New freelance work (if you guys want to read)
Colette Bennett | 11:35 PM on 01.18.2008 20 comments




I accepted some freelance work at a new blog called Colourlovers, which is not a part of the game industry. I love art and design and wanted to be able to write about those topics as well, so now I have the opportunity to do so. I don't know if any of you will enjoy the site, but if it's your thing check it out and feel free to give me any feedback you might have:

Colette at Colourlovers

Of course I snatched up the opportunity to spread the word about vinyl toys. ^____^

New blog? Do you mean new in that you're new to it, or new in that colourlovers is new? I'm pretty sure colourlovers has been around for a while, but correct me if I'm wrong
Hitogoroshi's Destructoid Blog
TOYS! Congrats Collette :)
Atlas's Destructoid Blog
I used to play with toys in real life back in the 1900's. Nowadays all I need is a controller in my hand.

Sweet. Have fun.
kezins's Destructoid Blog
It always interests me to find out what things game writers are into on the side. Most people would just assume we play games 24-7 and that's it. I actually love art and design myself. I was working as a freelance visual artist for several years, but sort of slacked off for the past year. I guess I was burnt out but I plan to get back into things.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me



Go check out Destructoid's collectible toy culture blog, which I proudly run:



Here is a list of things you should know about me:
1. I'm a female game blogger living in Miami.
2. The NES is my favorite system of all time, closely followed by the PS2.
3. My DS is more or less glued to my person.
4. I can't resist playing Contra. Ever.
5. I think toys are the best solution to not wanting to grow up, and I have an always-growing collection of them, which is why I started Tomopop.
6. I require sushi for living.
7. I'm hopelessly addicted to Japanese dramas.
8. I love wandering around used bookstores for hours.
9. I think about throwing rocks at people a lot.
10. I replay The Legend of Zelda about 5 times a year.

Kon-kon!


This Pedro guy is pretty good.


And these RetroforceGo! people aren't so bad.


Actually, the people I work with are pretty freaking awesome in general.


Sometimes I put on costumes, too.
