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.
October 29th was National Cat Day, but if you own cats then everyday is cat day and you already know how awesome they are. Cat day was founded in 2005 by Colleen Paige to raise awareness about animal adoption and to help raise money for groups like the ASPCA. It is a noble way to help our furry friends.
This year Marvel Comics is getting into the Cat Day action by sharing some kitty superhero art created by Jenny Parks. Your favorite Marvel heros have been cat-napped and replaced with felines.

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.
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.
Etsy seller FayProductions makes all kinds of prints that imitate the look of stained glass. They are pretty striking and look just like the real thing. Just put them on your windows and you have some instant stained glass fit for a geek church or comic book temple.
Below are some of our favorites. Click the link to see everything they have. They are reasonable priced between $8 and $25. The more complicated and larger pieces are the more expensive. This is the kind of geek art that can really transform your house.
I love these Norman Rockwell inspired Saturday Evening Post covers. They feature some of our favorite classic DC Comics heroes and villains. This art comes from DeviantArt user OnlyMilo a.k.a. Ruiz Burgos. Wonder Woman, Clark Kent, Zatanna, The Joker, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy all look right at home in the era portrayed on these covers.
I always love seeing these characters in new ways that are totally unexpected, yet realistic. They really come to life here in these classy vintage covers. Awesome work.
British artist Shaun Hughes has some mad engraving skills. He creates quite a variety of incredible hobo nickels. What you see here is just a small sampling of his work. He has all kinds of creations on his DeviantART gallery.
Even if we could, there’s no way we could spend any of these. They are so beautiful you would just want to keep them. These altered coins look amazing.
Artist and art student Creees Lee loves DC Comics. Also Pokemon. Naturally, he made some super cool mashup illustrations that put them together. These DC Comics characters are all hanging out with their Pokemon equals. I would totally watch a show where the DC Comics characters trained these Pokemon and unleashed them on bad guys.
If you want to own prints you are in luck, since Creees will be selling prints of these for $15 each. You can also get the whole set for $70. So much good art, so little wall space…
These superhero illustrations show us what it would be like if OTHER famous actors were cast as various superheroes. This is the work of French artist Alex Tuis and he proves that he would make a great casting agent. I think we can all agree that Arnold as Collusus when he was younger would have been perfect.
Christopher Walken as Professor X? I think that would be awesome. A younger Rutger Hauer as Thor is also a brilliant choice. I’m not so sure about a few of the others, but they all look fantastic. It is a fun series of “What if…” possibilities.
