Design of the Week: The Door of Time duo

Even the Doctor knows that it's dangerous to go alone!

We now have a colorful 11" x 17" ready-to-frame poster to accompany our Doctor Who/Zelda parody shirt, which features the Song of Time summoning the TARDIS from the heart of London.

Clothe your inner geek!

Interview: Skahfee Studios

For a while now, I've been looking for something to hang above the Tolkien-centric bookcase in my living room, next to my museum-edition Sting (okay, okay, I'll stop preening now). Imagine the excited symphonies that sounded in my head when I happened across Scott Smith of Skahfee Studios' booth at Indiana Comic Con in March and found this perfect illustration of Smaug above The Lonely Mountain, made completely out of quotes from The Hobbit. Pretty sure my money grew wings of its own and flew out of my wallet at mach speeds.

I'm not sure if I even waited to hang it up before I sent Scott a message, asking for an interview. Scott is a pop artist who molds his typography to create stunning visuals from fandoms near and dear to the geeky heart. Currently, he travels to conventions around the country, sharing his art full-time with the world. Read on below the cut to learn how he tackles each piece and why he made the scary jump from "cubicle slave" to full-time artist.

The Doctor comes to Disney

Next month, kids and fans of Disney XD will have the chance to rewatch David Tennant's much-loved stint as the 10th Doctor as series 2-4 air on the family-friendly channel. According to deadline.com, Pay TV subscribers and users of the Disney XD app will even have the option of streaming the episodes on their mobile devices.

Matt Forde, BBC Worldwide North America EVP, says that in partnering with Disney XD, BBC is hoping to introduce Doctor Who to a new generation of viewers. Considering we're starting to see Doctor Who merchandise pervading even retailers like Wal-Mart and Target, it's had to imagine anyone not knowing about Doctor Who anymore...but for the few that are new to the fandom, we agree series 2 is a great place to start.

I kind of want to rewatch it now.

Design of the Week: Here Be Dragons and Where Do You Want to Start?

This week we're featuring two new designs that celebrate two of our favorite BBC shows: Doctor Who and Sherlock!

"So... all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will - where do you want to start?"

The Girl Who Waited has a special place in our heart. We might never recover from her adventures with her Raggedy Man. So here's our tribute to one of our favorite companions, Amy Pond, on her first of many journeys with the Doctor. Find it here!

"A dragon slayer. Is that what you think of me?"

For fans and grudging admirers of the indefatigable "dragon slayer" Sherlock Holmes - or even just 221b Baker Street - this super soft 100% cotton shirt is for you. (As to whether or not this is at all in reference to a certain dragon named Smaug voiced by a certain British actor...we'll leave up to you.)

Matt Smith Says 'Thank You' at SDCC

At the last Comic-Con panel for Matt Smith as the Doctor said, 'Thank you for your support' to the fans at the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. Comedian Craig Ferguson, longtime Whovian, as the mediator of today's panel. Steven Moffat confirmed today that David Tennant and Matt Smith would be appearing in scenes together during the 50th Anniversary Episode.

The 50th Anniversary Episode will be the last episode of Matt Smith as the Doctor. Rumors are still floating around as who will become the 12th Doctor, but no official hints have been dropped by Moffat or anyone at BBC. We're sure they will keep the identity of the next Doctor under lock and key.
