Not for the big ego’d: To22’s Universe Ring is actually a toroidal (doughnut) model of the universe inspired by Stephen Hawking; a tiny speck represents the current known universe.

His frenetic style may not be for everyone, but fans of Tyler Stout’s artwork are in for a treat; his latest piece, Nuclear Option, is available both as a fitted tee and an 18″x24″ screenprint.

While this Scintillation video is no doubt beautiful, it’s the method that’s most amazing: it’s a 35,000 shot stop-motion film with fantastic DoF focus shifts and live projection mapping.

Fans of airbrush art should check out this Drippin Dots tee by Kill Brand; the pastel color scheme is slightly off-putting, but it’s otherwise a creative piece we wouldn’t mind wearing.

It’s official: Matt W. Moore doesn’t sleep, as evidenced by this double drop of two sets of 27 6″ x 6″ unbound prints, limited to 500 sets; choose from B/W B:5 or the colorful Alphaphont 3.0.

These 1960s-style paperback covers actually show off contemporary movies including Shaun of the Dead and Big; made by Mitch Ansara, they’re a funky blend of cinema and literature.

Thanks to popular demand, artist Jason Chan’s Zombie Playground is now available as a print; we’ll bet on a gang of rabid third graders over the undead hordes any day.

Made by the Loworks creative agency, Pair is a canvas-wrapped print mounted on wood panels with archival quality pigment inks; it’s limited to 20 and signed/numbered by Haruki.

A twisted take on the famous duck/rabbit optical illusion, Tomas Schneider’s Business As Usual is a mixed media piece about warmongers with ceramic bronze, brass, wood and sand.

Created by Harvard’s Samuel Arbesman, this Milky Way Transit Authority map was inspired by a reading of Carl Sagan’s Contact and applies subway mapping on a galactic scale.

Finally, some targets geeks will appreciate: Olly Moss’ has a sweet “Shoot the Baddies” graphic that features our favorite movie and game villains. Note: vote for it at Threadless.

Mu Pan’s Origamu paper sculptures make our paper cranes look positively lame; these intricately crafted pieces have a grace and fluidity that improves on traditional origami.

Our days of swapping floppies are long over, but Antrepo takes us back with these posters; it shows how many 3.5″ floppies it’d take to install modern apps like iTunes and Photoshop.

Next time you promise your lady the moon, do it for real with this portable Private Moon by Russian artists Leonid Tishkov and Boris Bendikov; it’s essentially a lightbox made out of pine.

Our favorite artist of insane details is as it again: eBoy’s Peecol Toy Poster is droolworthy, with nearly 100 characters ranging from space aliens and robots to Playboy Bunnies.
