CHAPPiE Inspired Triumph Motorcycle

CHAPPiE Inspired Triumph Motorcycle
Imagine if CHAPPiE could turn into a motorcycle Transformers style. Well, that movie would have been much different if he had that ability. Automotive designer and illustrator Tamás Jakus has imagined this for us. This motorcycle design looks just like CHAPPiE if he were running with Optimus Prime and company.

It is based on a Triumph bike and has a CHAPPiE headlight, his antennae on the back seat and the robot’s overall color scheme. It is absolutely perfect. Now I want one. If this were a toy I would buy it in a heartbeat. The design is just brilliant.

Star Trek From A To Z
This is the best way to learn the alphabet ever. To Boldly Go From A to Z is a fully illustrated alphabet book inspired by Star Trek. The art is pretty amazing and each letter is a classic. This geeky and adorable children’s alphabet book was created by Carly Strickland.

If you want to buy it or any of the individual prints just head over to her site. If you have kids and are a cool parent you’ll get one for you and one for your kid.

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveal HERBIE The Robot

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveals HERBIE The Robot
If you were disappointed with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie, you were far from alone. One thing that we didn’t see in the movie was HERBIE the robot. Apparently the robot was to be in the movie at one point. Not that this would have helped any.

HERBIE stands for Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics. Thanks to concept artist Fausto De Martini we have some concept designs showing us what we missed out on. He is literally a robot sitting on a soccer ball. He also has LEGO parts. I’m guessing it was to be built by Reed Richards as a kid in the film. Or maybe as an adult. I mean most of us never grow out of LEGO. It’s kind of cool, but it also feels like something is off about it.

Star Wars Dr. Seuss Fan Art

Star Wars Dr. Seuss Fan Art
Two of your childhood favorites get mashed up into one cool new thing. I’m talking Star Wars and Dr. Seuss. This classic mashup is super adorable and comes from artist Jason Peltz.

The force is the force. Of course of course. I would have loved to have these children’s books as a kid. It’s too bad Dr. Seuss never teamed up with George Lucas. At least we have cool art like this to show us what could have been.

Minimal Trek Is Maximum Fun

Minimal Trek Is Maximum Fun
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.

The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy

dark knight book 2
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.

Cosmetologist Transforms People Into Comic Book Heroes and Villains
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.

Lovely Poison Ivy Cosplay

Lovely Poison Ivy Cosplay
I look at these images of Avant-Geek cosplaying as Poison Ivy and all I can do is quote George Takei and say, “Oh Myyy!” That’s because she looks absolutely stunning. This is her original design called Enchanted Ivy. She clearly loves whimsical and romantic designs that play well with nature.

She really looks at home in nature as does that dress. These images are simply lovely. Some cosplayers just put on costumes, others create works of art. Great work Avant-Geek.
