My friends over at When Geeks Craft and I are on a mission to create the coolest stuff we can, Occasionally, we are able to break the mold and make something truly exception that neither of us could do individually. We embarked on a project to make Pixel Art Lanterns for a Lantern Parade held in Cary, North Carolina every January.

Some project ideas can come when you least expect them and can really hit you like.. well… a Hulk. The notion of making a SnowGlobe filled with Peter Parker particulates was too great to pass up!
