This fun series titled “Gotham City” comes from Brazil-based artist Rick Celis. In some bizarre alternate universe, Batman: The Animated Series has an all Disney cast. My favorite is Geppetto and Pinocchio. I don’t think I have ever seen them look scary before. Gotham City just got stranger. Who knew that was possible?
In space no one can hear your thrusters scream. This amazing custom-made Iron Man and Alien Xenomorph mashup was created by the Samkwok workshop. They used Hot Toys’ 1/4 Iron Man Mark 43 figure and added all of the awesome xenomorph details. This figure is just a stunning creation. If I were Hot Toys, I would hire this guy and have him make a prototype so we can all own one. That paint job is masterful.
This series titled “Cosmic Comics” takes some of our favorite Marvel characters and puts them against the backdrop of the cosmos. These already powerful superheroes look even more like Gods when floating through space. Several of them look as if they are in a reflective state of mind, as if contemplating the mere mortals of far off Earth.
This art is simple, yet powerful. It’s like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Marvel got together for a new series.
You have probably seen your share of Star Wars mashups that make use of The Force Awakens poster, but I bet you haven’t seen this awesome mashup before. I love those Mars Attacks aliens, so this really cracked me up. You can practically hear them making their weird Martian noises as you take it all in. My other thought is this…. Rey has looked better. This fun art was created by Taiwan based artist Yu Shen Yang.
This art series from Kate Dawe is appropriately titled “Pop Eggs”. It takes pop culture characters and throws an egg into the mix. It’s a little odd, but that’s what we like about it. It’s also playful and fun.
The word puns are in full effect in the titles too, like E.T. The Eggstraterrestrial, Jurassegg Park, The Termeggnator and more. If you want to make a pop culture omelette, you have to break a few eggs right? Or at least incorporate eggs into your art. You can check out more in the link above. It’s egg-citing stuff.
We are loving this colorful series of illustrations by Deviantart user DjeDjehuti which depicts our favorite Disney princesses as Game Of Thrones characters. It’s an interesting idea, taking the wholesome world of Disney and mixing it with the violent world of GOT. I think they turned out pretty wonderful though and it makes us see these characters in a whole new way. The artist says:
This was a silly idea I had a little while back and so became a little pet project of mine – both the world of Disney Princesses and Game of Thrones have become so culturally pervasive, and feature such a diverse cast of ladies, it seemed crazy to me that this hadn’t yet been done!
I’m pretty surprised that this hasn’t been done myself. And if it was, I doubt it was this cool. A few of our favorites are below, but you can check the artists site for more.

This is a fun take on Andy Warhol’s famous Campbells Soup cans by artist Chung Kong. It’s called Star Warhols. I would hang these on my wall. It’s amazing how well Star Wars characters work with Campbell’s Soup. This would have been an awesome marketing gimmick when The Force Awakens came out. It’s never too late Campbell’s! You can do it at any time.
Here’s a mashup that I bet you never saw coming. It’s a colorful and bright mashup, that’s for sure. Rage Gear Studios created this fun fan art mashup of Rainbow Brite and the X-Men. Wolverine, the manliest X-Man ever is now Mean Mean Tangerine. Rogue becomes Roguey D’Mint. The art is adorable and they did a great job emulating the whole Rainbow Brite vibe. I just can’t get over Wolverine looking so… Happy and bright.

This art mixes Star Wars and Regency era art to create something really breathtaking and original. It was created by artist The Real McGee. I hope they create many more. This style really works and keeps the Star Wars gang looking classy and timeless. I really love the one with Rey. Check out more of the series below.

If there are two things that summarize the best parts of my childhood, they would be the vintage Star Wars action figures from Kenner and the Star Wars trading cards. I collected as many as I could find of both. So imagine my surprise when I came across this. Matt Davenport’s homemade Star Wars figure trading cards are awesome. He recreates these vintage cards using vintage Kenner action figures.
They look so good you would swear they came out of the packages and have a bubble gum smell. Matt is a news anchor in Idaho and obviously he has been a Star Wars fan his whole life. The idea came to him when he was taking pictures of his toys. I would so love to collect these cards.
