Happy Friday! I had to jump in with another Fandom Friday post since this week's topic is all about the Funko Pop! figurines! I'm not much of a collector, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't consider buying one (dozen or so) of these every time I went to a con.

WIP: January 2015
I'm bringing back the WIP posts this year! I tapered off towards the end of last year since I didn't have as many projects to share.

Life According to Instagram: December
Happy Friday! I decided to start up another new series this year. Something I noticed last year was that I tend to censor myself a lot. Anything too personal (or with too much of my very odd sense of humor) gets cut.
