Doodling is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

In just a week, Wobble Works -- the toy company brain child of Peter Dilworth, an MIT Leg Laboratory and Media Lab grad, and Maxwell Bogue, a graduate of Purdue University's Computer Science Program -- raised almost $2 million to fund their latest project, the 3Doodler.

Categories: Buy It, Gift Guides 2012

Still holiday shopping? So are we -- and we've been taking notes. Introducing our series of gift guides for your "easy to figure out, but hard to shop for" friends. Today, Jackalope Ranch's Gift Guide for the End of the World Prepper.

Scottsdale based Gear Up has recently opened a retail location to act as a showroom for their previously online only operations.

While we're not convinced that the world is going to come to a Mayan flavored ending in December, it still might not be a bad idea to stock up for other civilizations crumbling eventualities.

On Monday night, during Roosevelt Row's annual fundraiser to benefit arts programming in downtown Phoenix, you'll have 26 chances to snatch up a letter block created by a local artist.

From A to Z, the letters are constant in size, but vary in style. Roosevelt Row's Cindy Dach says each will be up for individual bid of $100, but if someone bids at least $2600 for all 26 letters, they take the set home.

Steam Crow
Pardon the squeals you may have just heard coming from the New Times office in downtown Phoenix. We just spotted what Phoenix designers Daniel and Dawna Davis (aka Steam Crow) have been working on for Phoenix Comicon.

Daniel says the Steam Crow team creates a limited-edition print for each of the comic shows and convention they attend. And this year, after they decided to cancel their first, superhero-themed print for Comicon, they returned to their favorite subject: Monsters.

Oh yeah, Valentine's Day is just a month away, ​and you have it all in the bag -- except that you haven't actually thought about Valentine's Day because it comes so quickly after all those other holidays, and now you have to find something cute for someone cute. 

No need to fret. We have just the (local) solutions. Here are five Valentine's Day gifts made by Phoenix artists. 

1. "All You Need is Love" Men's Tee by Karina Manarin -- $22
This hand screen-printed tee by Tempe artist Karina Miller is just enough to spell it out  -- without having to get all gushy. Miller writes on her etsy page that she highlighted certain keys on each typewriter with red dye to spell her favorite lyric from The Beatles. Grab one here.

​Phoenix graphic designer Lindsay Tingstrom isn't just making a list of New Year's resolutions this year -- she's hanging them on her walls.

Tingstrom, formerly one-third of SeeSaw Designs, launched her new letterpress project Acorn & Whale earlier this month with a series of minimalist prints inspired by New Year's resolutions.

Tingstrom's resolutions stray from the typical "Learn to Knit" and "Go to the Gym," and instead explore broader self-improvement tactics. She says "Live Every Day" was the first print she  designed as a reminder to herself to take life as it came.
