Clever Illustrations by Nabhan (14 photo)

Deviant Art user Nabhan has created a series of illustrations in which many of these objects double up as puns. For instance, one of the illustrations shows a man who has taken away the “control” button on the keyboard, alluding to the more figurative idea of “taking contol” of one’s life. While some drawings are silly, others are quite creative and will brighten up your day. View the rest of these illustrations below.

Incredible Hyperrealistic Drawings of Everyday Objects (11 photo + 1 video)

Milan-based Italian illustrator and graphic designer Marcello Barenghi creates hyperrealistic drawings of ordinary objects that boggle the mind. It's hard to believe that the artist uses a standard set of art supplies to reproduce the likeness of everyday items, including anything from a bag of chips or bottle of whiskey to a crumpled up banknote. Each mixed media illustration in the artist's growing collection of works goes beyond just seeming realistic. They give the illusion of three-dimensionality, leaving one to question what they're actually looking at. Every wrinkle and glossy reflection is illusively reproduced, taking approximately 4 to 6 hours to complete. Barenghi also records his meticulous process, compressing the hours of work into 3-4 minute videos. Check out a time lapse view of the artist drawing a disheveled stack of playing cards, below.

Amazing Typography Portraits Created with Song Lyrics (7 photo)

Anyone interested in typography will be in complete awe of these realistic portraits by artist Sean Williams. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, the designer, photographer, and art director certainly has a great eye for conceptual designs. To create the series, entitled Hip Hop Type, Williams took the lyrics from popular songs by each subject, including Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and Kanye West. Relying on both positive and negative space, the artist then warped, curved, and resized the letters to fit perfectly together, forming instantly recognizable faces. The absolutely mind-blowing illustrations are an impressive combination of typography and illustration. Featuring just one simple color, the handful of well-organized words can be regarded in two ways. First, from up close, viewers can read the lyrics and visualize the artist at work on stage. Then, from a bit farther away, the color blends together to form the distinct facial details of each pop star.

Adorable Illustrations of Superhero Families (11 photo)

Paris, France-based designer Andry "Shango" Rajoelina has created an incredibly adorable set of illustrations called Super Families that show superheroes and their families on their way to school. The first part of his series, Justice Families, debuted back in May and in July he released part two, Marvel Families. Each of the illustrations shows superheroes we all know and love as either young children or as grown-up parents with children of their own. With their backs turned, we don't see their faces. Each character is easily identified, however, with their unmistakable outfits.

Miley Cyrus Twerking On Famous Paintings (11 photo)

In Things That Will Make You Go :/ or actually Things That Will Make You Go :P because she can’t keep her tongue in her mouth (is it ’cause weak teeth? faulty lips?), here’s Miley Cyrus twerking on famous paintings. The series was put together by Buzzfeed staffer Jen Lewis. To be honest, I really struggled with this one. I mean, I didn’t want to have to show you this mess. But you know what? I had to see it, so now you do too. Thems the rules! The rules I just made up in my head. Totally legit.

Photorealistic Ballpoint Pen Drawings by Gareth Edwards (10 photo)

Just how incredible are these photorealistic ballpoint pen drawings by artist Gareth Edwards? Using regular ballpoint pens and, in some cases, acrylic paint pen, the UK-based artist meticulously creates portraits of such famous celebrities as Audrey Hepburn, Walt Disney and Humphrey Bogart with Candy Toxton (from the film Knock on any Door (1949)).

Construction Vehicles Designed as Gothic Architecture (11 photo)

Belgian artist Wim Delvoye creates large-scale sculptures of vehicles typically found on construction sites, using an intricate lattice design. Inspired by Gothic architecture, the massive laser-cut Corten steel structures break the boundaries between constructing tools and resulting art. They appear to be one and the same, each truck mimicking a sort of mobile cathedral.

Matthieu Georger is an amazing origami artist that can not only fold advanced and technical designs from other origami masters, but also creates his own designs, such as the bull and bear below.

Optical Illusions Portraits (8 photo)

Optical illusions is just a fancy way of saying eye trickery, except it’s bigger words and harder to spell. This is a series of cray cray portraits, chock full of optical illusions aka eye trickery. The kinda stuff that’s gonna make your eyeballs be all “WAIT WUT?” and your brain say “This is too much for me to take in, I need a nap.” And is that what you want? IS IT? The person responsible for this madness is Ukrainian artist Oleg Shuplyak. Great job, Oleg! I mean, seriously? My eyeballs closed up shop indefinitely and my brain just packed up and left town. So thanks! Thanks for that.

