Compared to most of the people I hang out with, I am an epic nerd, however, compared to many of the people who will get giddy about Nerdities, I am simply a casual geek-culture observer. With that in mind, this is definitely a venue aimed at a particular group, but it certainly shouldn’t make others feel shy about visiting. There is fun to be had for all. I first visited Nerdities at a Unilocal Elite event during the gallery opening but have since visited on my own. I don’t know if Nerdities is truly a different business than Mythical Mountain Comics but they are connected and appear to be just a different arm of the same business. Nerdities in a nut-shell is an «art gallery» of geek-culture inspired art and décor. When I went the first time I expected it to feel a bit more like an art gallery and less like a pop-culture store but definitely doesn’t exactly fit the feel of a traditional art gallery. There are some very cool prints and sculptures to be had and everything is at very reasonable prices but I have to admit that I missed some of the high-end art that I expected. The few artists represented here have some neat stuff but very few items were limited editions or original pieces. If I am going to buy art I tend to prefer something that has a limited run or is an original work. I would have liked to see some well-known artists represented here that do stuff in the nerd world like Greg Guillemin, Olly Moss, Butcher Billy, or Mike Mitchell. There are also a ton of local artists that do some really geeky high-end stuff that could be represented as well. I do love the fact that once you are done on the artsy side you can just head over to Mythical Mountain and get your fill of comic stuff and toys. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Nerds unite! And even if you think you happen to NOT be a nerd, keep reading, because there is bound to be something for you at this amazing, locally made art gallery. No longer only for the stereotypical pen protector type, there are a million things people love and are passionate about. Your favorite movie. Your favorite book. Old school comics, amazing new TV series and shows, video games… you get the picture. So, I happen to be a bit of a TV and book nerd as of late. Give me Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones… and I get a bit giddy. So if you have one of these passions, or have someone in your life that does(ahem, I think that’s probably most of us) this shop will give you one of a kind pieces of art to proudly display your passions. Great gift ideas, that you can’t find anywhere else. If you are struggling for that perfect find, I’d definitely recommend stopping in Nerdities. Take your time, and browse through everything, and then head back in a few weeks, because there is new art being created all of the time. If you are more traditional in your nerdy tastes, then Mythical Mountain is right next door for comics, figurines, and collectables as well. Unique, local and one of a kind. A++!

This place is so cool. They sell a lot of cool custom art, sculpture, collectibles from local people. They also do some of the coolest 3d printing art i have seen. The have a couple 3d printers on site printing away every time I have been there.

These guys are legitimately awesome. Not only are they making great new stuff at a record pace, but it’s really cool and great quality. It’s so nice to have people making true one of a kind stuff from inexpensive magnets, hand made art and 3D printed products, all the way up to life size replicas of Rocket Raccoon. All this, plus they are just super nice dudes. Come by, say hello look at some fun stuff and support local artisans while you’re at it.
