Cartoon Mash-up: Do You Recognize These Guys?

John Riggs — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:10:30 +0000

Have a look at this picture. They look like someone you’re probably familiar with, but also remind you of someone else. Any guesses? I thought this was a pretty creative shirt from this website. It’s a little Cheech & Chong, a little Calvin & Hobbes. How cool! I may have to buy one of these [...]

Old School Box Art for Today's Top Video Games

Patrick Bateman — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 00:15:35 +0000

It’s amazing to look back at how video game publishers marketed their releases before graphics advanced to the point of some respectability. Many would hire illustrators to draw a reasonable facsimile of the main characters while others would use photos of actual people that sort of resemble. Though those tactics seem absurd now, they still [...]

We’ve all had those friends in high school who would make pipes out of just about everything. Gas masks, Mrs. Butterworth containers, apples. Then there’s the pop can. This guy decided to take it to the extreme and make a pipe out of a baby Jesus figure. What do you think? Tell us in the [...]

Sorry for the nightmares we may have caused. Now if only he’d make a life-like Daria – that would be cool. huh, huh, [...]

The Most Expensive Photo In the World is Incredibly Disappointing [PICTURE]

Jo Pincushion — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:00:03 +0000

Photographer Andreas Gursky is a German visual artist who is known for his perplexing landscapes and digital imagery. Gursky snapped the piece of modern art above back in 1999. It’s one step above those accidental snapshots done by a 4-year-old who has stolen his mother’s iPhone. Here is where it gets nutty –this mediocre pic [...]

Much is made of artists’ muses: Pablo Picasso had Marie-Thérèse Walter, Pedro Almodóvar has Penelope Cruz and Nicola Freeman has…candy necklaces and lollipops. The British art student sculpted humongous approximations of those and other sweets for an exhibition currently showing at the University of Wolverhampton. In an interview with Craft magazine, she reveals her materials (sadly inedible: [...]
