Geek a Week is the name of an art project created by comic artist Len Peralta . Started in March 2010, Peralta s goal was to create illustrations and text for cards from a hypothetical collectible card game , creating one card each week. He sought to meet many geek icons across numerous disciplines, including computing, movies, television, music, and Internet culture, then subsequently creating that person s or group s respective card. Though not his initial goal, Peralta and ThinkGeek published the set of cards in blocks of eight after Peralta completed the initial 52 card set. History The idea of Geek a Week arose while Len Peralta assisted in helping Trace Beaulieu illustrate his book, Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children . Peralta offered his suggestion of the Geek a Week project to Beaulieu. Beaulieu found the idea exciting, and began to help Peralta set up contacts with the various personalities he sought for the project. ref name cnn creation cite web url http www.cnn.com 2010 LIVING 10 14 geek.a.week index.html?hpt Mid title Trading cards profile a geek a week for an entire year first Ann last Hoevel date 2010 10 14 accessdate 2011 02 24 publisher CNN ref Beaulieu uses his own contacts, including fellow Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumni, Kevin Murphy actor Kevin Murphy ... felt the project was a positive medium for the geek culture Savage called the project the kind ... would help other people of the geek culture realize that there are more people like ... and Paul and Storm introduce the Geek a Week set at the 2010 w00tstock event.
