Beautiful Star Trek Pop-Ups Book

Prepare for your wallet to be assimilated. Resistance to this awesome Star Trek Pop-Up Book is futile. You must have it. I know that I have to have it anyway. Star Trek Pop-Ups features seven pop-up Star Trek scenes, which span the entire Trek timeline.

It features pop-ups of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, the tribble scene from The Trouble with Tribbles, a Klingon Bird of Prey, a Borg Cube, Deep Space 9, Captain Proton’s Bride of Chaotica, and the Enterprise NX-01. They were designed by Courtney Watson McCarthy. This is a fun book for Trek fans. I don’t think we have had even one Star Trek pop-up book until now.

Light-Up Sci-Fi Danger Awareness Art

These light-up Sci-Fi danger awareness artworks are clever and inventive and will make your home feel a little bit more futuristic. As if you are on board an actual spaceship, viewing safety warnings on the bulkhead. Etsy seller TheDailyRobot offers several. There’s a bionic arm warning, safety precautions regarding the Star Trek transporter and even one for an Orbital Elevator. The seller very appropriately has this to say about the transporter piece:

You can’t drive a car without getting a license. You can’t fly a plane without getting a license. But any jerk can walk into a tube and get de-atomized, which is why we need signs like these to keep the teleporting masses safe.

You can get these awesome pieces of art from his shop for about $75.

Star Wars Football Helmets

Graphic designer Brandon Hubschman created this series of NFL helmets done up in amazing Star Wars style. If the Star Wars franchise also owned NFL teams, this is what we would get. It makes me wish we could see these on the field.

Each of these awesome helmets capture the characters perfectly. The TIE Fighter and Darth Maul helmets would especially look intimidating on the Football field. I wouldn’t want to be tackled by anyone on team Jabba though. Come on Disney, give us a Star Wars NFL team. The Washington Wookies, maybe the Detroit Droids.

Cloud Atlas Concept Art Explores More Of Neo Seoul

It has been about two years since Cloud Atlas was released in theaters. Many came away from the film not sure what to think about it, some felt it was just uneven, while others thought it was a masterpiece. Well, whatever you thought of the film as a whole, you have to admit that it was ambitious.

Visually, the best part was probably the future world of Neo Seoul in 2144. These are the scenes that blew me away. Here you can see artist Adam Kuczek’s concept art for Neo Seoul, including weapons and vehicles. You can see why it looked so good on screen.

Behind The Scenes Photo Gallery From Ridley Scott’s Alien

We can thank Imgur member Valaquen for these lovely behind-the-scenes photos from Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi/horror film Alien. Valaquen recently uploaded over 253 images, with more to come. These images provide an interesting look at the making of the classic film.

We’ve got rare concept art, newspaper/magazine clippings, vehicle models, cast and crew pics, pics of H.R. Giger himself, costume designs and so much more. You can easily lose yourself for hours looking through all of them. Trust me, I’ve done it. These images make me appreciate the movie on a whole other level. I can only imagine what a thrill it was to work on this movie and help put it all together. To walk in these alien sets. Just amazing.

Superhero Serum Cologne Bottles

Fighting crime is tough work. You might as well smell your best while you are cleaning up the streets or battling mutant monsters from another dimension. This series of conceptual superhero ‘serum’ cologne bottles was created by Charlotte, North Carolina based digital design firm Animink. They look amazing.

These renders are stylish and timeless, much like the comic book heroes that they represent. I’m sure that the scents would also be timeless, if they actually existed. I’m not sure that I want to smell Hulk Rage though. I can only imagine how bad a raging Hulk must smell. I’ll pass on that one.

Star Trek The Original Series Overview Infographic

This factual Star Trek infographic will teach you all kinds of cool things about Star Trek The Original Series. Artist Anna Kerbo gives you all kinds of interesting trivia, like the percentage of crew member deaths sorted by uniform color for instance. Can you guess which uniform had the most deaths? I think you can.

There are facts about the crew members, facts about the U.S.S. Enterprise’s specs and much more. It is a handy chart that will help settle some nerd arguments or just get new fans up to speed. Did you know that McCoy says, “He’s dead, Jim!” at least 14 times in TOS?

A Collection Of Famous Robot Heads

Daniel Nyari put together these awesome illustrations of famous robot heads. How many can you identify? If you are on this site and reading, I am expecting some good scores. You should be able to identity at least 90% of these if you are a true Sci-Fi geek.

Even the Woody Allen robot from Sleeper makes an appearance. If robots really are taking over the world(And we know that they are), we could use more illustrations like this to keep them identified. These heads look great. I would love to see the rest of the robots done in the same style.

To satisfy our Simian craving until then, we have some concept art from this movie as well as Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

These fantastic images come from a new art book that chronicles the design of both movies. It is titled Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films. The book is full of the production photography and concept art behind both films. It is a must buy for hardcore fans of the movies.
