Famous Oldies: Old Superheroes By Alex Solis

All of our superheroes are either young or in their prime, but we rarely ever see old superheroes. They are perpetually young and strong. Well, not in this amazing art series from Chicago-based artist and illustrator Alex Solis. Here we see familiar heroes as senior citizens. Still super, just… Super old.

The series is titled Famous Oldies and that is just what they are, shown here wrinkles and all, still doing their thing. I’m just glad to see that they have not given up after all of these years.

Star Wars Anti-Stress Coloring Book

Many adults seem to like to color these days just like they did when they were little padawans. This Star Wars Anti-Stress Coloring Book should please young and old fans alike, but it is marketed as an anti-stress activity here. I can certainly see how it would be relaxing to color these images in or even destroy Jar-Jar’s face with my angry crayon strokes.

This fun coloring book features over 100 original Star Wars illustrations and mandalas. Get your crayons ready and may the force be with you.

Pop Eggs: Pop Culture Art To Get Egg-Cited About

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.

Classic Scifi And Fantasy Rides

Over the years Sci-Fi has given us many cool and famous rides. This is by no means a comprehensive series detailing all of them, but Christian Petersen’s art covers some of our favorites. I like the captions he provided under each one. The real question is which would win in a race? Well, that’s obvious.

The TARDIS would almost win, but since that miniature ship is in the Doctor’s bloodstream, it would cause him to pass out, allowing the miniature ship to leave the Doctor, exit the TARDIS and win the race.

Batman, Superman And Wonder Woman Tattoo-Style Art

This tribute to “The Bat, The Amazon and God” comes from artist Nicolas Côme. It features Batman , Superman and Wonder Woman in a Tattoo art style. I’m not usually a big fan of this kind of tattoo art, but I have to say, I love these. All of the details just blow me away. They would really come to life with some color. I guess this is what our heroes would like like after they are long gone and in the grave. It is disturbing yet beautiful. I would love to see these on someone’s skin. I would also love to see the artist do more heroes.

Geeky Pop-Culture Portraits By Mauro Balcazar

Check out these geeky pop-culture portraits by artist Mauro Balcazar. He draws inspiration from his favorite movies and TV shows to create amazing mixed media portraits of scifi and fantasy characters.

They are colorful, classy and fun. I love all of the little details that he works into these portraits too. I would love to see some of these on shirts. Make sure you check out his website for a lot more. He has a lot of great work.

The Daily Lives Of Superheroes And Villains

We can never get enough of seeing fictional characters doing everyday things just like us mere mortals. I think it makes us feel more heroic somehow and by seeing superheroes and pop culture characters doing things like laundry and using public restrooms, it kind of brings them down closer to our level.

This series of amazing photographs comes from Canada-based photographer Daniel Picard. It shows superheroes, supervillains and other pop-culture characters doing all of the stuff that we do. He uses action figures, but you would swear that some of those characters are real people dressed in a costume. You can check out his Figure Fantasy book for many more.

The Lost Family Portraits Of Sci-Fi Icons

Berlin, Germany based artist Sanja Zakovska created this fun series called The Lost Family Portraits. It depicts some of our favorite Sci-Fi icons in antique style portraits. The best one is the Alien/Predator family portrait with Predator dad, Alien mom and Facehugger child.

This is a clever and fun series that puts some familiar faces into our past and lets us view them as if in a scrapbook.

Pop Culture Characters In Disguise

Alex Solis has created an art series that shows familiar pop culture characters in disguise as other pop culture characters. Below are just a few to whet your appetite. He has many more on his Instagram page. I’m not sure why, but there is something very appealing about seeing these characters inside of other characters. I really like that Gizmo is hiding inside of a Furby. I knew it all along.
