The Cthulhu cultist with goggles mask

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve seen people clubbing in gas masks. I suspect this particular mask might appeal to them as well. It’ll appeal to ravers, goths and those who worship alien gods from beyond time and space. This mask, tentacles and all, is on sale over at Legion Leather’s etsy store. Take note of the warning; Made from […]

Gangster mugshots for Batman’s baddies

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Artist Jason Mark was inspired by well dressed gangsters and villains in this Laughing Squid curated collection of Australian mugshots. The result? He turned some of Gotham’s favourite foes and Batman’s most frequent enemies into something similar. Check out his portfolio at Jempix.blogspot.ca for more fantastic (and often superhero) art.

Short film: ABE, the Softly-spoken robot serial killer

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A rather sinister short film but ideal if you need to distract your brain. What would it take for a robot to turn serial killer? Why would it do it? What would it be trying to do? These are some of the questions explored in Rob McLellan’s ABE. Fans can get more information from the […]

Steampunk BBQ train

May 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Have you known anyone to engage in a war of BBQ one-upmanship with their neighbour? It happens. In this case I think we have a victor and a rather cool (but hot) winner at that. This BBQ not only looks like a steam train it also manages to have a certain steampunk vibe to it. […]

Using the undead to keep your coffee warm: zombie mug cozy

May 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This clever idea comes to you via Mels at Geek Crafts. In order to add some zombie love to your morning you need some grass coloured yarn (it’s not sold in rotting flesh tones, but grass green is pretty good), a H/8 crochet hook, a tapestry needle, one large button and other buttons, felt, floss […]

Goomba cake, Goomba cake and if that’s not very clear; Goomba Cake!

May 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Goombas (known as Kuribo or Chestnut People in Japan) are a race of sentient mushroom men from the world of Mario. We’ve seen plenty of cute and clever Goomba stuff over the years but this cake from Mike’s Amazing Cakes is a new tasty high for me. Hmm. Goomba goodness.

Robotically cool Transformer costume

May 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This impressive costume was built by Derepentigny Marc who graduated as a machinist in 1995. He likes to push the limits of what he can built and tends to favour transformable costumes, robots, models and dragons. Got to have a bit of dragonfire in there. Via Mark’s Projects

Star Wars Day: The Stormtrooper blooper

May 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blooper has been seen by millions. I certainly remember it… but has it made it through all the edits of the special editions? If you’re yet to see it the clip above shows the Stormtrooper bonking his head on a doorway on the way to the control room while the heroes are stuck in […]
