Rely on a bulb made out of pixels and you’ll likely be left in the dark. This ain’t no 2D world, sucka. We need light with three dimensions. I could see this working in a awesome in a totally pixel-themed room, but other than that this shit will just look out of place and pretty useless. I love it, but ...

90’s children’s cartoon characters + Mortal Kombat fatalities = pure awesomeness. Pixel artist Jude Buffum created these two prints, one featuring Carebear ripping out Teddy Ruxpin’s heart, the other featuring Strawberry Shortcake being decapitated by Rainbow Brite. If wanting to own these prints is criminally insane, consider me a high-priority patient of Arkham.

Artist Thomas S. Kuebler creates wax sculptures featuring freaks, horrors and legends. Pictured above is his ultra-realistic sculpture of Schlitzie, perhaps the most famous and beloved pin-head in both freak show and pop culture history. Link [via]

If the Last Supper was attended by our favorite animals from the best internet memes across the web, it would have probably looked something like this. Just with more poop. Who else but Keyboard Cat could take the place of the man himself? And, wow, I’d be so star-struck if I happened to get a seat. But the tickets per ...

The ultra-realistic mechanical tumor plugs into your computer, pulsating and growing as your computer works harder and harder. I’m sure designer Mio I-zawa had a more significant symbolization in mind than my nausea can dictate at the moment, but for now all I can think of is not puking. Hit the jump for a super creepy tumor-filled video.

Star Wars wasn’t kidding when it said “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” Those films took place a LONG, LONG time ago. So long ago that Darth Vader was apparently buried as the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were buried; mummified and decked out in a special Vader sarcophagus. The new tomb was unveiled by Egypt’s antiquities ...

Tarantino’s iconic Pulp Fiction is one of the most visually recognizable movies in film history. His characters are so memorable that even in LEGO form they are easily distinguishable. Even as LEGO brick men, Vincent and Jules are two “bad motherfuckers.” Link

In the winter I usually like to grow a full-blown beard, as it helps to keep my face warm and crisp through the harsh snowy season. My skin, on the other hand, has an issue with the hair growth and personally holds me accountable. I’m pretty confidant that I’m allergic to my own hair. I get patches of dry skin ...

Back when the bat-signal was still illuminated by candle light, a non-electronic wielding vigilante roamed the streets, hunting down such villains as Jack the Ripper. Marc Tan created this awesome piece titled “Gotham by Gaslight,” visualizing the image of Batman as seen through the eyes of 19th century Gotham. Link [via]

Like a lot of geeks out there I have a constant stream of crap being shipped to me from various internet companies. But I’m getting sick of just chucking all of the cardboard away. There has to be something productive we can create using all of our excess boxes. And then I came across this and I had a “Eureka!” ...
