Brazilian advertising firm, DDB Brazil is responsible for executing this fabulous idea of artists shown dissected with their innards revealed in the artists’ very own original painting ...
“Luke, I am your (undead) father.” is likely what this freaky zombie-like version of Darth Vadar would mutter. Watercolour artist Wednesday Wolf has created these fabulous pieces for your viewing (and purchasing) pleasure. Freaky Mario and Luigi from the Mario Bothers along with the piraña plants and Yoshi made us chuckle, but the freakishly weird collection of Star Wars folk (including Chewie, Yoda and Darth) take ...
Illustrator extraordinaire, Dave Rapoza, has created these terrifying zombie-like renditions of the beloved 90′s cartoon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The “hardcore” turtles, as they are affectionately dubbed on CG Hub, appear amazingly realistic with careful attention paid to the texture and detailing of the skin. The dead zombie eyes through us off a little, but what we do we know about hardcore turtles? Perhaps the only ...
Where will you be when the zombie apocalypse strikes? Who knows! Play it safe with the Map of the Dead, an informative (and hilariously quirky) online google map resource guide built by Jeff of Doejo (with help from Roman, Dan and Timur). These guy obviously aren’t looking for much credit, but online kudos are definitely appropriate seeing as they have created a zombie survival guide that ...
The works of art by Dr. Frank Scali totally took us by storm (and yes, gasped WHOA! in the most sacrilegious of ways). Dr. Scali is a professional dissector of human cadavers. Creepy, yes, but utterly amazing at the same time. Dr. Scali is best known for his contribution to the 1st edition of Gray’s Anatomy Dissector, and has taken his enthusiasm for human anatomy and ...
We love novelty pillows, don’t you? Thanks to Etsy vendor, DesignsbyNisus, the blood splatter pillow is now on our radar. For a reasonable price, you can give the gift of playful illusion. The blood splatter pillow is make of cotton/poly mix velvet and 100% polyester stuffing. We aren’t sure what else to say about this item, but we’re pretty sure the photos speak for themselves. Besides, ...
North Wales-based artist, Jessica Lloyd-Jones has created a beautifully surreal collection of blown glass organs illuminated with neon lights. The purpose behind these works is to bring to light (no pun intended) how energy is used by the human body. Neon specialists worked with Lloyd-Jones to help her reach the desired illumination, while blown-glass artists helped her turn her vision into reality. Questioning the boundary between ...
Tom French’s latest collection of paintings entitled “Don’t Look Back” is a doozy, and for good reason. The acrylic works of art depict figures (usually, couples) that seem to be happy and in love, but the arrangement of the subjects creates the illusion of a foreboding skull. To add to the creepy-o-meter, French’s works are all in black and white, giving the imagery a certain type ...
Russian artist Vladimir Manyuhin has wowed us with manipulated photos of famous cities around the world. In an attempt to explore what the world could look like post-apocalypse, Manyuhin has made digital enhancements to photos he took of real cities suggesting what the spaces might look like once overcome by mother nature, abandoned by humans and left to decay thanks to the elements. We actually like ...
Mickey Mouse was born in 1928, making him the ripe old age of 84 years old in 2012. Darick Maason has sculpted the Elderly Mickey Mouse. I know what you’re thinking…the artist must have used a Mickey Mouse plastic mask and added wrinkles to it…right? Wrong. (Although admittedly, we thought this too). The sculpture was made entirely from scratch while the artist was enrolled in a ...
We are so happy that there is no shortage of interesting pillow design out there, and the Hizamakura is no exception. Shaped like a beautiful woman’s lap, kneeling in Japanese style, the Hizamakura pillow provides the best imitation of a woman’s lap that is ready for you to take a nap on. The pillow is made from polyurethane and wrapped in a polyester “skirt”. The item ...
Tulipan condom company’s latest ad campaign is turning heads (err…skulls?) with it’s risque content that won’t quite make you blush, but rather cock your head to the side like a confused puppy as you consider “Yes, this is actually what it “really” looks like.” The ads feature skeletons around a modern house doing it on every surface in every position. We aren’t sure what skeletons have ...
French artist Lou Giesan has designed a series of hilarious anatomical organ-shapes jewelry pieces that we absolutely love. The wrap-around necklace modelled after a long strip of intestines and the kidney necklace made us chuckle, but the gold lungs necklace is actually quite beautiful in the weirdest way possible. CHECK OUT THESE NECKLACES MADE FROM HUMAN HAIR
Photographer Federico Chiesa created these brilliant photo series of his interpretation of what classic horror movie characters would look like if they were alive today. Freddy Crugar might be sitting in his modest home enjoying a pack of smokes and some homemade wine, while Darth Vadar (wait, is Star Wars a horror film?) is probably cuddled up with a hot water bottle and a blankie, watching ...
This Chocolate Zombie Bunny is sure to be a conversation-starter this Easter. Who needs plain, boring Easter eggs when there is a chocolate zombie bunny up for grabs? The 8 ounce white chocolate bunny was originally released as an April Fools joke around the ThinkGeek offices, but thanks to popular demand, the zombie bunny is now available to order right in time for the holiday. BUY ...
Haunting images of a once-busy city now abandoned and preserved in time look like a scene from a post-apocalyptic horror film. Pripyat city in the Ukraine once housed the families of thousands of men and women working at the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. But on 26 April 1986 disaster struck when an explosion at the plant caused radiation to leak from its nuclear rector. SOME ...
Silk is a natural resource made from worms, and in rare cases, spiders too. This silk dress was made from the silk of 1 million golden orb spiders and took five years to harvest, prepare and make into a dress. The most impressive part is not the fact that a spider spun some awesome silk, but that the colour inherent in the dress is the natural ...
Belgium-based artist, Nicholas Hendrickx, loves to take macro photography of flies doing everyday things, and for obvious reasons, this caused us to share a perplexing WHOA! with each other that we just had to share with you, too. Hendrickx has named the subject in his “The Adventures of Mr. Fly” photo series Gerald Fly. Needless to say, Gerald Fly’s life has not been easy – he ...
