Moleskine Monday: Dealthy Hallows painted cahier

by Bionic Beauty on June 14, 2011 · 1 comment

I just finished this one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Moleskine pocket cahier featuring The Deathly Hallows symbol from the Harry Potter book and movie series.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Moleskine journal

My hand-painted HP Deathly Hallows themed Molie!

The notebook features the Deathly Hallows symbol painted in deep navy blue with a shimmer top coat that changes from teal to turquoise to denim blue to emerald green to purple in various lighting. A truly magical effect!

I made one for myself, one for a close friend and a third journal to sell on Etsy. It’s currently up for $10.

On a related note… many theaters opened their pre-ticket sales to the final Harry Potter movie this weekend. Deathly Hallows Part Two opens at 12:01am on July 15 and I just got my tickets!! I’ll be going in costume, of course. Anyone else planning to attend the movie on opening night?

Deck out your phone for Super 8!

by Bionic Beauty on June 7, 2011 · 0 comments

I’m a huge JJ Abrams fangirl.  And I am not exaggerating in the slightest.

For those of you who don’t know, JJ is the director/producer genius behind TV shows and movies such as:  Alias, Felicity, Mission Impossible 3, the newest Star Trek, Fringe, Lost, Fast Forward and Cloverfield.

I basically swoon over all his works.  And he makes them appeal to me even more with their “online prescences”, “alternate reality”, and viral pre-launch marketing. 

In honor of the new movie Super 8 opening on June 9th at midnight, I decked out my Android phone in all manners of Jbrams goodness.  In case you’d like some of the fun stuff, I am including my new wallpapers and ringtones below.

Slusho Theme Song ringtone – Right click and Save As onto your computer or mobile/cellular device.

Wallpapers – Click the images below for full size versions and save them onto your phone or sdcard.  All my wallpapers here are sized at 900 pixels by 860 pixels, which works for most Android phones.  These are also optimized for HDPI devices (aka “high def”) but should work fine on MDPI and lower resolution screens.

Here’s screencap of my Android’s Slusho layout!

Is anyone else planning to see Super 8 this weekend or at the midnight showing?

Sketchin it up on the iPad

iPad sketch by Bionic Beauty at the Bionic Style blog

Recently my friend bought an iPad. Being the gadget fiend I am, I pilfered some time with it. It’s an impressive device! And if I was rich, or had some (meaning “any”) cash flow, one would certainly be added to my Amazon Wish List asap. In the meantime, I am happy to borrow and play [...]

An open letter – The evolution of the #NewTwitter

Custom professional Twitter background design by Bionic Beauty

Dear Twitter.com, Hmmm… I don’t like the #NewTwitter layout. It takes up WAY too much screen real estate. I really think people/companies/brands enjoy Twitter because it’s simple. Quite the opposite of Facebook where they are constantly changing things to confuse people. The proof is shown by the uproar in the Twitter-verse whenever Facebook decides to [...]

My Weekly Playlist – Music to drive by

Since it’s Labor Day weekend and many people will be spending hours behind the wheel of the family truckster… I figured this would be the perfect time to share my favorite “Driving Music”. Driving music for me usually fits into one of two areas — you can either sing along with it (even if you [...]

My Weekly Playlist – Music to work by

This week was mostly about me getting my to-do list down to a manageable level. My email in-boxes were out of control for months, and I really wanted to get started writing here on Bionic Style occasionally. Not to mention Bionic Beauty needed some navigation upgrades… basically I’m finally catching up after my-year-from-hell, also known [...]

Site News: Color scheme and upcoming content

Proposed color scheme for the new Bionic Style website

Let’s face it… I’m a perfectionist when it comes to designing my own graphics for my blogs, laying them out, and getting the header images, fonts, and color scheme just exactly right. Because I know this about myself (and now you do too), I’m going to start publishing articles here on Bionic Style before the [...]
