World of WarCrafts<\/a> spotlights <\/em>art and creativity by <\/em>WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music, fan fiction and more.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been reading an anthropological analysis of the World of Warcraft<\/em> for an upcoming 15 Minutes of Fame<\/a> that talks about the game as an “active aesthetic experience,” a collective expression in which the participation of all is key to the entire experience. One of the things I’m most looking forward to talking about with the author is the incredible creative energy that WoW<\/em> breathes into so many talented artists, writers, crafters and musicians. From WoW<\/em>-themed arts and crafts that tickle our fancies to re-imaginings of the very artistic underpinnings of the game soundtrack and art itself, the World of Warcraft<\/em> has inspired so many people across the world.<\/p>\n

While obviously we could invite you to scroll through our backlog of World of WarCrafts columns (and indeed, if you’re interested in any sort of creative effort, we think you should), we decided to make things simple. We’d like to invite you to our new resource guide, Arts and crafts in WoW<\/em><\/a>. From how-to instructions for arts and crafts, to recipe “strats” bringing you the flavors of Azeroth, to soundtracks and artwork and fan fic and more, we’ve gathered the best of our galleries and in-depth features together in one place. We hope you find it as enjoyable and inspirational as we do … Welcome to the sights and sounds of the community of World of Warcraft<\/em>!<\/p>\n
