Illustrator and cartoonist Ed Harrington has a great sense of humor. He created a funny and clever collection of IKEA assembly instructions that don’t make cabinets, but instead tell you how to make classic movie monsters like a Xenomorph from the Alien movies, Pinhead from Hellraiser and more.
You can find more on his Harrington’s Tumblr blog. Awesome stuff.
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.
The Art of Alien: Isolation is a lovely coffee-table book published by Titan Books, featuring more than 300 concept images, illustrations and sketches designed for the insanely popular SEGA videogame. To set the stage, Isolation takes place in the year 2137, 15 years after the events of Ridley Scott’s original Alien.
This book is 176-pages of amazing work from dozens of outstanding artists, painters and illustrators. It is the perfect companion to the game. There’s no doubt that you can get lost for hours in this book.
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.

Comic Book Resources recently held a new weekly mashup art collaboration titled The Line It Is Drawn. Their 142nd theme is all about Adventure Time! Here we get to see how Jake and Finn and the rest of the gang fit in with various comic books.
Below are some fantastic illustrations that mashup comic book superheroes and villains with characters from Adventure Time. I would love to see a new Adventure Time comic book like this every week. You can find the artists through the links below. This is just a sampling.
Finn, Fionna, Flash and Flash-Crisis On Four Earths
If Captain America Had Been Revived In Ooo
Galactus Eating The Candy Kingdom
It is really a shame that we can’t get a good animated Fantastic Four movie made. This artwork by Earl Norem is just stunning and this should be the template for an animated movie. It’s from a vintage kids book and is more alive than most movies.
Someone needs to run with this idea. This art is just amazing.
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.
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.

If you watch Mad Men then you are very familiar with the opening to the show. Etsy seller noodlehug was inspired by the show to create these neat posters, with pop culture characters in place of the Mad Man from the intro. We’ve featured this seller’s work before and I have to say, I really like their stuff.
Now we get to see Darth Vader,Boba Fett, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Loki, Spider-Man and others replace Don Draper in these mashups. I’m thinking that these guys would all make an amazing ad agency. They could call it Draper, Vader and Fett. Or maybe Vader, Fett and Sterling. Something like that.
Etsy seller handdrawncreative has a super nice and retro hand drawn Silent Running print. It is a limited edition of only 20 prints and he tells me he only has one left.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Douglas Trumbull’s 1972 film featuring Bruce Dern. I know I would love to display this in my man cave. Each print is signed and numbered. For those of you who have never seen the movie. Shame on you. Go do that now.
