Celara: A Year in The Life of a Geek Girl

by Karen Hallion

Celara is a name that was born out of my love of a series of books by author David Eddings. I took two of my favorite characters from those books and made a new name from them. Polgara and Ce’Nedra were combined to make Celara and it has been my online alter ego ever since. Her little companion’s name is “Reverie”,

I want every little girl who has been bullied for wearing a geeky shirt or told they couldn’t like something because it’s “for boys” to know that they’re not alone. And I want to celebrate what being a geek really is. Explore why we create fan art, participate in cosplay, and engage in dialogue discussing the minute details of the characters and stories we love. Celara is my homage to how we all connect with each other through these things.

Last Fall we successfully Kickstarted a calendar featuring the Celara illustrations in this book. This Spring, I am hoping to Kickstart a children’s book featuring Celara as a young girl. I hope you will follow along to learn more about her and her geeky adventures. :)

Another gorgeous little piece by Karen Hallion. I madly love collecting every calendar and little book that has her artistic avatar & a delightful smash of every fandom we've all loved throughout the pages.
