The Charlotte Geeks

Welcome to our Geekery Market Spotlight that shines today on a new artisan, Epic Meltdown Candles. These beautiful and geeky candles are created by Alex Runde. Their mission: to craft more than just candles. They create immersive experiences. Inspired by gaming and retro fun, their hand-poured candles transport you to mystical landscapes with carefully curated scents and captivating designs.

Welcome to another Geekery Market spotlight! Today's spotlight is on authors and artisans, Shenanigator Books. Shenanigator Books is a cooperative publishing venture, built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and professionalism. They are a group of friends, who also happen to be authors, publishers, editors, and artists: S.H. Roddey, Misty Massey, Crymsyn Hart, Nicole Givens Kurtz, and Alexandra Christian.

Our spotlight today shines on a new Geekery Market artisan, Tolarian Creations, headed up by Matthew Houghland! Matthew grew up playing video games, board games, and eventually TTRPGs while watching anime and classic Sci-Fi movies and shows. In college in the early 2000s, he discovered that for all of his interests there was little to no way to rep them. As an art major he took things into his own hands and started trying various things before discovering glass etching. His vetting process for designs remains the same as day one: if he shows it to his spouse and they take it, either for themselves or a friend, then it's a success.
