Nour Saleh is a hijab wearing Canadian. Last year she took up a Tumblr challenge to draw herself as different fictional characters. I love how Nour responded to that challenge. Not only did she imagine herself as various superheroes, she kept the hijab in all of the illustrations. I think the results work well and […]
IronBay – Baymax meets Iron Man
How’s this for a “no nonsense nonsense” mashup? It’s Big Hero 6’s Baymax with Iron Man. IronBay is the work of deviant artist Bosslogix. The Australian artist has a few of his prints on sale from his gallery too; well worth checking out.
What if superheroes had part time jobs?

Official Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer
There are no strings on me. Since the cat was out of the bag Marvel wisely released the first teaser trailer for the next Avengers film. At this point nearly 6 million views have been recorded on the official release. The signs are there’s a lot of interest in this movie. What’s your gut feeling? […]
Superhero Week: Avengers 3D wall lights
These Avenger wall lights are proving to be quite popular. They’re battery operated so you don’t need to drill holes in the wall and I’m told are good for persuading kids to sleep and don’t get too warm either.

Superhero Week: Ultimate Iron Man cosplay
Ultimate Iron Man is so named as the variant from Marvel’s Ultimates series. In this series Tony Stark is still an inventor and still a business mogul but was born with a terrible mutation. As a result of the mutation his whole body is effectively a brain but terribly week. The bad news is that […]
