We’re really digging these Chibi Bobblehead Oil Paintings from PaperHologram. They are adorable paintings of popular characters like Spider-Man, Predator, a Xenomorph, Iron Man and more. They are a lot of fun and the perfect decor for your man cave or geek getaway room. They have a lot of nice little details, like the lipstick on Iron Man’s helmet. Either that is from Pepper or he has some explaining to do.
This is Paul Ainsworth’s Napoleon Complex series which features tiny and cranky versions of pop culture characters. It is a fun and cute series and he says that more are on the way. You have never seen these characters so tiny and grumpy. Even the good guys are full of attitude and totally ticked off. I can’t wait to see what other people he adds.
We are loving these Starbucks Style Mugs With Geek Characters from EternalRivalDesigns. You can get just about any character you want and are much better than the original soulless corporate mugs.

This series from artist Butcher Billy is a mash-up of war photography and vintage comics. The images are striking and may well have come from some strange alternate history that none of us is aware off. This is an amazing collision of worlds. Very powerful, with many layers of meaning.
This is the cutest thing you will see all day.

Check out these awesome hand-stitched pop culture portraits by Edinburgh-based artist SquidStitches. She likes to create colorful portraits of pop culture icons in the style of Medieval religious art. It is most definitely a winning combination. Classic and geeky at the same time.
Artist Chris Thornley created these cool with character combos you don’t see everyday. Like Charlie Brown and Hellboy for instance. Or the Scooby Doo gang in Star Trek uniforms with Khan all tied up. How about Woody Allen and Dr. Manhattan? I like the way his mind works. This series is fun and some of them really make you chuckle.
When was the last time you saw 80’s pop culture characters holding adorable animals? It’s probably been awhile. Well, we are here to make it happen. This will be the cutest thing that you see all day long. Boba Fett and Robin are my favorites. Three guesses what animal Robin is playing with? These come from artist Hillary White Rabbit. Thanks for showing us the softer side of those villains Hillary. They don’t seem so scary now.
