Starbucks really should be using some of these designs by Ryan Spencer on their coffee cups. They’re missing out on a ton of geek dollars. They could have different characters represent special flavors. I know I would be buying my coffee there if they offered these cups.
Artist Ron Cummings created these fun designs for the 2016 election. These are a much better choice than the two politicians vying to be President in the real world. If you vote Ackbar, you can be sure that he’ll tell you about any traps, however, we’ve always been told to let the Wookie win. So this is a hard call.
This work in progress from artist Abram Baclagon is a collection of Super Heroes designed as labels for bathrooms. You might be asking why? well, aside from being fun, he thought it might be a fun alternative for private kids parties or kid-themed restaurants. Sounds good to me. In fact, I say we use these everywhere. He has separated each hero by team, arranging them according to their first appearance in the group. Their costumes are based on what they were wearing that same first appearance. Even the character’s height is accurate.
He put a ton of work into this project. How awesome would it be to see these on bathroom doors? Heck, Marvel and DC should at least be using these in their offices.
Here is a fun design for some Adventure Time playing cards that unfortunately don’t exist. This was created for Hero Complex Galaxy’s recent Cardistry show, where a bunch of artists gave their own artistic interpretations on unique playing cards. This Adventure time version from Salvador Anguiano is really exceptional and captures the spirit of the show. You can see more at Hero Complex Gallery.
This art series from Sergey Serebrennikov shows three of our favorite Superheroes in action. The mosaic effect creates movement and a sense of action, making these scenes every bit as good as a video clip. I really like the style and I wonder if he could use this effect in larger scenes. It is really interesting to the eye.
There’s nothing better than sci-fi robots. There have been so many over the years, I wish I could collect them all as action figures and have them on my shelf. If only. Well, Joshua Hine has created a really cool series of minimalist robot art that focuses on a bunch of cool sci-fi robots. Some of our favorites are below. You can check out his page for even more. It is a great tribute to movie and TV robots.
This is the art mashup that you never thought you would see. The odd paring of Beavis and Butthead characters with Earth’s mightiest heroes, the Avengers. This is a combination that no one could have seen coming, which makes me wonder just what else Stephen Wittmaak has in his brain. I present to you Stevis and Stark-Head. Heh heh heh…This sucks. I know right! Fire! Fire!
The Last Starfighter is one of those classics that holds a special place in my heart. While Alex Rogan was playing the arcade game on screen and getting recruited to fight in a space war, I was one of those real life kids playing the arcade games for real. It was amazing to imagine that one of these games could maybe set me on an epic space adventure.
That’s probably why I love this The Last Starfighter: Xur’s Revenge Art Print so much. Yep, this is pretty much how a sequel poster would look today. We never got a sequel to this gem of a movie, but maybe one day…
You can purchase it here.
Who doesn’t love Gremlins? Or Mogwai? Even the bad guys are cute. Well, if you have a special place in your heart for the movie Gremlins, you’ll love this minimalist take on the series from french artist Mister Gamma. He calls it part 1 so hopefully he will do more. All of these minimalist designs are adorable. I’m not sure if they are still for sale, since I can’t find them anywhere else, but if you get a hold of these, don’t leave them on your wall after midnight, don’t get them wet and don’t expose them to bright light.
One of the cool things about Adventure Time is that Finn goes through several different swords and each are unique. Jack Ferris decided topay tribute to Finn and his swords by creating this compilation of some of the weapons that Finn has used so far on the show.
