The three heads of the dragon?  Conspiracy theorist are talking as the series comes to a close.  Personally, all I want if for these three to be friends, seeing as they're the last three characters I'm rooting for.

"So my friend received this custom made cake on her Birthday..."

For a second, I thought this was a statue, the fondant is so skillfully airbrushed. Someone further down the Reddit thread texted the bakery responsible for the cake, and it turns out that it only cost the equivalent of US$54, which makes me think that, if I moved to Bulgaria, I would be much, much fatter.

...on the other hand, if I had bought this cake, I'm not sure I'd have the heart to cut into it.

I love the stone texturing on this cake.

The Christmas trees are already up for sale at Michael's.  Meantime, I'm counting down the days to Halloween.

I found this browsing through the Game of Thrones Subreddit, enjoying all the memes last weekend's episode spawned. I initially couldn't believe it was hand drawn, but after seeing the rest of Reiner's DeviantArt gallery, I realized that he's just an incredibly gifted artist. As I write this, Reddit is begging him to offer this as a poster print.

Redditors are evenly split between those telling him that it would be totally legal to sell prints without permission and those offering schemes to get Reiner's art in front of George R.R. Martin so that he can give it his personal stamp of approval.  Personally, I don't care how it happens, I just want one of these on my wall.

Click through to the Reddit thread to give this guy a much-deserved upvote.  Then, check out his interview in the first part of Artcore's new interview series, Draw Four.
