Awesome Superhero and Star Wars Art by 'Vivid Fury' Lawrence Reynolds
Many among you are going to hate me for this because for the second time in less than 36 hours I am going to send you to a Flash website. Take that if you’re on an iPad. If you’re poor like me, you still are trying to win an iPad, but even if you have the wonderful device already, trust me… this stuff is good! In all honesty, I would even consider to send the $600, I would spend for an iPad, to Lawrence Reynolds because my new pad has a really nice and large dark red wall and his artwork would perfectly fit there. It’s about stuff we all Read more »
Tron Goes Saul Bass. Lost Just Is Lost
Checking my multimedia library, especially the movie section feels like reading the IMDB All-time Top 250 and maybe that is why I am not excited about The Expendables, even the addition of Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme would not get this Belgian guy to the movies to check out the adrenaline volume. Even my list of best movie titles scenes isn’t 100% representative for my taste, but it’s a step in the right direction already. And has Kyle Cooper and Saul Bass in it. Saul Bass the master of the movie title sequence. You can imagine my joy when I discovered the Vimeo user Hexagonall who made ‘Saul Bass Read more »

Superheroes Solve World War II
I know that this is not totally new but while I have imported some entries from my former ‘geek’ blog to FG, I thought this deserved to be highlighted more than just being there, in the archives. Deviant art member TOYIB has published his image edit, catapulting some of our most loved loved super heroes in to WWII situations. Although he only upped some pictures so far, the results are impressive and it would be awesome to see even more heroes than just Batman, Spiderman, Superman and Darth Vader in WWII situations. Superman at Neuschwanstein, Cologne (D) in 1945. Read more »

Human Bones Art Against Violence
The story is simple but almost unbelievable: In the mid-90’s, during an auction from an old school, I purchased 3 metal lockers and to my surprise one of them held a real, full size articulated skeleton,” he says. “For years I had it displayed in one of the rooms in my studio and I often wondered what else I could do with it.

More pictures after the jump and in the Read more »
