By now you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi movie The Martian. It looks like it might be one of the year’s best films, but would you expect anything less from Ridley Scott?
Well, check out this new mashup from YouTuber Tony D. It has audio from The Martian trailer mixed with video from Pixar’s WALL-E. The second video is a shot by shot comparison with The Martian’s real trailer. They did an excellent job on this one.
The original Star Trek TV series was a pop culture phenomenon. Almost everything about it is iconic. In fact, it is amazing that the stars aligned to create such a show that would endure. Now a new Kickstarter campaign is underway in order to create minimal art based on the show.
It is called Minimal Trek, and these minimal posters and postcards are as amazing as the original Star Trek itself. They may be minimal, but they are awesome. They are created by graphic designer Mark Gonyea, who made one for all 79 episodes. He wants to make a 5X7 postcard for each season, an 18X24 poster for each season, and a limited edition 18X24 poster with the images from all three seasons. Hit the link to help fund it.

This “Goodbye old friend…” Live Long and Prosper necklace is an elegant celebration of Mr. Spock’s Vulcan hand gesture. It is available in white gold, yellow gold, platinum and sterling silver. You can also choose scientist blue (Swiss Blue Topaz) or Vulcan Blood Green (Created Emerald).
It is the only logical choice when it comes to jewelry. Mr. Spock would approve.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy started with Batman Begins, which explored Batman’s origins. The Dark Knight raised the stakes, pitting Batman against the Joker. Then The Dark Knight Rises completed the arc.
The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy tells the complete behind-the-scenes story of all three films. It is based on in-depth interviews with Nolan and all of the films’ key cast and crew and explores the creative process behind the epic Dark Knight Trilogy, with amazing art and never-before-seen photography. These movies changed the way that superhero films were made.
Makeup artists can do amazing things in the movies, but they are never expected to use only makeup to create superheroes. In the movies they have costumes to help, but if you want to make it look like these heroes have just jumped off of the comic book page. makeup only is the way to go.
Much like Lianne Moseley, cosmetologist Argenis Pinal uses makeup to transform himself and others into amazing looking comic book superheroes and villains. Check out his Instagram, Facebook, and his website to see more.
Whether you enjoyed Josh Trank’s FF4 movie or not, you’ll like this. Concept artist Steve Jung has released some concept art that he made for the much talked about and maligned Fantastic Four film.
What is interesting here is that they feature a different-looking Planet Zero and also show off Doctor Doom’s castle. This art was created in 2013, and you can see from these images that at that time, that things changed a lot. I’m really enjoying what I’m seeing here. We can only imagine what kind of movie we would have gotten if their plans hadn’t changed so much.
The 1982 DC Comics Style Guide is now online and complete. This is some really stunning artwork. Those were the days. I wish we saw more of this style today. The style guide features many character designs, color guides and model sheets. These were all used for marketing and licensing and they also served as a reference for the artists. You have probably seen some of these images on merchandise. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while Todd Klein inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds seen in the guide. I love them all, but this era Batman really looks awesome.
Check out the entire Style Guide. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while he himself inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds.

Nina Levy is a really cool mom. She packs her sons’ lunches every day and every day she includes a piece of artwork on a napkin. She uses waterproof art markers to turn disposable napkins into one of a kind illustrations that the kids love. She draws creatures and all kinds of characters from pop culture.
We like these Star Wars ones the best. Especially the ones that feature Star Wars characters riding dinosaurs. These are all kinds of awesome. The Wampa hanging onto the dinosaur takes the cake.
