Batman Blues
Monday, March 8th, 2010
Just dig the cool sleeve on this blues compilation from 1969. The man dressed as Batman is supposed to be legendary blues producer Mike Vernon. And what a line-up !

Batman generator
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
You’ve probably seen the “My parents are deaaad” image popping up all over the interwebs. Now you can easily create your own stupid, zany or disturbing Batman and Robin dialogues with the Batman Comic Generator. Neat.

Batman line art
Monday, January 25th, 2010
This beautiful piece of Batman line art was created by Canadian artist Eric Orchard, during a Batman drawing night with his Twitter mate Nicholas Myers, back in November 2009. You’ll find a (much) larger version, along with more of Eric’s work on his blog. Oh, and you’ll find Nicholas’ version here.

Argyleman !
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Mark Newport is a visual artist who likes to work with knitting techniques, either during performances, or in finished pieces like these super-heroes winter outfits. I love the Argyleman costume. Be sure to check out Newport’s website, with more examples (including a quite convincing version of Michael Chabon’s Escapist costume)

Imagine Picasso doing super-heroes ? Mike Esparza of the Wonder Bros beat you to it. There’s more…

Jesse Robot Pimps Our Office
Thursday, June 18th, 2009
The company I work for, is very cool. When we moved into our new digs earlier this year, we wanted something special on our walls. Rather than paying some fancy interior decorator, our boss asked local grafitti artist (and cartoonist, tattoo designer, sticker maker, etc.) Jesse Robot to come up with something nice.
And as of this week we can all enjoy the result : our office walls now are riddled with strange, super-deformed robots with a few pop culture references for good measure. Makes work (almost) like play !
Even worse than death…

The daily life of superheroes
Saturday, June 13th, 2009
Toronto photographer Ian Pool creates photocompositions, allowing us a peek into the secret daily life of well-known superheroes. I particularly like the way he positions action figures in everyday situations, and manages to achieve a very believable degree of realism.
Also check out the Hulk portrait that he presents on his site (see also after the click), which is almost scary and wouldn’t be out of place as illustration with a profile in a glossy magazine.
It’s #@$# Good !

Speech bubbles galore on this concept for a line of snack products from Russian studio Hattomonkey, as presented on The Die Line. And they’ve got a Batman Strawberry Drink to boot !

His shadow looms…

I normally don’t really dig lolcatz that much anymore, but this one I like.
