Mark Collins created these awesome art pieces that show a few of the Adventure Time characters along with the wisdom that they dispense. Our heroes from the land of Ooo are pretty wise. You would be wise to heed their words.
Here we have Finn, Jake and Lumpy Space Princess all spouting their wisdom. Although LSP’s nugget of wisdom is debatable. I hope the artist creates more. There are so many good lines and wise phrases from the show.
Artist Evgeny Rusolovski created this awesome Star Wars African Totem version of C-3PO. This is certainly one of the most unique takes on the droid that I have seen in a while. I would love to see what the artist could do with other Star Wars characters as totems.
Totem or no totem, never tell me the odds. I bet this is what an Ewok created statue would look like by the time they have made temples and worshiped 3PO for many years.
The Fifth Element comes to life in this stunningly colorful art print by artist Dan Mumford. It is one of the most iconic sci-fi movies of the 90’s and this beautifully rendered image shows off Mumford’s detailed scratch board like technique. This is perfect for any wall in a fan’s home. It measures 27-inches wide by 40-inches high and uses 100 lb satin-finish paper. Just lovely.
Fans of Magic: The Gathering are going to love this card set. WhinyTortoise created 285 Star Wars Magic: The Gathering cards and every single one is awesome. I love the artwork more than the art on actual Magic cards.
This deck has it’s own artwork and mechanics based on Star Wars. For instance, the Jedis have a “Meditation” ability, which lets players return cards to their hands. “Repair” allows your droids to cast their cards repeatedly even after leaving play. There are other mechanics aside from those too. If you are interested, there is a print sheet in pdf form. It appears to be fully playable although I doubt it has been play tested. This looks like a fun version of the game.

If you love the X-Men and also love Disney Princesses, but can’t decide which you love more, this is for you. Both have been lovingly mashed up by San Francisco-based artist Diego Gómez. These are just awesome. I can see the potential for an X-Men/Disney crossover. Nah. But this series is fun and beautiful. They make you look at these Princesses in a whole new way.
It’s not every day that we get to see our favorite heroes and villains in street clothes rather than their usual outfits. Artist Mingjue Helen Chen created this lineup of DC superheroes and villains so we could see what they look like when they dress a bit more like we do. It would be fun to see some of these as cosplay too. Fantastic art.
Check out Catwoman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Supergirl and Poison Ivy here then go check out Mingjue Helen Chen’s website for more cool stuff.
Travis Durden’s aim with these images is to illustrate that ‘the natural life cycle of myths and idols involves their destruction’. Every hero has a downfall. So the french artist created these digital compositions that show the eventual demise of Batman, in collaboration with several other photographers whose images document abandoned buildings around the world. Durden adds elements from Batman’s life into each frame.
It puts Batman in a post apocalyptic world where he is the guardian of essentially nothing. These images are haunting, sad and eerie. You thought he was brooding before! These images make me uneasy. Batman needs a thriving city around him.

Want to transform your car into a vehicle worthy of a superhero? A company called WrapStyle Singapore is making some amazing superhero wraps that are just plain out of this world. You can see them here on several sports cars.
They have Captain America, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man and more. These are some really impressive designs. Then again, these wraps are shown on exotic cars. They might not look as amazing on your minivan or Ford Escort.
