With dozens of glowing reviews, we didn’t think Left 4 Dead could get any cooler; these four pun-laden, movie-style posters have us drooling like zombies on grey matter.

Designed by Tim Doyle, these three color posters of OCP baddies and the meme-inspired Robocop on a Unicorn bring back fond memories. Now, if only he’d do a 6000 SUX print…

If you liked his steel-tipped markers, Krink is releasing a special pair of Nike Air Force 1s 11/29; it features his signature dripping ink stripes as well as a handmade silver marker.

Plasmic Bricks is a jaw-dropping collection of sculptures by Bryce McGlone, whose biomechanical creations push the limits LEGO art; his most recent piece is based on Giger’s Li II.

AntWorks is the ultimate ant farm: filled with a NASA gel, ants will tunnel and eat through it; once they’ve gone to ant heaven, pour a special resin to create a one-of-a-kind sculpture.

Dell’s definitely been getting artsy lately, first with the Studio and now their Inspiron Mini 9 and 12 laptops sporting one of five line-art heavy covers; they’ll set you back an extra $50.
