Super Style: Sound Effect & Speech Balloon Accessories [link]
As what’s been called “geek culture” continues to flourish within mainstream culture, the stigma once associated with being a “nerd” is quickly being replaced with an eagerness to proudly express one’s inner geek on her sleeve — for our purposes, literally! In the world of fashion, high end designers have been pulling inspiration from superheroes and other fantastical fictional characters, not to mention the countless t-shirts, dresses and accessories designed and produced daily about the icons of comics, sci-fi, video games, and more. On a smaller scale, the vitality of crafting communities (such as Etsy, Craftster, and Cut Out + Keep) has provided fans and artisans alike to share and sell their creatively nerdy wares.
