mixed habitat & densely vegetated hiding places

This one is Share Fannish Collections. I'm not much of a collector, but I'll give it a go.



The shirts are from the Venture Bros. Shirt Club, which is a thing that happens for those glorious few weeks every couple of years when new episodes are actually airing. All the shirts are designed by the two show creators personally, and are only available for a week after the episode they're referencing, though fans who are unable to cope with having missed out have been known to recreate unofficial versions. These ones are the real deal. It's always my hope that I'll hear a "Go Team Venture!" when I'm wearing one (or at least a "Spanakopita!") but it never happens. (Once a guy leaned out of his car window and yelled "WHAT DOES SHALLOW GRAVY MEAN??" to which I replied "IT'S A BAND" because "It's a pretend band from a TV show nobody has heard of and I sincerely hope you google it sometime when your vehicle is safely parked!!!" would have taken too long.)

The books are World of Warcraft: The Official Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson. I have more books related to these fandoms (and others), but these are special because they were gifts from fellow fans. The cookbook was sent to us by someone we play the game with, and the DS9 book was sent to me a long time ago by delphi. ♥♥♥



This is the original of Rat, one of my favorite pieces of HP fanart by akatnamedeaster, which she very generously gifted to walgesang when they met at a con. I love the stark simplicity, and the fact that it's not so obvious that it's fan art, but when you know that it is, you see exactly what it means. It doesn't photograph so well behind the glass, so here's a nice scan: "In his dreams, he always catches him in the end."



scarah2 drew this for me when we met at Lumos 2006. :D She was taking 'crack art' prompts, so I suggested Slughorn/Lockhart. I think the original is buried somewhere with my own art stuff, so I only have this wonky scan, but I love it.



And finally, I took this pic earlier for the canon recs post, but it was only in the comments section so here it is again! These guys are Phil and The Bear from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. They came with accessories, but I can only find the bust of Phil (not pictured). Not sure what happened to the Ming vase and the gold-plated toilet. (Plundered! Burgled! Purloined! Ha ha ha. Loin.)
