Start your morning right with a well balanced breakfast. Okay, these sugary cereals are anything but well balanced, but they are mischievously delicious. Just like with the cereals we grew up with, the artwork and the toys are the best part. I want the Infinity Gauntlet and Thor’s hammer.
Artists Bamboota and Elliot Fernandez certainly know their breakfast cereals. Some of these are available on T-shirts here.
These images are from a series of sketches of a proposed campaign for Volkswagen called Drunk Superheroes by Heredia, Costa Rica based Fabio Obando and San Salvador, El Salvador based Miguel Membreño.
The final versions have the Volkswagen logo on the bottom with “Don’t let your ego drive you. If you drink, don’t drive.” It really drives the point home. No pun intended. Whether you are a superhero or a mere human, do not drink and drive.
Grab some Tubby custard and sit back and enjoy these Marvel Superheroes. In Teletubby form. Captain Winky, Hulksy, Lalarine, and Spiderpo are ready for action. These fun mash-ups come from John Paolo Santos, an artist in Malolos, the Philippines.
These four heroes may just be a new team of Teletubby Avengers. And even though their costumes are instantly recognizable, I bet you still can’t figure out what the heck they are saying. I picture them rubbing their tummies before battle and then dragging the bodies of their foes back to their Tubby-lair. I bet that’s how the custard is made.
With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still being a year and a half away from theaters, we need a Batman fix now more than ever. Well, feast your eyes on these behind the scenes images from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
Luckily for us these movies were very well documented, so we get to take a look at what went on behind the camera. Nolan really nailed Batman and even if I didn’t care for much of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan really understood Batman in a way that other filmmakers have not.

Brazilian digital artist Marcel Fukuwara helped make these ads for the government of the state of Ceará in Brazil. The ad’s message is simple: “The Real Power is in You.”
These clever ads encourage people to donate their organs to save lives, thus becoming superheroes themselves. I think it’s brilliant. I just wish there were more heroes represented. Organ donation is one great way in which ordinary humans can make a big difference.
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.
It is really a shame that we can’t get a good animated Fantastic Four movie made. This artwork by Earl Norem is just stunning and this should be the template for an animated movie. It’s from a vintage kids book and is more alive than most movies.
Someone needs to run with this idea. This art is just amazing.
These retro illustrations come from Atomic Girl and depict several famous geek women as World War II pin up bombshells. They were inspired by the pinup art that pilots used to paint on the side of their fighter planes. Ironically, with an invisible jet, Wonder Woman is her own plane pinup art.
Here we have Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Molotov Cocktease and Slave Leia. They look great on the side of a plane or even on T-shirts for that matter. Hopefully she will add more geek women to the lineup. I would love to see Batgirl and some of the Marvel X-Girls as well.
It is the Dark Knight’s 75th anniversary. To celebrate, Gulf News has put together a 4-page PDF highlighting the evolution of the dark knight over the years. Batman’s look has changed and evolved over the decades more than people realize. Especially when you take into account that it isn’t just in the comic books. There are the TV shows, movies and even video game versions of the Caped Crusader. Here are 20 of the most iconic, popular and even some of the oddest incarnations of the Batman. Enjoy.
