Alex Solis’ Famous Chunkies series is a good reminder to eat healthy. It shows what some of our favorite superheroes, sci-fi characters and other icons would look like if they were obese over-eaters.
Being rotund and craving cheeseburgers, these guys and gals are not having any adventures, unless you consider diabetes to be an epic adventure. Great work Alex. It’s a good reminder to us all to take care of ourselves.
These charming and whimsical Doctor Who GIFs from all 12 Doctors(Sorry once again War Doctor, but you have been left out) come from Beijing, China based artist Mengying Wang.
They are simple and adorable. Scrolling through them all is almost like seeing these versions have mini existences and watching them regenerate one after the other. On a side note, please give love to the War Doctor people! He is every bit as important as the others.
DugMcUglyArt made these super cool matchbook paintings with some of our favorite geek pop culture characters. Below are just some of his miniature masterpieces. The art is fantastic, but the artist also manages to inject some humor into these paintings.
One of my favorites is “The Hound” with the matches appropriately burned. Another is Jack Nicholson’s joker from Tim Burton’s Batman movie. I would love to display all of these together. Awesome work.

You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but when the covers are this good we just can’t help ourselves. Penguin Books is releasing an updated anthology for their Doctor Who short stories that are written by famous children’s authors. This new version is updated to include a story for Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor.
But just look at those new minimalist covers for each book. It really is like having every doctor inside of that TARDIS slipcase. Take my money!
You’ll get stories written by Neil Gaiman, Malorie Blackman and Eoin Colfer. The new story for the Twelfth Doctor is Lights Out by Holly Black. There will be a normal edition of the collection that has all 12 stories in one book, but this gift edition is the one that has the awesome covers.

Postcards from the edge…Of time and space. What if you could visit some of Doctor Who’s locations and then send postcards back home to your friends and family? If you could, they would hopefully be as beautiful as these Doctor Who inspired postcards.
These lovely works of art come from the combined forces of Behance users Megan Lara and Harry Gordon. I think I’ll give Skaro a pass and visit Gallifrey and Midnight.
Kansas City, Missouri artist Josh Ln has a fun and creative anatomical illustration series of famous spaceships from science fiction. The series is titled Spaceship Skeletal Surveys and features ships from SciFi films and TV shows. Now you can see what they would look like if they had a skeletal structure.
We have the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the Enterprise from Star Trek, the TARDIS from Doctor Who, Firefly and a viper from Battlestar Galactica, all showing off their anatomy. You can order prints and all kinds of apparel with these five designs printed on them from Josh’s Society6 store.
Some of the art we feature here is mindblowing, inspiring, just beautiful, or just plain fun. I would say that the 25¢ Wonders series from artist Patrick Ballesteros hits all of these notes. These illustrations bring back the fun of being a kid while we watch some of our favorite characters as kids themselves, riding kiddie rides.
They also evoke a nice sense of childhood innocence and wonder. You can’t help but smile as you peek into these scenes, watching characters that we know so well, as cute kids, and wishing we could see the scene unfold, just to see what comes next.

This graph may not tell you how many years each of the Doctors has been traipsing through time and space, but it will tell you exactly how long every single Doctor was on the air for.
Obviously Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor wins this competition. William Hartnell’s original Doctor comes in at second place. It’s a handy and fun chart if you want to know exactly how long each Doctor was on the air. And of course you do, because we can’t get enough of Doctor Who.
Artist Randi Sparkman created these clever Doctor Who inspired bank notes, which I’m assuming are only printed on Gallifrey. Which is a shame really, because along with the destruction of the home planet of the Time Lords, the currency tanked. Then it was all revived again when all 13 Doctor’s saved the planet, so it’s all good.
This currency features Daleks, the TARDIS, the 9th Doctor and the 10th. As currency goes, this is some of the coolest I have ever seen. I’d love to have a pocket full. It beats plain old galactic credits anyday.
It is amazing how well some things just go together. Like Doctor Who and Adventure Time. Who would have thought? Cartoonist Alex Dempsey knew all along and now he shows us with these charming illustrations. This series is aptly titled Adventure Time and Space and shows us a world where the ninth through twelfth Doctors and their companions merge with Adventure Time. These two shows work perfectly together.
If we could watch this show, it might even be more fun than each of them are on their own. You have to love the fact that he even threw in the ninth Doctor’s banana. That’s just perfect. Also, the War Doctor. Yay!
