French illustrator and paper artist Romann Grelott created this spectacular Papercut art featuring an X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon. First he draws the ship out on paper and then cuts out all of the excess areas. The result are starships that are beautiful as lace. It sounds like he plans to add more ships to this series and I can’t wait to see them.
This unique and fun series of oil paintings are from artist Andreas Englund. They feature an aging superhero who continues to fight crime and kick serious butt. It’s kind of nice to see a hero who isn’t young and in his prime. It’s a good reminder that the real heroes are the ones you would never expect.
They really served up the ultimate geek trifecta with this stained glass inspired piece of art. Shaped like the triforce from Legend of Zelda, this illustration features a trio of nerdiness. Star Wars, Legend of Zelda and Lord of the Rings. It is the work of Brazilian artist Vinícius Cavalcanti Marques. Show of hands, how many of you grew up with this trinity of awesomeness?
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.

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.
