Cinematographics Murals Bring Movie Graphics To Your Walls

ART, HOME

Unless you’re a teenager or a movie buff, movie-themed decals just seem a little too unsophisticated for adorning your home’s walls. Still, I can’t help but gush over just how pretty these Cinematographics Wall Murals are. Made by Pixers, the collection consists of high-quality decals, each one based on a popular film. Available in a variety of custom sizes from small to huge, the adhesive murals can cover up entire walls in any part of your digs, whether you plaster [...]

Painted Animal Skulls: Manly Décor Can be Pretty, Too

ART, HOME

Putting up roadkill skulls as trophy head displays doesn’t seem like the most appropriate way to dress up your urban chic apartment. There’s just something very 90s industrial metal about it — not the kind of thing a sophisticated man of the 21st century will use for decor. Unless, of course, they get finished in bright colors like these Painted Animal Skulls. Made by Stephan Alexandr, these are real skulls retrieved from animals who passed on. Some are partial, some [...]

Zombie Slayer Axe Boasts Gorgeously Barbaric Chain Link Handle

ART

I always thought zombie-slaying weapons needed to look more like handheld bladed weapons from barbarian movies of old. Post-apocalyptic bandit gangs just don’t look half as awesome when they walk around with the same crossbows, axes and jungle bolos as everybody else. The Zombie Slayer Axe doesn’t suffer from this problem. Made by blacksmith Stephen Heeney, it’s an axe designed specifically for hacking zombie skulls. The creator, in fact, recommends not bothering to use it to chop wood, as it’s [...]

LumiLor Turns Everything Into An Electroluminiscent Object

ART, SIMPLY COOL

Electroluminescent (EL) wires make for some amazing light displays. While there is plenty you can do with them, those thin strands do put a lot of limits on what you can turn into a glowing mass. The LumiLor changes that. Made by Darkside Scientific LLC, it’s a coating you can layer on any object to give it an electroluminescent surface. Like EL wires, the coating will illuminate with a glowing light when a current is passed through, making it possible [...]

Pearce Knives Offer Blades With Unique Handles

ART, HOME

You can buy knives most anywhere. If you want a knife you can impress your buddies with when they come over, though, you’ll probably need to commission a relatively expensive custom from a knifemaker. Alternatively, you can jump over to Pearce Knives and get yourself one of the unique bladed weapons in their inventory. Ran by Logan Pearce, a third generation knifemaker, the creations feature some of the most unique knives we’ve seen. It’s not surprising since Logan learned the [...]

Photocarver Mills Your Photos Into Slabs Of Wood

ART, HOME

As Instagram grew, so have the printing services in its periphery, allowing you to get your digitally-filtered images slapped on everything from pillows to tiles to coasters. Photocarver does those services one better by not just printing your photos — they carve them into slabs of wood, instead. Yep, your digital photos turned into wood relief, the same kind of woodcarving they used to do in the days before photographs came into the world. And the service isn’t limited [...]

Steve Casino’s Peanut Sculptures

ART

Think peanuts are only good for making you fat, giving you acne breakouts, and getting bottled with jelly (and, sometimes, chili) into a delicious spread? With a little creativity, they make for excellent art pieces, too. Case in point: these Peanut Sculptures. Made by artist Steve Casino, the tiny sculptures are made from peanut shells with the contents removed before being glued back together and sanded to prep them for painting over. He equips each of the peanuts with sticks [...]

These Star Trek Fine Art Prints Are Neat Yo!

You want classy geeky art replete with color to really liven up a room. If you’re a fan of Spock and the gang, then these Start Trek Fine Art Prints should make for a pleasant alternative. Know how it’s a terribly bad idea to hang illustrations of imagery from Star Trek if you want to get lucky at [...]

Toronto-based artist Allister Lee has set his focus on black markers, which he proceeds to draw individually to scale in an art project he calls the Black Marker Bible. Intent on building the most extensive assemblage of black markers in the world, the artist started the collection back in 2002 when he started using different types of black markers [...]

Ultimate Deck Playing Cards Bring Creepy Horror Artwork To Your Solitaire Games

ART, ENTERTAINMENT

The standard 52-deck playing cards is one of the most enduring timesuckers ever devised and we love it to pieces. If only it weren’t so boring to look at.

These Miniature Bonsai Sculptures Are Made With Tiny Wires

ART, HOME

Bonsai is awesome. Like all real plants, though, you’ll have to care for them both to keep them alive and to prevent them from growing. If you just want the aesthetics sans the maintenance part, maybe these Miniature Bonsai Sculptures will suit you better. Created by artist Ken To, the sculptures are actually differently-colored copper wires that are bent, curled and twisted into a bundle to resemble the appearance of a bonsai tree.

Perfect for nautical-themed rooms, the framed images are, technically, bathymetric charts (the underwater equivalent of topographic maps), although they look more like exquisite pieces of art.

This Comic Collage Art Will Make An Awesome Gift For Comic Fans

ART, HOME

Growing up, comic books were the pinnacle of your exposure to the arts. Muscular and square-jawed superheroes, insanely voluptuous women, and abhorrent supervillains filled the landscape of your visual fascination. Now that you’re older and wiser, you’re still the same way. So forget about buying that piece of art you saw in the gallery for hanging in the living room and get one of these Comic Collage Art pieces instead. Made by Mike Alcantara, the collages are made from pages [...]

Modern Trojan Horse Sculpture Made From 18,000 Computer Keys

ART

From what we can tell, the Hedonism(y) Trojaner isn’t a real Trojan Horse. For one, there’s no way you can fit an army of soldiers inside it. Unless, of course, each of those keys adorning its body can transform into a mini-attack robot. Which would be awesome. Created by artist Babis Panagiotidis, it’s a resin sculpture of a horse covered in over 18,000 keys salvaged from computer keyboards. It sits atop a rocking base (yes, like the Pony Girl Rocker) that [...]
