Artist Len Peralta (of Monsters by Mail fame) has begun a project called Geek a Week: For 52 weeks he’s going to interview a notable geek and then create a trading card with their likeness and “fun facts” about them.

John Scalzi was the most recent geek, providing the secret to his success (“Exploit Your Laziness”), and his trading card is completely wonderful: Front | Back (in particular I love the tattoo on his arm).

Peralta also has a running list of geeks he’d like to “collect,” and says he’d be grateful to anyone who can help put him in contact with them.
