I admit it, I’ve never been much of a comic book collector or super hero aficionado  I had a few comics growing up, and I would watch Spider Man ever now and again, but the super heroes of the 80s and early 90s just never really spoke to me. I know what you’re going to say… how could the Thunder Cats not speak to you? Sorry, but they didn’t, not even lovable but exceedingly annoying Snarf.

Anyway, as the years went on and I grew a little older, movie studios started releasing modern interpretations of these comic book classics. Batman, Spider Man, X-Men, Iron Man… you name it, they left no superhero untouched, and

As an avid non-driver, I’ve been on my fair share of public transportation.

Depending on your city of residence, public transportation such as buses or subway systems can be an excellent way to get around for cheap, while doing your part – however indirectly – to cut down on pollution and save us from a horrible water world filled with both water, and heavily mutated freak people with gills… who steal, and are

It seems as though we have a desire from birth to pile shit on top of other shit. Alphabet blocks transition into beer can stacking, ending in professional careers as construction workers, architects and longshoremen. Enter Stephen Kettle– slate sculpture artist who painstakingly stacks thousands of slivers of thin stone into unbelievable pieces of art. Kettle has had a pretty interesting life outside of his OCD art form; as a member of the Oxford Dangerous Sports club, he was one of five men thrown over 100 yards from a medieval trebuchet that was so large it had to be loaded with a Range Rover, which sounds pretty awesome. Unfortunately, the fifth man was thrown to his death, and this apparently convinced Kettle that sculpting was a much better lifestyle and occupational choice. While maybe not as badass, that choice has worked out well, with his pieces being displayed in galleries and museums around the UK.

If you’re a fan of Star Wars, and you happen to like stunning photographs of urban environments, Cedric Delsaux’s The Dark Lens should be right up your ally. Cedric has captured a number of stunning urban landscapes, and injected them with famous Star Wars characters and creatures. Despite how hokey the whole thing sounds, I promise you that his work is incredibly cool, even if you’re not a fan of the Star Wars saga.

What I really like about the whole collection is how well Cedric managed to integrate the Star Wars themed elements into the already existing photos. As you’ll see below, the lighting is absolutely perfect in most of the

Brian Dettmer is an artist, and one of seemingly endless patience. Using only a handful of simple tools, such as knives, tweezers, and glue, he creates incredible works of art from the husks of aged books. It’s tough to nail down an exacting genre for the type of work he creates, but one thing’s for sure – they’re all incredibly unique.

Brian began creating these papery sculptures in 2001, and has rapidly expanded his collection over the years. His work ranges from the anatomical, right through to political and even vaguely
