If you enjoyed Neil Blomkamp’s 2009 sci-fi masterpiece District 9, you will get a kick out of this District 9 theatrical trailer recreated in paper. It is sure to put a smile on your face and make your day. It’s like the creators of South Park have sweded the movie.
This humorous and very well done parody trailer is the work of Tim Kent. Great work Tim.

As cool as most Superheroes are, sometimes their vehicles come off as one-dimensional. That isn’t the case with Josh Ln’s polygonal art. Josh has created famous polygonal cars (and other vehicles) that look absolutely out of this world.
Any Superhero would be proud to drive one of his creations. Here we see the Batmobile, the Turtle Van, even the Millennium Falcon and Back To The Future’s DeLorean, all created out of polygons. The end result are amazing rides that equal more than the sum of their parts.
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will be hitting theaters next week, so we are all eager to see more of this world after the first installment. You might say we are going ape over it. To satisfy our Simian craving until then, we have some concept art from this movie as well as Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
These fantastic images come from a new art book that chronicles the design of both movies. It is titled Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films. The book is full of the production photography and concept art behind both films. It is a must buy for hardcore fans of the movies.

I’m a sucker for the original V mini-series. Both of them. The weekly TV show that they tried to launch after? Not so much. The rebooted version? Don’t even get me started. V and V: The Final Battle are among my favorite Sci-Fi series. And I just love this digital art based on the series.
These pieces were done by Deviantart user flavioluccisano and they just blow my mind, capturing the flavor and style of the series perfectly. He needs to do a Visitors comic book so I can just give him my money every month in exchange for more amazing art.
The subject matter tackled by John Carpenter’s They Live is even more relevant today then it was in 1988. Don’t believe me? Go watch it again. Then look around you. So the timing seems perfect for artists Stephen Zeigler and Calder Greenwood to give downtown residents of Los Angeles a living installation inspired by the classic film.
They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. THEY LIVE.
A rugged loner (RODDY PIPER) stumbles upon a terrifying discovery: ghoulish creatures are masquerading as humans while they lull the public into submission through subliminal advertising messages. Only specially made sunglasses make the deadly truth visible.
Residents of LA got to see things as if through Roddy Piper’s sunglasses. The normally hidden OBEY, CONSUME and SLEEP signs were in full view. And so was an actor dressed as an alien in a business suit.

Korean graphic designer and paper toy artist Jang Suk-Woo created this fun and silly set of illustrations, showing some of the Star Wars characters that we know and love as babies. Hey, you have to start somewhere right? These characters may be cool all grown up, but in the beginning, they needed their diaper changed like everyone else.
For everyone who has ever complained about the prequels, let this be a reminder that it could have been much, much worse. We could have been given three movies of Star Wars Babies. I for one, do not want to see Luke and Darth Vader having a lightsaber duel in a crib.
Dean Walton has created some very satisfyingly retro Sci-Fi travel posters that would look at home in any galactic travel agency. You can book a trip to many famous locales, like Vulcan, Pandora, Solaris, New York as seen in The Fifth Element and more.
However, if you find yourself traveling the cosmos, do yourself a favor and don’t forget your Multi-Pass. Also, if we have learned anything from Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, it is this. It might be a good idea to pack a towel. A towel always comes in handy. And no matter where you go, there you are.
Conceptual illustrator, Gregory Hill has updated his website with some stunning concept art that he created for Ron Howard and Universal’s cancelled film based on Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. The plan was for Howard to make three movies and at least a television mini-series or two, but sadly Universal passed, due to financial concerns.
It looks like we will not get to see this beautiful world(worlds) come to life anytime soon, which is extra sad after seeing this concept art that seems to capture the spirit of the books so well. Now I want to see Roland and the gang on screen more than ever.
