Geek Characters In Pedal Cars

Pedal cars. Everyone loves them. Even Geek culture icons. This series by Chet Phillips is simply called the “Pedal” series. It features famous geek culture movie characters driving pedal cars that match them. This series is super fun and playful. Below are just some of our favorites. I have to say, I love the sight of Crow T. Robot driving a Tom Servo car.

The best part is that you can buy prints, or a hardbound book with the illustrations from Chet’s Etsy shop.

Pop Culture Characters As Fossils

French artist Georges le Mercenaire created this series that imagines famous Pop Culture characters, mostly robots, as fossils dug up by some fictional future generation. Below are just some of them. I love art like this that thinks outside of the box and shows you familiar things in new ways. It’s a fantastic concept.

Among the Sci-Fi characters presented here are Twiki from Buck Rogers, a Cylon, an AT-AT, Darth Vader, Bender from Futurama and more.

Have you ever wanted an ID badge of your favorite Sci-Fi and superhero characters? Well FamousIDs has a great selection. Maybe you can use the Bruce Wayne ID badge to get into waynecorp, or maybe you think the Jim Kirk ID will get you into Starfleet command. Even if those places don’t exist, these ID badges are a fun way to show off your love for a particular TV show or movie.

This Breakfast Mugshot series created by Lance Curran is awesome and adorable. Lance turned his children into superheroes and other pop culture icons by replacing their heads with character mugs from his collection.

Eyes Without A Face

Commercial illustrator Jason Edminston has a new exhibition at Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas. It is called Eyes Without A Face and you can se it up until April 4. It will feature one hundred and fifty pairs of eyes from movies, music and television, so that you can look into the windows to their souls. I could look at these all day long, even if they do appear to be looking back.

Below is just a small sampling of his work. You can check out his site to see more of his awesome work. It’s fun to see how many you can identify.

Famous Cars If They Were Transformers

This series comes from artist Darren Rawlings. These are what famous cars would look like as Transformers! The results are pretty awesome. You can check out his page for more, but below are some of our favorites.

I love the Batmobile Transformer. This is an awesome idea that is well executed. Now if only I could buy toys based on these designs, I would be very happy. maybe one day.

Hero-Glyphics Hieroglyph Style Art

If the ancient Egyptians worshiped Comic Book characters and Sc-Fi icons the way we do, this is exactly what their tombs would look like. Illustrator Josh Ln created this series of geeky hieroglyph style art and very appropriately calls it “Hero-glyphics”.

Best of all, you don’t need to be an Indiana Jones type to decipher them. I mean it’s pretty obvious that Han shot first and that Kirk battled the Gorn. If you like what you see, you can even buy prints from his Society6 store.

Famous Chunkies

Alex Solis’ Famous Chunkies series is a good reminder to eat healthy. It shows what some of our favorite superheroes, sci-fi characters and other icons would look like if they were obese over-eaters.

Being rotund and craving cheeseburgers, these guys and gals are not having any adventures, unless you consider diabetes to be an epic adventure. Great work Alex. It’s a good reminder to us all to take care of ourselves.

Thrift Store Paintings Get Geeky Makeovers

I’ve seen many artists who do “Piggyback Art”, but few hold my attention the way David Irvine of the Gnarled Branch does. He makes whimsical furniture, Gothic sculptures and what he calls “Re-Directed Paintings”. Irvine finds old or discarded thrift store paintings and brings them back to life, adding all kinds of geeky pop culture characters. Below are just a few examples.

He sells the paintings and prints on Etsy, Society 6 and Red Bubble. You can also see more of his artwork on his Facebook page. I love these pieces.
