TARDIS Birthday Card Really Is Bigger On The Inside

Behance user Cindy Graf created this excellent TARDIS birthday card. And it really is bigger on the inside. It folds down to 6″ X 9″ and even has a matching envelope with the Doctor and a character that she made. This would be the best birthday card ever. Man, I wish it was my birthday.

Basically this card transforms into the TARDIS, complete with a 10th Doctor, the console room, the pool, the library… It probably even has the eye of harmony in there somewhere too. Way to think outside of the box Cindy. Or did you think inside of the box? Anyway, good job. It’s awesome.

Sci-Fi And Horror Movie Icons Re-imagined As Manga Characters

This is a fun series of fan art that features several sci-fi and horror movie characters re-imagined as manga characters. These iconic characters are all cute and adorable, but can still lay the smack down if they need to. These fine illustrations were done by Matsuda Yuusuke.

I would love to see a cartoon series based on these. Especially the Robocop one. Also featured are Terminator, Alien, Predator, Pinhead, and Hellboy. On a side note, I don’t think I have ever seen the Terminator portrayed with boobs before.

Thrift Store Paintings Get Geeky Makeovers

I’ve seen many artists who do “Piggyback Art”, but few hold my attention the way David Irvine of the Gnarled Branch does. He makes whimsical furniture, Gothic sculptures and what he calls “Re-Directed Paintings”. Irvine finds old or discarded thrift store paintings and brings them back to life, adding all kinds of geeky pop culture characters. Below are just a few examples.

He sells the paintings and prints on Etsy, Society 6 and Red Bubble. You can also see more of his artwork on his Facebook page. I love these pieces.

Your Favorite TV Shows And Movies As Children’s Books

A few weeks ago Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles hosted Storytime, a show of Joey Spiotto’s humorous work. These are kids books that are worthy of any kid’s book collection. Popular movies and TV shows turned into kids books. You can buy prints here.

I especially love the Borg book and the Planet Of The Apes book. Well, I love them all. Can’t pick a favorite. These books would put kids to sleep and fill their heads with all sorts of wonderful adventures. Amazing dreams would follow.

Star Trek Into Iceland: The Ultimate Cosplay Away Team Adventure

Best away team adventure ever! Take four creative Star Trek fans(Andrew Jason Leung, Ken Lin, Jennifer Puno, and Mike Rousseau), a trip to Iceland and some imagination, and you have an amazing Star Trek themed landing party! Their less than five year mission can viewed on their website, Star Trek Into Iceland.

This is the best geeky use of Iceland’s epic landscapes ever. So beautiful. So geeky. They obviously had a super fun time and it would be a blast to hang out with them. I wouldn’t even care if I drew the red shirt. They are my new heroes.
