially a purveyor of original geeky themed artwork – ranging from Doctor Who to Hunger Games to Adventure Time – all on functional canvases, such as Converse sneakers, high heels and flats (though art on plain ol’ paper is available as well).
A sample of Usagianddarien’s Converse sneaker Doctor Who art.
Usagianddarien’s Etsy shop is run by artist Tonya McCullough, who is a fellow cosplayer and domestic geek! She is a mother of four beautiful children, one of which is autistic. She makes her art from her home on a workbench that her husband handmade her. I asked Tonya to send me some photos of her work space, because spouse made workshops just reek of nerd romance and I eat them up like candy. Check it out:
Anyhoo, Tonya’s drawing hobby also serves to help with expenses for her family and helps her cover expenditures while getting through Graduate School. Tonya will be student teaching this semester, so her geeky chic art is currently her sole source of side income. She takes special orders, so if you’re looking for a great gift for a special someone (Valentines Day is coming up! *wink wink nudge nudge*), go check out her shop! And let her know I sent you!
Now on to the giveaway!
Tonya is offering to one lucky winner, one of her original hand painted Doctor Who Tardis Tote Bags. The bag is made of sturdy, nonwoven polyester and measures 14 1/2″ X 16 1/2″ with 12″ handles. (It’s roughly the size of a reuseable grocery bag, without the flat bottom.)
Each bag from Tonya’s Etsy shop is individually hand painted with acrylic paint and sealed with acrylic paint sealer. Since every art piece from Usagianddarien is individually hand painted by Tonya, no two are ever the same!
The Christmas episode form 2013 when Matt smith takes off his hair.
?!?!?!??!
Yeah, that even has me curious! 😉
Dr. Who is awesome.. free swag is awesome.. free Dr. Who swag.. I dont know if there is a word for that yet.. 🙂
I was just saying I need a tote bag now that I am in my old age
About time Gingi! Welcome to the land of Whovians!
I love all the Rose and Amy Pond episodes. They are my favorite companions! Clara and I don’t mesh well yet. Sure, she bakes and all, but I just am meh about her.
I like that Rose got her own little Doctor clone. Soooo, does that mean the Doctor had the hots for Rose, or what???
I just finished watching the episode where Amelia totally jumps the Doctor.. I was pretty much shouting “WHORE!!!” at the TV screen at like midnight last night, haha!
I love Dr. Who! 10 was my fave Dr.
These bags are so cute! I would love to rock my nerd style with them.
Absolutely agree that the 10th Doctor was the best! I may be biased though. (totally have a man-crush)
I LOVE Dr.Who. I’ll miss Matt, like I missed David, and the many before and I’m excited for this new incarnation. It’s gonna be awesome.
Did you watch any of David Tennant’s seasons! ? What did you think of him!??
I have only seen a few eps of Doctor Who, and since there are so many other things I watch, I just don’t know how’d I squeeze in another fandom. Too bad I didn’t look into it back when there was nothing worth watching on tv. Funny thing, on Red Eye tonight, they were making comments on the Planet Hillary magazine cover and they referenced one of the eps I did see (about a future alien who was just skin?). Funny!
ROFL thats too funny! MOISTURIZE ME! MOISTURIZE ME!!!
Oh my goodness there are soooooo many! Blink is one of my favorite episodes – One of my favorite lines from Captain Jack – “They called me the ‘Face of Bo” – because it explained so much about the future of that character. Dr #10 is my favorite – however #11 had some really awesome episodes.
Yeah, that was pretty funny.. like, lightbulb going off moment… I hear Jack gets his own spin off series in Torchwood?!
This is great love Dr who
I didn’t follow instructions lol. I have a few fav episodes. Doomsday I cried like a baby at the end. The weaping angels one was excellent. Then there was the adapose babies made of human fat. They were adorable lol
“Bow ties are cool.”
Those shoes are awesome!
“900 years of time and space, and I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important.”
I just love that quote, especially if I’m feeling low.
The episode withheld Adipose guys! Weird that they’re actually adorable. Really any episode with David Tennet!
LOL, while watching that episode I was like, “Is it weird that I think those guys are.. I dunno… cute?” lol
I love all of your artwork 🙂
thank you Jesus G 🙂
I don’t watch Dr Who. My DIL is a huge fan and would love this bag!
These are so awesome 😀
Again, totally lame and didn’t realize it was about the favorite episode. I think my favorite is the empty child, we first get to meet Captain Jack Harkness, and the whole thing is amusing and terrifying at the same time. It was also funny to see 10 reference it later on.
Great artwork… throw in some Weeping Angels or maybe the Vashta Nerada, too! WOO!
i love love dr. who all-around, but i think my favorite moment was learning about river song & her connection to the doc! 🙂 thanks for the great giveaway!
The Christmas Episode.
Hmmmm I am a fan of the ponds. They make me happy.
I have two favorite, the first of the weeping Angels and the Vincent van Gogh episode, I love many episodes but this are my favorite
the rose and amy pond episodes thank you for a great giveaway
My favorite Doctor Who quote is “Are you my Mummy?”
Favorite episode would be Blink the concept was really cool, and lots of fun quotes!!!^_^
Silence in the Library… 0_-
I don’t have a favorite episode per se but my favorite Doctor was Tom Baker!!!
I am totally new to all of this, but from what I have seen so far, I would have to say the Weeping Angels are my favorite…and yet, not my favorite. I’m not sure that sentence makes much sense, but I’m pretty sure you know what I am saying. 🙂
Doctor Who!!! My favorite moment in Doctor Who is probably the episode with number nine and “are you my mummy” When the Doctor says “Everybody lives, for once, everybody lives” It had such a happy ending. Your art work is wonderful, wish converse fit my feet, but alas…my foot is waaayyyy to narrow! Please check out our Etsy shop: Timetravelingties. Good luck with your student teaching and grad work..been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Then stayed home with my four children! Allons-Y
Doomsday is my favorite episode of all time
Fav moment: from the Christmas special, when Matt Smith and David Tenant have the same glasses.
Love Doctor Who! And Im loving those shoes!
The weeping angels have always freaked me out. But I guess my favorite episode that’s sad is when the doctor burns up a planet to say goodbye to rose, and she doesn’t even get to hear that he loves her.
I personally LOVE the doctor and his wife.
I’m too indecisive to chose any one part, scene or moment.
