I haven’t posted any original graphic design in awhile, so when I saw Mark Weaver’s work, I knew I’d found something special. Weaver goes for that rustic, DaVinci-esque look that resembles an old philosopher’s sketchbook. He also makes excellent use of color, as one can easily see from the above print. I’d so buy of Mark’s work if I had ...

Legend of Zelda Nail Design
Anyone can waltz down to the local strip mall, pay $20 and get a set of fake, ugly acrylic nails slapped on their hands. But if you have class and skill, the right thing to do would be to paint on your own design. Take for instance Happylod3’s Legend of Zelda inspired fingernails. She painted the Triforce, the ocarina, the ...

Gearfuse reader Kenneth Macy sent in his website where he creates unique designs that fit on your feet. It’s called Ashi Dashi and as you can see from some of the examples above, Kenneth is quite the creative guy.

I love Joel. I really do. He’s a good friend and when he’s drunk, I try to steal Boing Boing’s bank account number. But alas, our good friend Joel has uncovered a 6MB PDF file that supposedly was used to convince the Pepsi execs to change the logo. Surely you’ve seen those new Pepsi cans, right? Regardless, it seems the ...

Shitty title, but whatever. This is an impressive work of art from artist Sam Spenser. He calls his creation “Bloom” and I think it’s quite an appropriate title for a guy who shoved what looks like 50 umbrellas into a tree. It’s kind of beautiful but also a little on the weird side. Know what I mean? It just doesn’t ...

While it’s currently the dead of winter, summer is right around the corner and what better way to stay cool than with this Wi-Fi fan. It won’t give you the Internet but in return, you’ll receive sexy looks from the geeky housewife next door. It’s a product of Atypyk, some company that’s based in France. Unfortunately, like all good things, ...

Designed by one Katie Sokoler, these giant thought bubbles were pasted all around Brooklyn, NY. People walk by, stop to look and next thing you know, a fantastic photo opportunity has presented itself. From some of the pictures, it looks like this was done mostly around Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick areas. If you happen to spot one of these creations, ...

Nothing like a little Vader to start your Friday off. This particular gas mask mod is part of The Vader Project, a collective that designs crazy-ass helmets that resemble Darth Vader. The Vader Project is curated by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys. Kelemer and Marks gathered close to 100 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist ...

This guy is a fucking genius. Servotron, the man behind the tapestry, is a cross stitching genius who has recreated the entire world map of the SNES classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past out of whatever it is you stitch with. Very cool, but if you thought this was badass, wait until after the jump…
