This is art – but it’s also geeky art. Italian artist Andrea Petrachi builds these wonderful looking, fantasy, robotic constructs from bits and pieces that have been discarded. He uses lens, cameras and doll parts for heads, for example, forks for hands and wire for legs. I think they’re stunning and a successfully odd mix […]

It’s that technique which creates the stunning photographs we can see here. The “adventure trail” or “quest trail” is a fairly common device in computer RPGs. It’s a […]
The mighty Xenomorph Rex
On Monday we posted the first episode of Barry Sonnenfeld’s Dinosaurs Vs Aliens motion comic. It’s an interesting concept. There are all sorts of dinosaurs – and there are also all kinds of aliens, including the facehugging, acid drooling, xenoform aliens. This impressive predator is the creation of Nebezial and shows you what might happen […]

Steampunk Iron Man meets Sherlock Holmes
