The Anatomy Of A Pinata
Another fabulous work by the Carmichael Creative, the Pinata Anatomy is a parody on anatomical diagrams. We love imagining what is going on in this Pinata pony, and despite the graphic terminology, we’d eat all the Pinata intestines we could get our hands on. A well-executed and hilarious parody, this image is sure to make you say WHOA! just like it did to us.

Old School Nintendo Console Briefcase
Now you can carry your valuables in true geeky style with this Nintendo NES gaming console brief case. We are hoping no Nintendo NES consoles were harmed in the making of this product, so we’ll pretend that an old, broken down console was gutted and transformed into this awesome case. It seems to be poorly lined with some kind of interior (let’s not dwell on this) ...

Awesome Kitschy Pac-Man Bookshelf
One of our favourite Italian designers, Mirko Ginepro, is responsible for the brilliance behind the Puckman bookshelf. The unit is made out of varnished wood and is of course painted in a golden yellow reminiscent of the 80′s cult videogame, Pac Man.

If ‘The Simpsons’ Characters Were Modern Furniture
The masterminds behind 56th Studio have made us say WHOA! with their hilariously accurate caricature furniture collection. 56th Studio creates and produces quirky designs and cutting-edge graphic works, but all items have a “form-follows-story” mantra.

Canadian Lego Man Goes Into Space
We love proof that not all teens are knuckle-headed baboons (sorry kids, it’s usually true), which is why we are so impressed with 17 year olds Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad of Canada who were able to launch a lego man with a Canadian flag into outer space for merely $400. How did they do it? The teens spent four months developing their Lego Space Man ...
