Alex Solis has created an art series that shows familiar pop culture characters in disguise as other pop culture characters. Below are just a few to whet your appetite. He has many more on his Instagram page. I’m not sure why, but there is something very appealing about seeing these characters inside of other characters. I really like that Gizmo is hiding inside of a Furby. I knew it all along.
Look at these prints from PlaysWithToys and try not to smile. These fun photos show Star Wars toys at play. Everything from Boba Fett playing soccer to Luke and Darth playing hopscotch with a Stormtrooper.
These prints are a lot of fun. They even have one that shows Chewbacca posing with his Harley. I just love the playfulness of these images as if all of these moments were captured in real life.
Etsy seller autogeography sells all manner of geeky art, but these punny Dalek prints and paintings stand out from the crowd. Exterminate isn’t the only word in the Dalek’s vocabulary. They also know many words that rhyme with exterminate. As shown in these prints:
Exfoliate(A Dalek in the bathtub), Caffeinate(A coffee drinking Dalek), Investigate(A Sherlock Dalek) and many more. These are a more playful take on the Doctor’s fiercest enemies. They are the perfect art for your wall. They aren’t super serious and they are just plain fun.
Last month, artist Nathan Sawaya’s full-sized Batmobile made entirely of LEGO bricks was the centerpiece for an art exhibit at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia called The Art of the Brick: DC Comics, and now we can show you more cool stuff that Sawaya created for the event. He made 120 original art pieces and below are just some highlights. They are all great, but I really love his version of The Flash.
It is amazing what you can do with LEGO. It’s one thing to build a little LEGO house and another to build full sized statues.

Shanghai based artist Eddie Liu created this imaginative series that imagines what some DC superheroes might look like if they grew old and were ready for retirement. We know them as young heroes in their prime, but in real life, everyone ages. It’s fascinating seeing such iconic heroes in a new light. These heroes may be old, but just look at them. They can still take care of business.
I think I prefer seeing our heroes as older rather than seeing them laid to rest.
Check out this lovely Geisha version of Princess Leia from cosplayer Hendo Art and photographer Nelsphotos. This is an elegant Leia for a more civilized age. She is absolutely stunning and totally in command of rebel hearts everywhere. It must have taken a lot of time to make sure that these images came out so perfectly. Many Bothans died to bring them to you.
Artist Jason Ratliff has created a new series of 10 posters that really captures the magic of a child’s imagination. It shows kids and their favorite superheroes as their shadows. How many of us have pictured ourselves as heroes when we were kids? Our imagination is a powerful thing and this series captures it perfectly.
You can get signed and limited copies at his curioos shop.
Artist Alain Bellino created this awesome Darth Vader helmet assemblage using antique bronze ornaments and silverware. This is an elegant Darth Vader for a more civilized age. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to complete and the finished piece makes it completely worth it.
This is one piece that looks like it belongs in a museum. Check out how the light hits this thing. It is so shiny and Sithy. I would love to have this work of art in my home.
No one ever sends me postcards from space, but at least I now feel like they did, thanks to an art show called Postcards from Space, which is being hosted by IAm8Bit in Los Angeles. The exhibit has postcards from fictional, intergalactic destinations. Places that we have all wanted to visit. There are some really great pieces below. The Cybertron one really stands out. It’s nice to see that postcards are still being used in the universe.
Some of the artists that contributed include Marco D’ Alfonso, Nan Lawson, Orioto, Marko Manev, Erich Meyr, Austin James, Concalo Viana, Johnny Yanok, Andrew Kolb, and Cory Schmitz. There are many more. All of them did an outstanding job.

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost here, the folks at Car Wow have been passing the time by designing some cool new Star Wars themed cars. They have reimagined some popular characters as flashy sports cars.
I love them all, with one exception. Can you guess which one I think should be left in a junk yard? I’ll give you a hint. “Mes’a get good gas mileage Ani. Choose me.”
