Check out these awesome colorful prints from Van Orton Design. I just love how these designs pop with vibrant color. It’s like they are wearing stained glass costumes. The artist has several heroes available and they look fantastic when they are all together. Most of these are a limited edition of 75 and they measure 18″ x 24″. You can check out even more here.
You could spend hours just perusing CreativeTimeStudio’s etsy shop. They make all kinds of geeky wall clocks and other stuff from vinyl records. Many of the designs are so intricate you wonder how they did it. Below are some of the superhero clocks that we would love to have in the office.
Each piece is a unique work of art. If you want something other than superheroes, they have plenty to choose from: Star Wars, Rock bands, and more. These vinyl clocks make an excellent gift for any geek on your list.
RoboCop was a classic even in 1987. It has not only stood the test of time, but it has actually gotten better with age. The social commentary, the violence, the humor… It just works. On several levels. If you agree and want a tribute to this classic on your walls, this is the poster for you. It is from Grey Matter Art by Grzegorz Domaradzki. It will be available today in two editions. This poster really shines a light on the excessive violence of the film and is a great piece of art.
The poster is 24 x 36 inches with the white, regular version in an edition of 225 and the grey variant in a limited edition of 100. Find out more here. Click here for more info.
Grey Matter Art also has the other two posters shown below. Robocop art is just awesome in any form. It makes me miss the old Dark Horse comic.
I’m really enjoying Tim Shumate’s geeky art. In his Etsy shop you can find art that covers everything from Gremlins, to X-Men, superheroes and more. The Gizmo piece that says “Hang in there” cracked me up. Below are just a few of our favorites, but you can find much more at his shop.
A lot of them are done in a cool tattoo-like pin-up style. If only I had enough room for all of these in my home. This is some really awesome work. I especially like those X-Ladies.
The Industrial Light & Magic website has shared a bunch of art from The Force Awakens. These images are from throughout the film’s development. The most interesting pieces are the ones from very early on in The Force Awakens’ development, when some things looked very different. Check out that weird folding TIE Fighter, which I love. That design actually makes a lot more sense if you ask me. There are lots of other cool things in these images, like two-man X-Wings for instance.
A few are below, but you can hit up ILM’s site for much more.
The latest Star Trek parody book is coming our way in July from Insight Editions. It’s called the Redshirt’s Little Book of Doom and it looks cute and funny. It is written by Robb Pearlman and illustrated by Anna-Maria Jung. Within it’s pages you will find lovely full page artwork chronicling the troubled life of a Star Trek red shirt, as he has his share of alien encounters, time with crew-mates, and other everyday problems. You have to love that cover art!
You can see a bunch of preview images below. This is one hilarious book. These redshirts sure do manage to get themselves in trouble, even on the ship. It is available for pre-order now and comes out in July.
This Voltron character art by Josh Burns is excellent. Josh wanted to paint the Voltron pilots in a more realistic style than the cartoons. He definitely succeeded. I love seeing the characters reimagined like this. They have a ton of personality and they all come to life. These portraits include Princess Allura, Commander Keith, Lance, Pidge, Sven, Hunk, King Zarkon, and Queen Merla.
This cool art just makes us all want a Voiltron movie all the more. Maybe one day soon it will happen. I wouldn’t mind if it looked like this.

This is a fun take on Andy Warhol’s famous Campbells Soup cans by artist Chung Kong. It’s called Star Warhols. I would hang these on my wall. It’s amazing how well Star Wars characters work with Campbell’s Soup. This would have been an awesome marketing gimmick when The Force Awakens came out. It’s never too late Campbell’s! You can do it at any time.
Ever since Jim Henson went and created the special edition trilogy, nerds the world over have been debating over who shot first. Kermit or Greedo? Well, I’m here to tell you that Kermit shot first. He always shot first.
This Star Wars art work by Dan Luvisi is sure to make you smile. I can just imagine Greedo pulling his gun and saying, “Going somewhere Kermit?”
Here is a project that I would have loved to see come alive. Sadly, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. With the success of Batman ’66, Joe Quinones and Kate Leth wanted to revisit another famous era from Batman’s past. The Tim Burton era. Hence the name Batman ’89. DC Comics foolishly passed on this miniseries pitch. It’s really too bad that we never got to see this, because it sounds great.
Quinones shared some details and proof-of-concept art from the proposal and it looks awesome.
“Our story would have picked up the threads left by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns,” Quinones explains on his blog. “We would have seen the return of Selina Kyle/ Catwoman as well as introductions to ‘Burton-verse’ versions of Robin, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. It also would have showcased the turn of Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent into Two-Face.”
