This series of sexy vintage style ads are from illustrator Ant Lucia. It shows the women from DC Comics as powerful and stylish pinup girls.
Each poster advertises a product and service they could represent in the real world. For instance, Wonder Woman replaces Rosie the Riveter in a propaganda poster while Batgirl poses for Gotham City’s airlines. These women have never looked so awesome.
Lilly Mähdrescher could teach the Joker a thing or two about makeup. This is Lily’s creative Batman inspired fashion makeup photo shoot. Lily did the modelling, makeup and styling. I think she totally captured the spirit of Gotham’s bad girls if they did a runway show in Arkham Asylum.
Even male characters like Mr. Freeze and The Penguin are portrayed here as female fashionistas. These looks will be all the rage among Gotham’s crazies this fall.
Even in our digital age, the art of writing is still far from dead. That is as it should be. And if you do still use a pen occasionally, make it a special event with these beautiful new pens based on DC Comics’ heroes and villains. They look gorgeous.
This series of lovely writing instruments comes from Montegrappa and includes pens based on Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Catwoman, The Riddler, The Penguin and The Joker. Each features a clip showing the hero or villain and the pen matches in color. Each is available as a Ballpoint, Rollerball, or a Fountain Pen. They will cost you $395, $435 and $475.
What I find most interesting about artist Jeff Victor’s illustrated Evolution of Catwoman from movies and TV is that in the 2000’s she was wearing a lot less clothes. I never really noticed since I have tried hard to forget Halle Berry’s version of the classic character.
These illustrations are absolutely adorable though and give us a look at how Selina Kyle has changed over the years. It’s not nearly as drastic as some other heroes. For the most part they haven’t changed her all that much.
Do you prefer your heroes and Sci-Fi characters to have a classical flair? Do you like to watch period pieces that feature the likes of Batman and Darth Vader? If they existed, you would watch it. And so would I? These amazing photographs will give you a taste of what that would be like.
Photographer Sacha Goldberger has put all of our favorites into Elizabethan costumes. Boba Fett, Captain America, Catwoman and plenty of others are all in period dress and posed in the artistic styles of the Dutch Renaissance. Goldberger calls the series “Super Flemish.” We like this one a lot.
Artist and art student Creees Lee loves DC Comics. Also Pokemon. Naturally, he made some super cool mashup illustrations that put them together. These DC Comics characters are all hanging out with their Pokemon equals. I would totally watch a show where the DC Comics characters trained these Pokemon and unleashed them on bad guys.
If you want to own prints you are in luck, since Creees will be selling prints of these for $15 each. You can also get the whole set for $70. So much good art, so little wall space…
In this series of superb illustartions, artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros takes Disney and Hollywood and lets them share screen time. It is amazing how naturally these characters go with one another and fit right into the other’s world.
Here you will see the Creature from the Black Lagoon with Ariel, Freddy Krueger with Sleeping Beauty, Batman’s Joker threatening to cut off Rapunzel’s hair and more. It makes me wish that we could have brand new versions of all of these movies with Ontiveros directing as well as being in charge of the art. That would be a darker version of Disney that I would like to see.
We have seen Batman and his world re-imagined time and again in many artworks and it never gets old. This set of illustrations from Kate Jones features the Dark Knight, Bane, and Catwoman.
Not only do they look “sharp”, as if they are made from glass shards, they will look great on your mobile device. She is offering these beautiful pieces up as wallpaper for iPhone, iPad 2 and iPad 3. How can you resist?
