The Rebirth of Superman by artist Danilo Rodrigues is an amazing and funny modern interpretation of the classic painting titled The incredulity of Saint Thomas. That is the painting that gave rise to the term doubting Thomas, just in case you were wondering. I love it. It’s equal parts geeky and funny, but still has that seriousness of classic works of art. Batman seems skeptical, which is totally Batman in that situation.
AsterozeaStudio made these two cool paintings that you can buy as prints. They feature Catwoman and Poison Ivy done in adorable Big Eye style. I love all of the little details, like Catwoman’s dolls and the fact that Poison Ivy has Batman all tied up in the background. These are just adorable. I hope she makes more.
This Batman 60’s Canvas Triptych features Batman, Robin and Batgirl. It’s going to look great on the wall in your Bat Cave. This triptych set is awesomely retro. The seller has lots of other characters available too and they all look awesome.
Andreas Bazylewski used two separate photos to create this awesome Centurion Stormtrooper. One was of a Clone Trooper body, the other of the Roman Stormtrooper helmet. He put the images together and then into an old Roman painting. The end result is this cool Centurion Stormtrooper, which is going to make sense one day when the Empire figures out time travel.
Cris Alex is pretty talented at body painting. Here he paints himself to look just like a T-800 from The Terminator! He does an amazing job and the end result reminds me of how the T-800 looks in comic books. You can watch the entire transformation in the video below. It’sjust stunning how talented some people are at painting. And painting yourself is even harder than painting on canvas.

These amazing portraits from Young Rascal are really something. They depict the Star Trek crew in classic Navy uniforms as well as on old ships. As someone who really enjoys the Horatio Hornblower stories and Star Trek, they really hit the sweet spot for me. These digital paintings really capture the crew in an entirely different era. Their jobs are pretty much the same, minus aliens and new planets. Keep the ship safe while you adventure on the high seas.
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.
This Voltron character art by Josh Burns is excellent. Josh wanted to paint the Voltron pilots in a more realistic style than the cartoons. He definitely succeeded. I love seeing the characters reimagined like this. They have a ton of personality and they all come to life. These portraits include Princess Allura, Commander Keith, Lance, Pidge, Sven, Hunk, King Zarkon, and Queen Merla.
This cool art just makes us all want a Voiltron movie all the more. Maybe one day soon it will happen. I wouldn’t mind if it looked like this.

This amazing piece of art is simply titled Jokers by Ben Jeffery. It features all 4 of the TV/Movie Jokers side by side. Thank God these guys never found some way to bend reality and get together to terrorize Gotham. Batman would have had his hands full. Seeing them all side by side, it really shows the evolution of the character, at least as far as movies and TV are concerned.
I really miss Farscape, so I was excited to come across this painting based on the show. This painting was inspired by the painting on Farscape in season 1 that Zan makes of Rygel. It was made using over a dozen screen captures that were put together and carefully taken apart, then reassembled one color at a time to make it as accurate as possible. They did an awesome job.
