Once again Deviant Art should be thanked for soaring an artist into the spotlight of success. Under the bright lights today is Avid for this Transformers life style comment. When you’re feeling down and low – just remember – be an Optimist Prime and Not a Negatron!

Look what happens when a red gummy bear encounters Potassium Chlorate
Chemistry can be fun. Gummy bears can be fun. To be honest, I’ve no idea whether potassium chlorate is usually fun. I suspect most things with “chlorate” in their name tend to be more serious than fun. However, that should stop us – or some brave soul at the St. Albans Science Department – mixing […]
Night of the Living Trekkies
Yup. That’s right. They get even more cunning when it comes to the undead mashups. We’ve had Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Android Karenina, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and even Paul is Undead that features the Beatles as zombies. Where can we go from their? The clever publishers (not to mention author Kevin David Anderson […]
Tron Legacy trailer soundtracks transformed into stop motion lights (via @kpimmel)
This piece of animation from Kim Pimmel is awesome. Inspired by the Tron Legacy trailers, Kim used his “Light Study” photo series and turned them into a stop motion animation. Each and very frame is an individual photograph. It’s a long exposure photo and in some cases that’s up to 20 seconds long. The effect, […]
Zombie arms invade Madrid
Fear not. This is an advert for Resident Evil: Afterlife. I must admit. I do have to wonder how on earth they got permission for this. Maybe they could simply get the street space from the council in an art/cash deal. What about the local shop window? What about the local bus? Was that just […]
LEGO Tardis is awesome (via @JustJon)
I left a comment on Jon’s blog to say that not only was the LEGO Tardis awesome but he had earned his place in geek mythos. I think a follow up post here on Geek Native is only necessary. The Tardis is based on the David Tennant Doctor and uses the SNOT technique. By the […]
I’m Gandalf and Magneto. Get Over It.
Back in the day I was a Wizard on some MUSHes. A wizard wasn’t a powerful character. It was a coveted but unloved admin role that spent a lot of time saying “no” to people’s over powerful character creation attempts. “This is a grim and gritty crime fighting MUSH. There are no super powers. There […]
Super Shogun Stormtrooper
What’s not to like about Super7’s “lost” Star Wars ad from the 70s. Don’t you remember this Super Shogun Stormtrooper appearing in the original Star Wars? That’s because it’s a limited edition. The advert has worked because I’ve now heard of Super7. I hadn’t before. I’ve tried clicking on their “About us” (using Google Chrome) […]
Sumo Science at Aardman create world’s smallest stop-motion
Sumo Science (these people) are an animation house and they’ve landed a sweet gig from Nokia that’s allowed them to film the world’s smallest stop-motion animation. The team from Sumo made the film “at Aardman”. I suppose that could be a bit like saying a movie was filmed at Pinewood Studios; a way to attach […]
Buy yourself a haunted portrait
These are kinda cool. I think to get maximum impact out of one of these haunted portraits you’ll need to set it up. For example, you’ll need to have at least a few non-haunted portraits in the same style. These haunted portraits are for sale at Think Geek (where else) and there are a few […]
