Awesome Illustration

Shahed Syed created this illustration which explains exactly how Dexter has taken down each of his victims throughout show’s five seasons (and even before the show started.). Contains spoilers.

Matt W. Moore’s limited edition graphic illustrations are inspired by classic Rorschach Tests, with hyper-colorful and psychedelic twists; we’re curious to know what you see when you look at them?

Much like chocolate and peanut butter, we think dinosaurs and superheroes are one of the greatest combos ever; ergo, we’re pleased to present the inspired illustrations of David Resto. (Thanks Matt!)

16-bit art has seen a resurgence lately, but Andy Rash hearkens back to even earlier (video game) times with Iotacons, extremely low res portraits reminiscent of more primitive 8-bit games.

Maybe some of the tidbits are unsubstantiated, but the simple factoids with complementary drawings that we found at Learn Something Every Day had us grinning from ear to ear. (Thanks Chris!)

Everything is illuminated in this beautifully constructed music video directed by Roger Haus and Matteo Crinelli for Cocoon. Illustrated using Adobe Flash and animated in After Effects.

When artist Brandon Peat found out his wife was expecting, they decided to illustrate an charming alphabet of Star Wars characters for the nursery, choosing most characters from the Original Trilogy.

Artist Keira Rathbone uses vintage typewriters as a medium to create her work. Typing out letters, numbers and symbols in place of brush strokes and pixels results in these fascinating images.

If you asked us to name a dozen famous redheads, we’d struggle to get past Ronald McDonald. Please refer to this handy wall chart the next time you’re asked to do the same. Say, where’s Murray?

Cartoonist Adam Watson imagines what it would be like if Dr. Seuss wrote Star Wars. Watson’s art is good, but it’s the prose that really ties things together. We hope he turns this into a whole book.

Graphic designer Matthew Ranzetta’s poster designs brilliantly combine Star Wars imagery with other classic movies. Yes, Luke did have a cool hand once it was replaced with a mechanical one.

If you thought building a desk or a dresser from IKEA was a challenge, these hysterical, hypothetical instruction sheets from College Humor will really put your assembly skills to the test.

At first glance, you’d think that you were looking at some sort of 3-dimensional sculpture, but these are just flat sheets of paper, illustrated with incredible depth by Chilean artist Fredo.

Artists Mike and Matt of Wonder Bros offer these Picasso-esque superhero prints over at their Etsy shop. While we kinda like scrambled Spider-Man, The Man of Steel is going to give us nightmares.

We’re digging the tender personalities and earthy tones in each of the 4 Monster Mash prints from Doug Boehm, who in addition to these seasonally appropriate fiends has a terrific portfolio of work.

London-based Laurie Lipton has developed her own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. Insane, haunting, and inspired.
