Sometimes you wonder what heroes do in their off time. In this picture, which is just part of the painting, “Superhero Sholat,” we see superheroes from Marvel, DC, and elsewhere deep in solemn prayer.

It’s an interesting picture; religion isn’t often touched upon in comics, which is probably a good idea for the most part. Think of how incensed fanboys get when they spot a continuity error. Imagine how that could carry over.

“Hey, wait a minute. He was just dead, and now three days later he’s alive again? How many people are writing this thing, anyway?”

And while we’re at it, what do you suppose they are praying for? Peace? Guidance? Forgiveness? Could be.

But I’d bet that all of them are praying that Joel Schumacher isn’t involved in any of their movie adaptations.

The website Dorkly.com, which specializes in video game related comedy, has posted a set of seven images that show just how awesome our lives could be if only the characters in our favorite video games actually existed.

Would we still have to worry about the economy? Not if the Mario Brothers were in town.
What about Osama bin Laden? He’d be caught quickly with bounty hunters aplenty at our disposal.

The art was done by Caldwell Tanner, and all the pictures are extremely well done and quite creative. Can you name all the characters and video game titles represented in each of the pictures?

Normally you’d have to find yourself in a dark back room of some seedy West Virginian bar to see something this weird looking, but this Avatar Storm Trooper Mashup (which if you ask me looks like Predator, a Na’vi, and Zoidberg had a retarded cousin baby and kept it’s head in a Storm Trooper mold) is an art piece done by Denise Vasquez for the 501st TK Project. While we love and embrace all sorts of Nerd this shit is crazy. Just how we like it. Check out some close up giant photos after the jump. (more…)

It was hard for me not to title this article “Oh my fucking god this is SO awesome!”, but I didn’t because I’m a professional. So I’ll just say that someone has a total nerd boner for this right now.  The project enlists the talents of an elite group of contemporary and urban artists  chosen to customize a 1:1 scale replica of the dark lords helmet. There are 100 participating artists for the 2010 lineup.  This  marks the forth year and final chapter of the exhibition . This traveling curiosity is produced by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys. Once the world  tour concludes all the helmets will be up for auction in Philadelphia on July 10th. Want to get your very own one of a kind Vader helmet, but you’re not in Philly? No worries, you’ll be able to bid on these beauties at Freeman’s Auctions . If you promise to love us forever, you can get a preview of the catalog after the jump..

This past weekend, the internets went on a huge nerd debate that is still going & now the news is showing up in a lot of places as it is gaining attention. The debate started  with the famed movie critic, Roger Ebert, who has stated this before, is that video games will never be considered art & believes that when video game will be considered art, it will be long before any of us can experience it as art. The reason why Ebert decided to talk about this is because someone sent him a video clip of Kellee Santiago, video game designer & producer, speaking on how video game is art. In his blog, he goes to explain why he thinks Santiago is wrong, & he does it well and explain his reasons why & is worth the read. (More after the jump) (more…)

Once again the internet makes me cry as my Dragonball-esque drawing style will NEVER be as great as some of these folks that shows their art online and one RoganJosh is one of them. RoganJosh of ModHero, which is short for Modern Art Superheros, has great skills portraying superheros in such a simplistic but effective way. He’s done various of Marvel and DC characters and also, you guys can buy his stuff over at Etsy as these will be awesome to have on the wall. Check some more images after the jump and also head to his website for all of his stuff. Now, I want to draw…but the best I can do is a Goku rip-off with circles as his hands. (more…)

Judge me all you want, but I can’t help it if I see something so awesome and cute at the same time and over at King Panpan, you will find a bunch more of these as I can’t help myself but love these. The artist, Julius Santiago, will give us an awesome bear each day of this year and we get the fun to guess what the reference the bear is based from. After the jump, check out some of the other bears and see if you can figure what they are a reference from.

Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland illustrated by prolific artist and star of the low-brow art world Camille Rose Garcia will be available in print on February 2nd. Have a look at this preview of the work with narration by the artist herself. Check out the behind-the-scenes aspects of what goes into Garcia’s process and peer into the collection of weird and nerdy toys and objects she uses for inspiration. Pretty strange stuff. I can’t wait to buy a copy of this classic story with the badass artwork of Camille Rose Garcia.

You can see more of Camille’s work at her website HERE. If you’re not already a fan you will be. Especially if you’re a fan of  Mark Ryden, Elizabeth McGrath, Robert Williams, Gary Panter or any of the LA Juxtapoz-style artists. She’s the stuff we nerds dream of. I can’t wait till her work comes alive on the big screen one of these days. Mark my words, it will happen.
