Cats Replace Sci-Fi and Comic Book Characters In These Colorful Prints

You have to love these colorful and geeky prints from Etsy seller GeekyPet. They replace all of the sci-fi and superhero icons that we love with felines, which in many cases, changes the way you look at these characters. They don’t take themselves too seriously, but all fit in nicely. In fact, it’s scary how well these cats do at replacing our heroes.

These fun and playful prints include Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and many more. Check out the Etsy shop to see them all. Jabba The Cat is probably my favorite.

Drunk Superheroes Star In Volkswagen Drunk Driving Ads

These images are from a series of sketches of a proposed campaign for Volkswagen called Drunk Superheroes by Heredia, Costa Rica based Fabio Obando and San Salvador, El Salvador based Miguel Membreño.

The final versions have the Volkswagen logo on the bottom with “Don’t let your ego drive you. If you drink, don’t drive.” It really drives the point home. No pun intended. Whether you are a superhero or a mere human, do not drink and drive.

Star Wars Rebels Imperial Propaganda Posters

After Revenge of the Sith, the Empire is on the rise. But it can not conquer just an iron fist alone. It needs to win the hearts and minds of the Imperial citizens to recruit them to the cause. That’s why the Star Wars: Rebels team came up with propaganda posters for the Empire.

These posters were being handed out at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year and they certainly fit the tone of the show. Of course we love any Propaganda posters around here as long as they are beautiful and menacing. These are!

Game Of Thrones Inspired Makeup

Most of the makeup that you see on Game of Thrones is all about making people look attractive on camera. However, this series of Game of Thrones makeup designs are all about using makeup to display the various house sigils. The makeup was applied by makeup artist Allison Chase and the photos shot by photographer Matt Barnes.

Makeup sales are sure to go way up in Westeros after this and pretty soon every woman will be wearing her house sigil on her face. This is some beautiful work on some lovely ladies.

Star Wars Characters On Earth

Star Wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but what if it took place in the here and now? Photographer Thomas Dagg shows us in these fun black and white photographs. These images have superimposed AT-ATs, the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, and Star Wars characters in everyday settings. You’ll have to look closely at some of them to find the bit of Star Wars within. Like spotting Han Solo’s carbonite block by the trash.

Others are more obvious, like Jar Jar Binks laying in a dark alley. Someone finally got to him. These images are a fun look at what might have been if two worlds had collided. Hit the link above to see more at his website.

Classic Comic Book Covers, Recreated In LEGO

Recently in Los Angeles, Designer Con hosted a group of Lego builders who recreated classic comic book covers as 3D lego displays. These covers rock! Or should I say brick? I should, because the series is called Comic Bricks.

It is fascinating to see these comic book covers come to life in a new medium. It literally makes the scenes come to life and ups the action. It’s also fun to see which pieces the creators used to reproduce various effects. This might be my new favorite LEGO art form.

Bat Time: Adventure Time Cast Turned Into 3D Batman Characters

Behance artist Volatile Vertex created these amazing 3D Adventure Time characters dressed up like Batman characters. I hope he is still working on more, because I want to see what else this digital artist comes up with. These are all fantastic, but Gunter as the Penguin is just priceless. I love all of the little details, like BMO as Alfred presenting a joystick on a tray. Or how Bubblegum Bat Princess is standing on a piece of peppermint.

I would totally buy these if they were toys. It’s Bat Time!

Fantastic Fur: Marvel Characters As Cats

October 29th was National Cat Day, but if you own cats then everyday is cat day and you already know how awesome they are. Cat day was founded in 2005 by Colleen Paige to raise awareness about animal adoption and to help raise money for groups like the ASPCA. It is a noble way to help our furry friends.

This year Marvel Comics is getting into the Cat Day action by sharing some kitty superhero art created by Jenny Parks. Your favorite Marvel heros have been cat-napped and replaced with felines.

Marvel Teletubbies

Grab some Tubby custard and sit back and enjoy these Marvel Superheroes. In Teletubby form. Captain Winky, Hulksy, Lalarine, and Spiderpo are ready for action. These fun mash-ups come from John Paolo Santos, an artist in Malolos, the Philippines.

These four heroes may just be a new team of Teletubby Avengers. And even though their costumes are instantly recognizable, I bet you still can’t figure out what the heck they are saying. I picture them rubbing their tummies before battle and then dragging the bodies of their foes back to their Tubby-lair. I bet that’s how the custard is made.

Amazing Photos of ILM Building Star Wars Models

While we await more info about Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, here is a treasure trove of images that will keep you occupied for awhile. A collection of 140 photographs featuring Industrial Light & Magic’s model building process from 1977 to 1983. These images are just stunning and a good reminder of how incredibly talented these folks were.

The detail on some of these models is just breathtaking. THIS is why more filmmakers need to go back to using models. I could look at these all day long and still see things I never noticed before.
