Wizard Of Tarantino


Nothing like an old-school Dave Macdowell painting to pull me out of my pop culture slumber. Love this one, especially Dorothy as Beatrix Kiddo. Badass.

All Men Must Fry


Ever wondered what the cast of Game of Thrones would look like drawn in the style of Bob's Burgers? Of course you have! Wonder no more, thanks to the work of artist CarlosDanger101. (Via Mashable)

Game & Watch: For Hours And Hours




Game & Watch was my first introduction to Nintendo and video games (I don’t think Merlin counts). Illustrator Mark Borgions made posters of three classics for the iam8bit 10th anniversary show: Parachute, Octopus and more.

Mad Max: Fury Road VS Adventure Time


A perfect pairing of two post-apocalyptic worlds: Mad Max: Fury Road and Adventure Time's Land of Ooo. Ryan May's character matching is excellent. Above: Lemongrab as the War Boy Nux and Finn the Human as Mad Max.



Princess Bubblegum as Furiosa with the wives, Wildberry Princess, Flame Princess and Lumpy Space Princess.



The Ice King as Immortan Joe is kinda disturbing.



Marceline, the Vampire Queen as Coma the Doof Warrior, a.k.a. the flame throwing guitarist.

Game Of Thrones Great Showdowns


“You know nothing, Jon Snow.“

I love Scott Campbell’s continuing Great Showdowns series. His latest are 20 Game of Thrones duels. These are four of my favourites.



“If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.“



“When you’re nothing at all there’s no more reason to be afraid.“



“Brothers! A hundred generations have defended this castle! It’s never fallen before, she will not fall tonight!
