Awhile back we featured Patrick Ballesteros 25 Cent Wonders series. His latest series includes some of his best work yet. I don’t think I could ever get tired of seeing these characters riding these kiddie vehicles. Patrick always comes up with cute and clever ways to show some of our favorite geek friends in a new light. You can see more at his website.

Buenos Aires, Argentina based artist In Rainhead created this cool Doctor Who pixel art featuring some of our favorite elements from the show. There’s the sonic screwdriver, a cyberman, a Dalek and the TARDIS. These put me in the mood to play an old Doctor Who video game. It’s too bad that my choices are severely limited. We need more Doctor Who video games. These are cute.

Star wars is such a part of our lives and such a part of our culture, that it is hard to see it in a new light. Well, this art manages to make Star wars feel fresh again and that’s no easy feat. A group of artists over on CG+, over the past few months have been submitting some really nice entries in a competition called Star Wars: Reimagined.
Their mission was simply to “to re-imagine your favorite character, creature or vehicle from the Star Wars universe.” Below are just some of our favorites. You can hit up the link to check out more. There were some amazing entries in this competition.

If you love the X-Men and also love Disney Princesses, but can’t decide which you love more, this is for you. Both have been lovingly mashed up by San Francisco-based artist Diego Gómez. These are just awesome. I can see the potential for an X-Men/Disney crossover. Nah. But this series is fun and beautiful. They make you look at these Princesses in a whole new way.
Canadian artist Nanji Jon-Dakat created these cool conceptual Doctor Who playing cards as part of a school project. We only have the king and the jack, but I love the look of these cards and that Gallifreyan cardback is pretty awesome too. I would love to see a whole set done in this style.
It’s not every day that we get to see our favorite heroes and villains in street clothes rather than their usual outfits. Artist Mingjue Helen Chen created this lineup of DC superheroes and villains so we could see what they look like when they dress a bit more like we do. It would be fun to see some of these as cosplay too. Fantastic art.
Check out Catwoman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Supergirl and Poison Ivy here then go check out Mingjue Helen Chen’s website for more cool stuff.
What would Marvel superheroines look like is they had lived in the year 1887? Thanks to artist Michael Dooney we have an idea. He drew this cool series titled “1887 Ladies” and these ladies look spectacular. They are elegant, with steampunk and Victorian and old west style. I think my favorite is Black Widow. These are so stylish and beautiful. See more here.

If Star Wars was a horror franchise instead of Sci-Fi, these ships might look at home in a galaxy far, far away. As it is, these Star Wars ships as Monsters are very disconcerting and scary. But cool as hell. Artist Jake Parker created these cool ships that are alive in a whole new way. I love how the Death Star has a Sarlacc Pit in it. It’s always interesting to see familiar things in a whole new way. These remind me of these cool sci-fi ships and characters that look like fossils.
These ships are primitive and fierce and are not to be messed with. You can buy a signed print featuring these ships here.

Dean Balangcod shared this project where he created a themed beer label for Beau’s beer. I could definitely get behind a Doctor Who branded beer. These designs are pretty awesome and include a case that looks like the TARDIS with a cutaway so you can see the labels on the beer within.
There are also glasses with the label, but those only show a tractor. The other labels are much cooler and show Zygons, Weeping Angels, a Dalek and a Cyberman. I would love to see some beer with these labels on it.
Behance user Robert Sienicki is a graphic designer and illustrator who was working so hard that he wanted to create something just for fun. So he made a blog and started filling it up with drawings of characters from his favorite movies. He found that drawing Doctor Who characters was the most fun so when he had free time he created these cool versions.
His girlfriend suggested that he make it into a poster to hang in the living room. I have to agree, this makes an awesome poster. It sounds like he plans on adding more characters and I can’t wait to see them. The coolest part of the story? There are only four printed copies in the world. Rob has one, and the remaining three were given to Sue Vertue, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. That’s pretty cool.
