Awesome Artist Feature - PinkHavok
It's not that often that I'm completely blown away by fanart. Not to say that there aren't dedicated, talented fans out there, quite the opposite! I've seen so MUCH awesomeness that my taste has become refined. I am a connoisseur, sampling art like fine wine - just with less spitting on the ground afterwards.

Epic Pokemon Fusion Art
If you haven't been on the interwebs for a while, you might have missed the "Pokemon Fusion Generator" and resulting trend of posting your randomized (or intentionally spawned) creatures. It's usually a fun way to pass a few minutes (I just got a Nidogong, a mix between a Nidoran and Dewgong!) and see what early pokemon pixel sprites look like when mixed together - but some fanartists have taken it to an entirely new level, using the fused pokemon as art prompts for some glorious creations.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but these hyper-realistic drawings by amazing artist Arturo Quijada might just make words fail. Originally from Albacete, Spain, Quijada's motto is "Life is a Portrait," and it's definitely served him well.

Awesome Pokémon Go Team Leader Fan Art Is Already Pouring In
A wise man told me earlier this morning that the sun never sets on the Poké-Empire and I believed him wholeheartedly. Pokémon Go has proven itself to be a great first step towards augment reality games and has also been the source of some odd events here and there. Despite a few slight mishaps, the hype train for Pokémon Go is still going strong. The proof is in the fact that the team leaders of Pokémon Go were only just revealed to the world during Niantic's panel at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend and the internet is already awash with amazing fan art.

This Awesome Fan Art Turns Dragon Age Into A Gritty Noire
You know what's awesome? Great fan art. You know what's even more awesome? Awesome genre crossover fan art. That's what Tumblr user therealmcgee, who goes by Mer, has brought to the table with the world of Dragon Age re-imagined as a Noire film. The art is oozes cool and is absolutely gorgeous. If I had anything more intelligent to say about Mer's work I would. Instead, let's just take some time to appreciate these amazing pieces of art starting with Cullen looking like he just had a particularly trying day.

Top 10 Pokémon Designs: Gen. II
The first generation of Pokémon is probably the most nostalgic for a lot of people. Back then, things were a bit simpler. Battles were more straight forward, there weren't any crazy methods of catching or evolving wild Pokémon, and more importantly, there were only one hundred and fifty Pokémon to catch overall. But nothing as popular as this franchise was going to stay small forever, and thus, Gen. II was soon born, bringing with it a whole lot of new Pokémon - including a handful of pre-evolutions and evolutions for existing 'mons - and with them, some more awesome designs. As with anything, some people latched onto a handful when it came to the ones they liked most, while others were ridiculed or forgotten.

Carousel's Return to Broadway
The 2018 revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel is, for many theatre fans, a dreamy idea. With a cast of Broadway favorites – Jessie Mueller, Joshua Henry, Betsy Wolfe, and opera legend Renée Fleming – and a stunning score by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the production is sure to be a strong contender for the Best Revival Tony Award (and maybe add a second Tony statue to Jessie Mueller’s personal shelf as well). But the show itself, about an unlikely couple who both lose their jobs as a result of their relationship, relies on some pretty outdated ideas of marriage and loyalty; some might even call it an “ode to domestic violence.”

Top 10 Pokémon Designs: Gen. I
When it comes to Pokémon, there are a lot of things to enjoy. Whether you're a fan of the video games, a fan of the anime and its various movies, a fan of its manga, or you just like the concept and enjoy creating your own Pokémon and adventures, there is so much that this franchise brings to the table in terms of entertainment. It's one of the reasons I believe that Pokémon is so immensely popular, and it holds true for me, since I've been a fan of the franchise for over twenty-plus years. True, it has its flaws - as with any series - but those are usually easy to look past when you're spending hours on end trying to capture that legendary, or when you just got done binge-watching an entire season.
