Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of snail mail and I love any excuse to send cards — especially when they’re cards that make me smile like these from illustrator, PJ McQuade. I stumbled across his Esty shop, Castle McQuade several years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Each year McQuade adds to his series of geeky Valentine’s cards featuring some of our favorite pop culture characters — each expressing themselves as only they can. The results are sure to put a smile on the face of anyone on the receiving end. It’s hard to get romantic than a Xenomorph bearing flowers. Am I right?!?

McQuade’s cards feature characters from a variety of popular movies and television shows. If you’re looking for something unique for the pop culture valentine in your life head over to McQuade’s site or visit his CastleMcQuade Esty store. Keep going for a closer look at some of the geeky goodness you’ll find on sale now.
