This is a really cool project. Australia based artist Josip Kelava took a group of his favorite heroes and villains from the worlds of comics, video games and movies, and put together a series of eight, minimalist yet striking prints, mixing these characters with iconic typography.
The images grab you by the eyeyballs and don’t let go – check out the full selection of images in the gallery below, and for some awesome process images, check out the source link – Josip did some amazing work here.
Not that I really need more limited edition, high quality prints, but sometimes, you see one so awesome that you just go, I’LL MAKE THE ROOM!
(Granted, as I have many that I am yet to hang, I suppose I have the room…but I digress.)
Anyway, the awesome print above comes from artist , and is titled “Enter”. The 24″x36″ print is available for just $30 , and I’m really considering it. The crazy action, the popping colors, it’s awesome work…and I now have another artist who’s work to stalk across the web.
I, like so many other folks across this great land we call “internet”, have found myself stuck in the trance of the latest game in the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim.
If you’ve yet to play it, it’s an absolutely immersive RPG on a scale which few have reached, let alone attempted to reach. Given it’s hyperpopularity, it should come as little surprise that spoof and homage videos have popped up across the web.
The Grosjean Brothers put together the above video, which I feel is the best and funniest yet, posing the question, what would Skyrim be like, if it were set in present day?
It’s a great video, and thankfully, avoids all knee/arrow gags. Enjoy, click play!
It’s been over a year since Mad Men Season 4 ended, placing us at a very unique time for everyone’s favorite sixties ad agency.
And it turns out that we know when the series will return. Season 5, premiering a year and a half after the last season ended, will hit screens on Sunday Night, March 25th, 2012.
Mad Men star (and my man crush) Jon Hamm let the info fly on this week’s installment of the always great podcast, and I can’t wait. Not just to get to look at Peggy and Joan again. *sigh*
I think I’ve found the books which I would want to ruin my future children’s minds with.
Well, provided they ever actually existed.
Mixing the whimsical style of the classic Dr. Seuss with everyone’s favorite Dark Knight, deviantART users DrFaustusAU really outdoes himself with some amazing pieces.
If you dig what you see here, be sure to check out his full DeviantArt page, with Seuss-esq takes on Masters of the Universe, Doctor Who and yes, CTHULU!
One of my favorite movies of all time is Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige.
One of my favorite screenwriters of all time is Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing, Sports Night).
I have a secret love of musicals.
So, when they announce that Hugh Jackman will be playing Harry Houdini in a musical written by Aaron Sorkin, it’s something my nerd brain can’t really take. I realize, this is a project that may only interest me, but holy crap, this could be AMAZING.
Unfortunately, this won’t bow until 2013-14, so I guess that still gives me time to see The Book of Mormon, but…this could be something really special. I’ll be keeping an ear to the ground on this project.
Here at blast-o-rama, we LOVE the Batman (as you’ll especially be seeing today). And really, is there any better way to share love and dedication to a character than by an over-obsessive infographic? Well, ScreenRant.com certainly thought so!
Complied by Ben Moore, the graphic above complies literally every single Batman costume variant over the years. Relive literally decades of Bat costuming in one image, and remember your favorites. Personally, I’ve always loved the 80s-90s Modern Era Batman costume the most, but perhaps your favorite is different.
…you’d be wrong, but yeah, perhaps yours is different.
One of the coolest things the internet brings us isn’t just all the information on what is happening, but also what could have been.
As we look toward this summer’s release of The Amazing Spider-Man, the big reboot of the webswinger franchise, it’s probably a great time to look back at 2002′s Spider-Man, directed by Sam Raimi. While it maybe hasn’t aged too well, it’s still one of my favorite movie experiences of all time. One of the things that hasn’t aged great, besides Macy Grey, is the somewhat odd Green Goblin costume. With a big clunky helmet, it feels Power Rangers-esq at times.
But, at one time, we almost had something VERY close to the comic book original. As the above YouTube video shows, special effects masters Amalgamated Dynamics actually had a working makeup/animatronic model which would have made Willem DeFoe look much like the Norman Osborn of the page.
Personally, I would have loved to see this design in action, but I suppose the remote control aspects may have proven too difficult for action scenes. Maybe we’ll see something like this in Amazing Spider-Man 2?