Hilarious Twitter Feed Highlights First World Problems (12 photo)

London-based Benjamin Lee is the clever mind behind the Twitter account Middle Class Problem, a feed through which he retweets all kinds of "problems" that people complain about through social networking. Each dramatic statement is made by a person suffering from what Lee calls "Real problems but not real actual problems, just middle class ones." Reading through the tweets is a quick reminder of how easy life can be sometimes. One Tweeter complains that there is just too much orange zest in his brunch mimosa—oh the horror!—while another complains that having a cup of tea with soy milk was the "worst mistake she's ever made"—if that's the case then she is one lucky gal!

The Most Morbid Photo Series You'll See Today (8 photo)

Ready for the most morbid question you'll be asked today? If you were to die tomorrow, what photo would you choose to be displayed at your funeral? Photographer Frieke Janssens is behind Your Last Shot, a set that takes that thought-provoking question and turns it into an intriguing series. “In reality, those left behind need to quickly find a photo that is ‘OK’ and usually requires some Photoshop retouching," he states. "How would the deceased feel about the chosen photo? Maybe he or she would have untagged themselves from it?” You can actually get your very own last shot for the high price of 835 euro or about $1,100 US dollars. Frieke will take your portrait, you'll get a team of professionals to do your make-up and styling, and you'll come away with your very own portrait baked in oval porcelain. As Frieke says, "Your last shot will not be your cheapest shot, but hey... you only live once."

New Trailer for Keanu Reeves' Other Martial Arts Film, MAN OF TAI CHI (2 photo + 1 video)

Keanu Reeves is all about the martial arts films these days! He's got 47 Ronin coming out, which looks awesome, and then there's this Man of Tai Chi, which also looks pretty cool. Reeves not only starred in this movie, but he directed it too. It kind of has a Mortal Kombat vibe to it, especially at the end when Reeves yells out, "Finish Him!" Set in modern Beijing, the film follows the spiritual journey of a young martial artist (played by Tiger Chen) whose unparalleled Tai Chi skills land him in a highly lucrative underworld fight club. As the fights intensify, so does his will to survive. The film incorporates an innovative camera technology that helped capture the 18 fight sequences, which take up 40-minutes of the film. They used Bot & Dolly's "Iris," which is the world's most advanced robotic motion control camera system in order to capture the action up close and personal with camera moves only possible before in video games and other CG environments. Then the fight sequences in the movie were directed by renowned action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping (the Matrix Trilogy, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). So we know those are going to be amazing. Check out whats in store for us in the trailer below!

Steampunk IRON MAN and OPTIMUS PRIME Helmets (4 photo)

The steampunk look is so cool, but it seems like it would be an expensive scene to get in to. Especially with those amazingly detailed costumes and gear. Etsy user Captain Bayley has created a couple of radical steampunk helmets for Iron Man and Optimus Prime. I love how they turned out!

What If Mark Wahlberg Was IRON MAN  (1 photo + 1 video)

Not long ago, Mark Wahlberg said that he would be interested in taking over Iron Man when Robert Downey Jr. is done with it. Official Comedy created this funny short that gives us a look at what Iron Man might be like if it was set in Boston and starred Wahlberg. The guy they got to play the actor may not really look like him, but he's definitely got the vocal impression down. The short features Tony Stark battling The Mandarin and Obadiah Stane while trying to save Pepper and Fenway Park. It's pretty entertaining, and I hope you enjoy it!

15 Art Pieces of WONDER WOMAN and CAPTAIN AMERICA by Des Taylor (16 photo)

Des Taylor (known as DESPOP) has created some wonderful art. The team of Wonder Woman and Captain America is among my favorites, and that is perfectly encapsulated by the recent commission piece he did featuring the two of them, which you can find featured in the slideshow below. The art itself is fantastic, but above that, I personally believe that Steve and Diana would make a much better fit than she and Clark do. As tempting as it is to make this post nothing but a rant on that particular subject, I will resist and instead focus on Despop's lovely art style. Check out the gallery to see more of his Cap and a lot more of his Wonder Woman, and if you enjoy it, you can find more of his work on deviant art or his official store.

2013 NY Fashion Week: 14 Men's Styles We're Glad Never Got Popular (14 photo)

Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week 2013 began this week and that should mean absolutely nothing to anyone reading this website. Here is the basic idea — a bunch of designers you can’t afford show off clothes you’ll never own to a crowd of famous people you’ll never get to meet. Occasionally, there are naked boobs. Instead of showing pictures of the absurd 2014 clothing lines, we went back into the archives to check out the awful styles of the past. Sadly, any of this stuff would work on the runway today. Here are fourteen men’s styles that thankfully never filtered down to your local Target.

