This is quite possibly the coolest full zip hoodie I have ever seen. Not only do you look like the Batman himself but the eyes have mesh so you can wear it where ever you go. The black and white hoodie features the cape, utility belt, muscles and all. This would go great with the Go-kart Tumbler.

Being the huge Resident Evil fan that I am, I’m really digging this shirt idea. The shirt was given away by Capcom during a past Comic Con for the (then) new Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

I know it’s a little hard to see the photos but the front of the shirt says “Let Your Darkside Out”,  but when you flip the front of the shirt over your head you become an infected! The inside of the shirt features an undead face. A face only a mother….. no, scratch that. I’m pretty sure my mother’s first reaction would not be a lovely one.

Who knew a hat that makes it appear as PacMan himself is devouring your head, could look so stylish. This bright yellow plush hat is somewhat like a balaclava mask, just less threatening. It would be entertaining to see someone doing crime in one of these.

Need a cheap way to become your favorite Transformable Earth Saving Alien Robot? Well look no further! You can learn how to make your very own Optimus Prime getup at home. 

The best part you ask? It would have to be the part where you only have to spend $20! AND eat your favorite cereal in bulk anytime of day! Because now you have an excuse to.
Wait, now what does any of that have to do with an Optimus Prime costume? I’ll tell you what this has to do with the OPC. This DIY costume is made completely out of CEREAL BOXES.  
Yeah. I know. You never thought breakfast could be so rewarding.

Start practicing your pick up lines now, fellas. The “That shade of lipstick you’re wearing compliments my dipstick, they’d look great together.” line always gets them.
Ladies! Ladies! Please try to contain yourself!

~Special thanks to my mother, for the Boo Berries. I couldn’t of done it without you.

Brooklyn street artist Katie Sokoler brings Pac Man to life and to the streets of her neighborhood, Greenpoint.

The Pac Man art is large posterboard cutouts of the Main Man, his ghostly foes and the dotted trail. Her art was created upon 5 different wall locations. Katie gets her inspiration from her love of the game growing up. She is also a photographer so this gave her the perfect moments to capture.

The cutouts are now decorating the walls of her apartment.

Cool sightings in Paris and cities across the world of 8-Bit themed mosaic graffiti or just Space Invader Zones?…. No…. graffiti. 

 Incognito French street artist who goes by “Invader” started his project in 1998. He calls his works of art “invasions”. 

He works on a city at a time, documenting the locations of his works. Which, when mapped out, form one giant Space Invader. Paris being his most invaded city; he has also invaded Tokyo, London, Rome, Berlin, Perth, Los Angeles and many more. 

One of the most interesting places that Invader has put his Invader Mosaics is on a few letters of the Hollywood sign. Starting with the letter D then spreading to 8 other letters after more visits to Los Angeles. 

Invader also has a project called “Rubikcubism” which I’ll cover in a post coming soon. 

I am one who likes to see how other people view video game characters in real life. Thanks to artist Anthony Jones we can have an idea of how he sees these famous video game stars in the real world.

He even created a story for a spin off of the Super Mario Bros stars, called Mario. The story has a Mafia take on the gang.

This is the coolest go-kart I’ve seen so far. You’d be the coolest kid on the block to own one of these. No longer would you be teased for wearing that beautiful Batman getup! 
And get this! It only takes an old go-kart and $30 worth of materials to make this bad boy!

A man named Tully, also known as T-man, is the crafty go-kart expert that created this low budget mini Batmobile.

I think it’s safe to say this is being added to my Christmas wishlist this year.

Ever wonder what it would look like if Marvel Comics met Star Wars?

Well thanks to Mark Verta you can imagine what Iron Man and R2-D2′s offspring would look like….. That or we now know Tony Stark is a Star Wars fanboy.

This is a clever Iron Man inspired R2-D2 model by artist Mark Verta.
