At last you can own your very own monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. And you don’t even need astronauts to dig it up on the moon. It is the perfect nerd desk toy. Especially if you happen to have a few small monkeys to place in front of it. It’s pretty expensive at $700. but hey, it’s not everyday that humanity discovers one of these.
IKON is an upcoming solo art show by urban art and graffiti illustrator Nychos of Rabbit Eye Movement at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City. It will feature some of his new dissection artwork where pop culture characters like Darth Vader, Batman, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and more get sliced up so we can see what is inside.
It’s not for everyone, but I find it fascinating how he finds various different ways to dissect these fictional characters. It’s weird for sure, but interesting. Check out just a few below and you can find more at his website.

I love the fact that in this day and age, you can decorate your home pretty much anyway you want. Don’t want hand towels like grandma, with flowers and fruits and stuff? Well, these days you can get hand towels that celebrate the geek things that you love. Like Barbarella. These Retro Barbarella Hand Towels are awesome.
If you love the movie, you are going to love having these towels in your kitchen. Each hand towel measures 16″ x 27″ and is 100% soft white cotton. You can get bath towels too.
Rick and Morty is just the best animated show ever. Words can not describe how much I love this show. My fellow Rick and Morty fans are going to love this. Upisnotjump has created an awesome Fallout 4 movie that recreates the best scenes from the show. It will have you laughing out loud. I love how they nailed the whole “2 Brothers” sketch!

Esteban Barrientos created this stunning illustration of Wonder Woman. I love the style and it is super intense and full of action. Her blade is bloody, her lasso unfurled and she is clearly in the middle of a fighting move. I just love everything about this piece. I think he got every detail just right.
Álvaro Ortiz López, from Jalisco, México, is one of the Huichol. One of their traditions is their beaded art which can take many forms, like jaguar heads and other folklore themes. This art is also applied to various helmets and masks. In this case he used the force and combined this tradition with Star Wars, to create this Darth Vader and Stormtrooper mask.
Domingos Aquino created this fun art that turns some of Batman’s cast into Pixar/Disney style characters. He created this piece a long time ago using Adobe Photoshop and illustrator. I would totally watch this Pixar movie. I would love to see him do more DC characters.
Camping. The Final Frontier! Dave Delisle of Dave’s Geeky Ideas is always coming up with awesome geeky concepts that don’t exist, but should. This time he has come up with a Star Trek Shuttlecraft tent. If this thing actually existed, you could camp in the wilderness and pretend that you are stranded on a strange planet, with only your shuttlecraft for shelter. The thrusters combine to carry the whole thing.

It’s not everyday that you see a Batman mask mashed up with Star Wars. This helmet design is pretty unique. It was created by Julian Checkley and it combines Batman’s cowl with a Scout Trooper helmet. It makes for a great futuristic Batman look, that’s for sure. It was created as part of the Biker Scout Helmet project, where artists make interesting and new custom helmets based on Scout Trooper helmets. I love this one.It is perfect for Batman.

These Simple Pop-culture Character Illustrations by Jeff Langevin are pretty damn adorable. So it’s great that you can buy them as prints from his Etsy shop because these are the kind of prints I have to have once I see them. Shown here are sets composed of Star Wars, DC Comics, Marvel and video game characters.