Explosive Photos of the Burning Man Spaceship in Flames (5 photo)

Photos are just starting to emerge of this year's Burning Man, the annual festival that draws tens of thousands to Nevada's hot Black Rock Desert for one week each year to become a part of a special group dedicated to art, community, self-reliance and self-expression. This year, 61,000 people attended the near sold out event where they were able to witness first-hand the famous Burning Man figure (otherwise known as The Man) and the spaceship-like pavilion he's standing on burn dramatically to the ground.

Surreally Absurd GIFs by Bill Domonkos (9 photo)

Visual artist and experimental filmmaker Bill Domonkos manipulates archive photos and old film footage into surreally absurd gifs. The multifaceted artist's otherworldly creations reflect his fascination with repurposing and combining moving images of yesteryear. Each gif is wackier than the next, presenting a wild scene clearly accomplished with digital editing and special effects. Domonkos' affinity for working with vintage, black and white images adds to the curious nature of his work. His altered take on the past is like one big sci-fi experiment, reminiscent of early avant-garde cinema. Instead of a simple portrait of a woman's profile, the artist adds his creative touch to simulate a kinetic mechanism running endlessly on a her headgear. In Domonkos' world, it is almost fitting that a projection of a jockey riding his race horse plays on a loop in a sink bowl.

Heartbreaking Paintings of Deceased Shelter Dogs (10 photo)

Just like photographer Traer Scott and her heartbreaking portraits of shelter dogs, artist Mark Barone is trying to bring some much needed attention to the neglected animals in shelters. After learning that 5,500 shelter dogs are killed every day in the United States, he decided to paint 5,500 portraits of actual shelter dogs with names and the date that they were killed. Now two years into the project, Barone has painted more than 3,500 portraits which, for any dog lover, are incredibly hard to look at.

"Dogfighters" Morph WWII Planes with Furry Animals (6 photo)

Inspired by their love for both dogs and airplanes, digital production studio Ink created this playful series, entitled Dogfighters, that blends WWII planes with a selection of friendly, furry animals. The studio explains that the planes were "carefully paired with their canine counterparts in order to transform their familiar hard-edged, silhouettes into a more adorable craft; a beagle, a schnauzer and a golden retriever."

Faceless People With Moving Mechanical Parts in Their Heads (4 photo)

Belgrade, Serbia artist Milos “Sholim” Rajkovic has created a surreal collection of animated GIFs showcasing faceless people with moving mechanical parts packed into their heads. In an interview with The Daily Dot, Milos shared that the models he used his GIFs were “politicians, corporate people, or just pretty faces from the commercials that we watched for hundreds of times during a day and who have no identity and personality.”

Hyper Realistic Paintings by Simon Hennessey (10 photo)

Simon Hennessey is a Birmingham, UK based artist who paints realistic images of famous landmarks around the world as reflected in the lenses of a pair of sunglasses. Like most hyper-realistic painters, Hennessey’s process starts with the camera. But instead of simply copying the photograph, the artist proceeds to add or remove details, depth, add textures, form and color values, thereby creating an illusion of a reality not seen in any photographic source. “My Paintings therefore appear clearer and more distinct than a photograph. constructing my own interpretations of a reality results in blurring the boundaries of what is real and what is made up,” said Simon Hennessey. “I use the camera only as a source to assist me with gathering information.”

Surreal Illustrations Merge Dreams and Childhood Memories (16 photo)

St. Petersburg-based digital artist Alex Andreev recently unveiled the 9th installment of his ongoing series titled A Separate Reality. The collection features remarkably surreal illustrations of an alternate universe where skateboarders are guided by flying stingrays, masses of land float in the sky, and there's little difference between an enormous airplane and a monstrous octopus. Each image is brimming with elements from real-life placed in unconventional compositions, making them seem like weird yet wonderful dreams. Andreev's imaginative works borrow just as much from his own creative dreams as they do from his childhood memories. By merging these two sources of creativity, both conscious and subconscious, the artist produces entirely unique scenes. There's a sense of enthusiasm for exotic environments that think way outside the box, awarding residents of Andreev's fictional settings the freedom of free falling and diving through the clouds without a worry in the world.

The Secret Life of Heroes by Gregoire Guillemin (10 photo)

We've been fans of French artist Gregoire Guillemin for quite some time. In the past, we featured many of his superhero themed series such as his retro-modern superhero illustrations as well as his smooth, minimalist superhero work. Lately, Guillemin has been working on a hilarious new series called The Secret Life of Heroes. The funny and sexy illustrations feature both heroes and villains in ways we've never seen them before. Poor Mickey Mouse looks worn down and sick while smoking a cigarette while Winnie the Pooh looks like he's really enjoying that beer. The best illustrations are the ones where the hero or heroine is acting completely out of character like Disney's Ariel scarfing down some sushi.
