Bored Pokemon by Hannes Greyling
Hey if you were trapped inside a ball all day you’d probably get a shitty attitude too.

Shadow Inklings by Kevin Roque
Wielding pen and ink, Kevin peppers his paper with thousands of tiny pinprick dots, like inverted stars in the Negative Sky. They coalesce on top of each other until slowly emerges a Gestalt creature or design, which somehow seems to predate your knowledge of its existence; something that was always there, hiding in plain sight deep within the canvas until you happened to notice it.

Geekerie Hoops by Courtney Price
I’m consistently amazed that embroidery can be used as a force for snarky, sardonic humor and not just grandma bible quotes. Where there’s shameless irreverance, a needle, and a will, there’s a way, it seems. Crafty Courtney Price has got me jumping through geek-flavored hoops, which you can purchase over at her etsy or give her a shout for commissions.

Yoshi’s Island by Katherine Hillman / Buuya
Let’s be honest, a talking dinosaur that can weaponize anything it eats isnt cute, it’s goddamn horrifying.

Samus Aran Redesign Sculpt by Jorge Norgaard
What if Samus Aran, the heroic bounty hunter from the Metroid video game series, hadn’t been raised by a race of giant technologically advanced bird people, but instead by a race of giant technologically advanced insects? Answer: it almost wouldnt matter because she’d still have the baddest-assed power armor this side of the Galactic Federation. Jorge’s elegant sculpt reimagines the space adventurer’s scifi suit with a more gladiatorial look encased in a chitinous, Blue Beetle-esque carapace. The upgraded new armor looks interstellarly amazing, but also adaptable enough to help Samus survive any mission.
Homemade Frankenturret by Daniel / Corroder666
The thankfully short-lived Wheatley Laboratories produced many scientific abominations. The Frankenturret, a wretched mashed-together hybrid of the Aperture Science Sentry Turret and the Weighted Storage Cube, was only ever capable of pathetically hopping if placed upright and were quickly discontinued after their creator, Wheatley, was ported into space. DA user Corroder666 made one from scratch, however, complete with glow-y eyes and twitching legs. His goal was to have them walk on their own, but much like the real things, they proved totally inept at even the simplest science. You can read more info about the build (in german) at here, or check out the video below to see it in testing mode:

Mario Bros Map Paintings by Ken Kocses
“Using video game editing software, I first developed, and then painted, a screen map that references Super Mario World, a 90s era video game. The image clearly mimics the style of the old video game, but introduces new elements that add a humorous and nostalgic take on it. The flatly painted surface and intense colors heighten the relationship between the digital and the real.”

GBOY by Miles Donovan / the Daily Robot
The glow-y portable series by Probably Definitely A Robot Miles Donovan resemble the seedy neon signs flickering outside of motels, indicating in this instance where you can go to spend an overheated hour with your favorite classic handheld system.

Inside Video Games by Metin Seven
Metin Seven pulls back the pixelated curtain of the 8-bit stage to reveal the true nature of your favorite cubist heroes: they were never flat, two-dimensional sprites, the problem was really with our perspective. Just like in real life, taking a look at things from a different angle can expose hidden depth you never knew existed. They’re still totally made out of little blocks though, that part was always true. Prints available at imagekind

Rosalind Lutece Cosplay by Laynes Lion
Lives, lived, will live, Laynes Lion makes an uncanny resemblance to the Mother of Quantum Mechanics, but then again, maybe in another world, she really is (was? will be).
