Geeky Woodcut Prints: Protocomics
Etsy seller Brian Reedy makes woodcut prints with geeky subjects, including Star Wars, Adventure Time as well as Marvel and DC characters. His work is not as detailed as Jed Henry and David Bull’s Ukiyo-e Heroes, but they still cast familiar characters in a new, er, old light.
Most of Brian’s prints are monochrome, but as you can see he occasionally uses gold leaf and red ink as well. All of his prints are done on rice paper.
Carve a browser block and order Brian’s prints on his Etsy shop Woodcut Emporium. They cost $30 to $50 (USD) each.

Ultra Seven’s Hashed Beef: Ultraman Has a Beef with This
I think we’ve already established that Japan has an affinity for the unusual. One of the weirder items I’ve seen in a while has to be this processed beef product made up to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the popular Ultra Seven franchise.
This delicious looking meal includes some boil-in-bag “hashed beef”, packaged up in a special Ultra Seven box. It also includes a pair of Ultra Seven wrap-around “Ultra Eye” goggles, because all packaged meat and rice products should do that.
Apparently the dishes have been made by a restaurant run by Kohji Moritsugu, who was one of the stars of the original Ultra Seven series. Like that helps make any more sense out of this stuff.
A four-pack of this delicious dish will set you back ¥6,300 (~$65 USD). Now those are some expensive TV dinners.
