I know, summer has barely begun, but it’s never too early to start hunting for that perfect Halloween idea. Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown created this awesome 8-Bit costume, lovingly referred to as “Gary,” by cutting out large cube-shaped pixels out of high-density foam sheets. The pixels are attached to an articulated cardboard structure to provide wearability in all three ...

Meg Griffin’s doppelganger has been discovered, and she apparently resides in some random bank, or post office, or some sort of venue featuring tiny safes. But who care’s about the safes! It’s Meg from Family Guy in the flesh! And there certainly is quite a bit of flesh. Should I be�embarrassed�that I’d still hit it? Nahhhh. No shame in my ...

So, apparently WoW addicts are also papercraft devotees, because at least a few of them took the time to log-off of the game and create some really gorgeous papercraft masterpieces. We’re talking pretty exquisite stuff. Masterly detailed and surprisingly lifelike. Or as lifelike as video game models made out of paper can be. Some of these creations just have to ...

Inspired by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana, these pop art-infused Converse sneakers integrate famous pop prints into the design of the shoe. No Warhol that I can tell, but who cares, Warhol is everywhere already. Did you ever think you’d own sneakers featuring Banday dots? I think not. Link [via]

Designed by illustrator Cliff Chiang, these reimagined album covers feature classic comic book heroes, though I like how these heroes aren’t the overplayed, traditionally spotted comic heroes. We’ve got comics such as Vampirella and The Teen Titans, rather than the overly portrayed X-Men and Batman renditions. Though Batman is slyly added with the slick reimagining of Purple Rain.

No crazy technical knowledge needed. It’s sort of like a software packing jackolantern. So you can tell people you’re a master Photoshop masker, even if you never even touched the actual application. I so know what I’m being for Halloween next year. Link [via]

Even horrendous geeky monsters have babies in need of some mobile-aided relaxation. The hideous beasts will be wooed into sleepy land with this wonderful Mobile Mobile. Ohh, look at all the pretty phones. The Mobile Mobile is the result of an agency-wide upgrade which left UK-based Lost Boys International with 50 defunct HTC devices. Being the devilshly creative firm that ...

Perhaps the evilest potato you’ll ever come across, this officially licensed Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head doll made me wee just a tad. Though to be fair, I’ve been holding my full bladder hostage for about two hours now. Whether this is cooler or as cool as the Boba Fett Mr. Potato Head I can’t decide, but one thing’s for ...

Very Important Pixels is a site that creates pixelized images of famous figures and characters. Why couldn’t low-bittage always be this cool?

These Ghetto Transformers costumes are made using cardboard boxes, paint and probably some paper mache. It’s all fun and games until it starts to rain. Soggy cardboard might be the least intimidating material ever. You can’t even give someone a paper cut with that shit. These costumes might work as a Halloween costume on a dry night, but for fighting ...
